High Powered Laser Therapy
When targeted treatment may be appropriate
High powered laser therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target a specific area of the body. It may be considered as part of the management of certain musculoskeletal and soft tissue concerns.
At reHealth, your practitioner will first assess your symptoms, health history and individual circumstances before deciding whether laser therapy may be appropriate.
Where suitable, laser therapy may form part of a broader management plan alongside exercise, rehabilitation or hands-on therapy.
High Powered Laser Therapy
A targeted treatment approach
During treatment, your practitioner applies the laser directly to the skin over the selected area, with the settings adjusted according to your individual presentation and treatment plan.
You may notice a mild warming sensation during treatment. Your practitioner will monitor your response throughout the session and adjust the treatment as needed.
High powered laser therapy may be used as part of a broader management plan where appropriate.
