Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a form of light therapy using lasers or LEDs to improve tissue repair, reduce pain and inflammation wherever the beam is applied. It is commonly used for patients seeking a non-invasive treatment option for various pain-related conditions.

LLLT works by directing specific wavelengths of light into tissues. This process stimulates the cells and helps to enhance their function, which can reduce inflammation and promote healing, thus alleviating pain without the need for surgical intervention or medication.

LLLT is used to treat a range of conditions including muscle and joint pain, arthritis, back pain, tendonitis, and other chronic and acute pain conditions. It can also be effective in post-operative pain management. For more information on conditions that can be treated with LLLT click here.

Yes, LLLT is considered very safe. It is a non-invasive therapy with minimal side effects when performed by a qualified professional. It does not involve the use of drugs and is painless.

Treatment sessions last between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on your conditions. The length of the sessions, and how many sessions are required, will be discussed during a bulk-billed assessment session.

The number of treatments required can vary widely depending on the condition, its severity, and the individual's response to therapy. Some patients may experience relief after only a few sessions, while others might need a longer course of treatment.

Most patients do not feel any discomfort during LLLT sessions. Some may experience a mild sensation of warmth, but generally, the treatment is painless.

LLLT is associated with very few side effects, which are generally mild and transient. Some patients may experience temporary redness or irritation in the treated area, but serious side effects are rare.

Coverage for LLLT can vary by insurance provider and policy. We recommend checking with your health insurance provider to determine if LLLT is covered under your specific plan.
