Why Choose Laser For Pain?
Meet Dr Roozbeh Malekzdeh
After undergoing surgery for a spinal disc prolapse, Dr RM found that his injuries were not responding to traditional pain modalities.
While looking for alternative remedies, he discovered Low Level Laser Therapy, which helped him manage his pain and speed up recovery from his injury.
Since then, Dr RM has made it his goal to share the power of LLLT with as many people as possible.
He has been a lead in the administration of LLLT in Australia for the over a decade, helping hundreds of people with their pain, and opening his clinic Laser For Pain in Kew.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)?

How does LLLT work?
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.
What conditions can be treated with LLLT?
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.
