Low-level laser therapy, also called cold laser therapy or photobiomodulation, uses low-intensity light to influence cellular activity. It is a noninvasive treatment that may help reduce pain and support recovery in certain conditions.
Treatment is generally well tolerated when performed by a trained provider using appropriate equipment and precautions. Your provider will review your medical history, medications, and any factors that may affect whether treatment is appropriate. Eye protection and device-specific safety guidelines are important.
Our clinic uses Erchonia low-level lasers. Different devices have different applications, and your provider selects the equipment appropriate for your treatment goals. FDA clearances apply to specific devices and uses. For example, the Erchonia FX-635 has cleared indications for certain chronic low-back pain and heel pain associated with plantar fasciitis.
Treatment is typically comfortable and painless. Many patients feel little or nothing during a session. Low-level lasers deliver nonthermal light rather than the intense heat used by surgical lasers.
