Laser therapy

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) / photobiomodulation as adjunctive support in pain and soft-tissue care.

01 /Service description

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), scientifically referred to as photobiomodulation, is a physiotherapy method utilizing specific wavelengths of light to influence cellular processes. Known as a "cold laser," the aim of the therapy is not to heat the tissue.

Photobiomodulation may influence cellular signalling. Clinical results depend on the condition and treatment parameters, and evidence is not equally strong for all indications. We therefore use it as adjunctive support rather than a replacement for diagnosis or active rehabilitation.

02 /Indications & benefits

Who it is for.

Who it is for

After individual assessment, it may be used as adjunctive care for:

  • selected tendinopathies and soft-tissue concerns
  • acute injuries (sprains, muscle strains, and contusions)
  • some degenerative conditions when the goal is symptom support
  • pain syndromes (neck pain, lower back pain, or shoulder discomfort)

Key benefits

Possible effects depend on dose and individual response:

  • inflammatory-response modulation: used as adjunctive support when tissue sensitivity or swelling is present
  • pain management: used as an adjunctive modality for pain-symptom modulation
  • tissue repair support: helping create more favorable conditions for soft-tissue recovery as part of broader rehabilitation
03 /Treatment process

How the treatment works.

The treatment is non-invasive and usually painless, but it requires appropriate eye protection and screening for contraindications.

  • The physiotherapist applies a laser probe to the affected area, either in contact with the skin or held slightly above it.
  • Parameters are selected according to the area, treatment goal, and device characteristics.
  • The procedure lasts from a few minutes to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
  • Patients usually feel only the touch of the probe. The number of visits is based on response and the treatment plan; an outcome cannot be guaranteed.
