Laser Therapy Benefits
Through the use of infrared light, laser penetrates deep below the skin and gets absorbed by cells, which increases physiological processes. The following are laser therapy benefits:
1) restores normal cell function
2) reduces pain
3) reduces swelling
4) reduces inflammation
5) increases healing and tissue repair
Note: Laser therapy is also used for low back pain, neck pain, mid back pain, ankle pain, shoulder pain, wrist pain such as carpal tunnel syndrome, elbow pain and more.
