Are There Side Effects To Laser Therapy?
Class IV lasers are FDA certified. In fact, they adhere to the highest and most strict safety regulations. As a result, there are no known significant side effects from laser therapy to date.
There are positive side effects to laser therapy. For instance, an increase in blood flow. This can cause flushed skin. Some people feel a warm feeling as a result. However, these effects don’t last long, only for a few hours.
If laser therapy isn’t administered properly, it could lead to an increase in swelling for some injuries. This is especially true in areas that are already inflamed. Irritable nerve tissue may cause nerve pain if overstimulated. This can easily be corrected by adjusting treatment settings.
Here at Borja PT, we prioritize understanding treatment parameters to ensure the safety of our patients. All laser therapy treatments are administered by certified staff members who have completed advanced courses and training.
Improve With Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a safe and effective way to relieve pain. Treatment is fast, safe, and painless. Laser therapy improves the body’s healing process by energizing cells. As a result, it helps your body use its own healing powers by starting a series of healing responses.
Most people feel a reduction in pain during treatment. In fact, most people see results in as little as 3 to 5 sessions. Beyond that, the effects can continue for up to 18 hours. That means you will continue healing even after you get home.
