Leading the Way in New Zealand: Laser Therapy at Physio360

At Physio360, one of the few physiotherapy clinics in New Zealand to offer laser therapy, we take pride in integrating cutting-edge technology to assist in speeding up recovery and effectively alleviating pain.

Below, we provide an informative overview of the benefits of laser therapy and its mechanisms.

How Does Laser Therapy Work?

Laser therapy enhances cellular activity in the body, promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and easing pain at the targeted location.

By utilizing monochromatic light that penetrates soft tissues, the laser not only stimulates cellular activity but also accelerates the healing process. Consequently, injuries are healed more swiftly and efficiently, allowing for quicker recovery and a return to daily activities.

Most patients feel a gentle warmth and immediate pain relief post-treatment, which aids them in performing physiotherapy exercises more effectively.

Advantages of Laser Therapy

1. Pain Relief without Side Effects

While many pain relief methods can bring about unwanted side effects, laser therapy is noted for its complete safety. Patients have reported no serious or long-term side effects, making it a secure choice for pain management.

2. A Non-Invasive Solution

Laser therapy is entirely non-invasive, meaning you won’t have to endure uncomfortable or invasive procedures to experience positive outcomes. It functions by sparking the body’s natural healing processes without disrupting them, and no medications are required during or post-treatment.

3. Painless Experience

Despite potential initial apprehensions, laser therapy is a painless procedure. As the laser interacts with your skin, patients typically only feel a comforting warmth and experience immediate relief during the session.

4. Effective for Chronic Pain Conditions

Patients suffering from chronic conditions often find limited options for pain relief, which usually involve ongoing medication or repeated medical procedures. Fortunately, laser therapy has shown to provide lasting relief after just a few sessions for chronic conditions such as back pain.

5. Quick and Efficient Treatment

One of the most appealing features of laser therapy within physiotherapy is its efficiency; a typical session lasts only about 15-20 minutes. This means you won’t have to set aside an entire day for treatment. Many patients report feeling relief after just one session, and combined with physiotherapy exercises, it leads to a smoother recovery process.
