Laser Therapy

 

Laser Therapy is designed to stimulate the energy production within each cell to help aid in healing and decreasing inflammation and pain. It provides pain relief and non-invasive treatment of diverse conditions. Laser can be used in combination with pharmacological methodologies. 

Once a condition is diagnosed by a doctor, laser treatments can be a quick visit to the hospital either daily or several times a week. Appointments with our assistants/technicians usually only take 15-20 minutes per visit.

Laser Therapy cannot be used on cancer cells and the abdomen of pregnant animals.
