Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) or “Cold Laser Therapy” is on track to become one of the most important developments in life sciences since the discovery of penicillin. LILT dramatically reduces musculoskeletal pain and inflammation, as well as promoting tissue repair wherever the laser beam is applied.
Treatment is quick, pain free, easy to apply and effective. Appropriate probes are placed on the skin at particular points on or relating to the damaged area and light, which is controlled for wavelength, power, pulsing rate and duration passes into the tissue.
Depending on the condition to be treated, each clinic appointment will take between 15 and 60 minutes, once or twice a week. The patient will feel nothing at the point of application, but many report a very relaxed feeling. Clients respond quickly when treating soft tissue conditions and pain, with results usually evident in the first 1-2 treatments. Other conditions vary.
