Laser Therapy
Laser Therapy
Are you tired of living with chronic pain that just won’t go away? If so, you may want to consider laser therapy as a non-invasive solution. At SwaHealth, we offer cutting-edge laser therapy treatments that can help reduce your discomfort and improve your overall quality of life.
How Does Laser Therapy Work?
The way laser therapy works is quite fascinating. When the laser light is applied to the affected area, it penetrates the skin and reaches the deeper tissues, such as muscles, tendons, and even nerves. This light energy triggers a series of cellular-level processes that can:
The light energy stimulates the cells to produce more ATP (the body’s energy currency), which in turn boosts the cells’ repair and regeneration capabilities.
Laser therapy can also block the transmission of pain signals, providing immediate relief from discomfort.
Conditions Treated with Laser Therapy
At SwaHealth, we use laser therapy to address a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
– Chronic pain: Whether it’s back pain, neck pain, or joint pain, laser therapy can help alleviate persistent discomfort.
– Sports injuries: From sprains and strains to tendinitis and bursitis, laser therapy can accelerate the healing process.
– Arthritis: The anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects of laser therapy can be particularly beneficial for those with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
– Post-surgical recovery: Laser therapy can help reduce swelling, bruising, and pain after various surgical procedures.

What to Expect During a Laser Therapy Session
When you visit SwaHealth for laser therapy, here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation: Your therapist will thoroughly assess your condition and discuss your treatment goals.
- Treatment plan: Based on your needs, your therapist will develop a customized laser therapy plan.
- Laser application: During the treatment, the therapist will gently apply the laser device to the targeted area, typically for 5-20 minutes.
- Relaxation: Many patients find the experience relaxing, as it is painless and non-invasive.
- Follow-up: Your therapist will monitor your progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed.
Is Laser Therapy Safe?
Laser therapy is a safe and well-tolerated treatment option. The low-level lasers used in therapy emit far less energy than surgical or cosmetic lasers, making them completely harmless to the skin and underlying tissues. However, it’s important to let your therapist know about any medical conditions or medications you’re taking, as they may need to modify the treatment approach.

At SwaHealth, we often integrate laser therapy with other proven therapies to enhance its effectiveness. Some common combinations include:
– Physical therapy exercises to improve mobility and strength
– Manual therapy techniques to address soft tissue restrictions
– Anti-inflammatory medications or supplements to reduce inflammation
– Cryotherapy or heat therapy to further alleviate pain and promote healing
