What it is

What is laser therapy and how does it relieve pain?

Laser therapy is the delivery of specific light wavelengths, roughly 600 to 1000 nm, into tissue where cells absorb the energy and use it to reduce inflammation, improve circulation and speed natural repair. The treatment is painless, and most patients feel only gentle warmth. A session takes 15 to 30 minutes.

Laser therapy covers both ends of the pain spectrum: acute injuries that need 3 to 6 sessions, and chronic pain that needs 6 to 10 or more. Dr. Tsai applies it as part of a plan built around your injury or condition, alongside acupuncture or other manual therapies rather than as a standalone gadget session.

Our process

What happens during a laser therapy session?

A laser therapy session runs in five steps: consultation and assessment, a customized plan, the laser application itself, progress monitoring and aftercare guidance. Each session takes 15 to 30 minutes, and you return to normal activity right afterward.

Your session

Who is laser therapy for, and what does a session feel like?

Laser therapy suits patients with arthritis or joint pain, back and neck pain, sciatica, sports injuries, neuropathy, tendonitis or bursitis, or slow-healing post-surgical areas. Sessions are quick and painless, and most patients feel gentle warmth or tingling rather than anything sharp.

What to expect during your session

Sessions are quick and painless, and they require no preparation or recovery.

  • A calm, clean treatment space
  • A clear explanation of the area being treated and why
  • Gentle warmth or tingling - never pain
  • 15 to 30 minutes per session
  • Immediate return to normal activity afterward

Benefits

What does laser therapy change?

Laser therapy changes how much pain you feel without drugs, how fast tissue repairs, and how much of your day the treatment costs you. Calming inflammation at the source frees the body to repair itself faster.

How does laser therapy relieve pain?
Cells in the treated tissue absorb the focused light energy and use it to repair. That does four things:
  • Reduces inflammation and swelling
  • Improves local blood circulation
  • Speeds up natural tissue repair
  • Interrupts pain signaling at the site
Does laser therapy hurt?
No. Most patients feel only gentle warmth or mild tingling. There is no cutting, no needles and no discomfort during or after the session.
How many sessions will I need?
Acute pain improves in 3 to 6 sessions. Chronic pain takes 6 to 10 or more.
  • Acute pain: 3-6 sessions
  • Chronic pain: 6-10 or more sessions
  • Maintenance: occasional visits
What conditions can laser therapy help with?
Chronic pain, arthritis, back and neck pain, sciatica, sports injuries, neuropathy, tendonitis, bursitis and post-surgical healing. See Pain Management for all 10 pain areas the clinic treats.
Is laser therapy safe?
Yes - the clinic uses FDA-approved Class III and Class IV laser systems, a technology medical professionals use for pain and healing. Dr. Tsai reviews your history before recommending it.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
None. You resume normal activity immediately after your session. Some patients feel mild warmth in the treated area for a short while afterward, which fades on its own.
