Laser Therapy at Atomic

This cutting-edge therapy is ideal for managing acute injuries, chronic pain, and inflammation, as well as aiding in rehabilitation for athletes.

At Atomic Physical Therapy, our Laser Therapy treatments offer advanced, non-invasive options for pain relief, accelerated healing, and inflammation reduction. Unlike traditional low-level laser therapy, our high-powered Class IV laser penetrates deeply into tissue to stimulate cellular repair, enhance circulation, and promote faster recovery. Our team of licensed physical therapists are experienced in administering Class IV Laser Therapy safely and effectively, helping you achieve optimal healing and long-lasting results.

A class IV laser is a high-powered therapeutic laser device used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. It emits concentrated laser energy that penetrates deep into tissues, promoting healing, reducing pain, and improving mobility. We use a Class IV laser as a non-invasive and effective tool to enhance patients' rehabilitation and recovery. By delivering up to 10 times the power of traditional low-level lasers, Class IV lasers are capable of reaching deeper tissues, providing enhanced therapeutic effects. This light energy initiates a series of biological responses in the cells, increasing circulation, reducing pain, and accelerating tissue repair at the cellular level. This therapy is especially beneficial for individuals experiencing soft tissue injuries, chronic pain, joint inflammation, or those recovering from surgery.

Laser Therapy is effective in addressing a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

Chronic Pain - the deep penetration of the laser helps alleviate pain from chronic conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and joint discomfort by reducing inflammation and promoting healing in affected tissues.
Soft Tissue Injuries - effective in treating injuries like sprains, strains, and muscle tears, Class IV laser therapy reduces recovery time and helps prevent re-injury by stimulating tissue repair.
Joint Pain and Inflammation: Class IV laser therapy is beneficial for managing pain and inflammation in joints such as the knees, shoulders, and hips, improving mobility and function.
Tendinitis and Tendinopathies - tendinitis conditions in the achilles, shoulder, and other tendons respond well to laser therapy, with reduced pain and accelerated healing.
Neuropathy and Nerve Pain -conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and neuropathies can benefit from Class IV laser therapy, which aids in nerve regeneration and pain reduction.
Post-Surgical Healing - laser therapy supports post-operative recovery, helping to reduce scar tissue formation, accelerate tissue healing, and enhance overall recovery outcomes.

What is Laser Therapy and what can it help treat?

At Atomic Physical Therapy, each Laser Therapy session is carefully designed to ensure effectiveness, comfort, and safety. Here’s what a typical treatment session includes:

What to expect during a Laser Therapy session

1. Initial Consultation and Assessment

Every new client undergoes a thorough evaluation to assess the root cause of their pain or injury and determine the best approach for treatment. Our therapists use this information to create a tailored therapy plan.
2. Application of Laser Therapy

During treatment, the Class IV laser is applied directly to the skin over the treatment area, where it delivers focused light energy into the tissues. As the light penetrates, clients may experience a gentle, warming sensation, but treatments are generally comfortable and well-tolerated. Sessions typically last between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the treatment area and condition being addressed.
3. Safety and Comfort

Laser therapy is safe and non-invasive, requiring no incisions, needles, or medications. Our physical therapists carefully monitor the treatment intensity and duration to ensure an effective yet comfortable experience for each client.
4. Post-Treatment Recommendations

Laser therapy requires minimal to no downtime, allowing most clients to resume daily activities immediately. Some clients experience relief following their first session, while others may benefit from a series of treatments. Our team will provide recommendations for follow-up care and exercises to help you get the most from your therapy.

Rapid Pain Relief: The high-powered laser provides immediate pain relief by reducing inflammation and promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain relievers.
Enhanced Tissue Healing and Repair: Laser therapy stimulates cellular activity, accelerating the body’s natural healing process and reducing recovery time for both acute and chronic injuries.
Reduced Inflammation and Swelling: Class IV Laser Therapy effectively reduces inflammation by enhancing circulation and cellular repair, particularly beneficial for inflamed joints, tendons, and muscles.
Improved Mobility and Function: By reducing stiffness and enhancing flexibility, laser therapy helps clients achieve improved mobility and comfort in affected areas, making daily activities and exercise easier.
Non-Invasive, Drug-Free Treatment: Laser therapy offers a safe, drug-free solution for pain management and tissue repair, making it an appealing alternative for those seeking natural options.
Quick Treatment Time with No Downtime: Sessions are efficient, and most clients experience immediate improvement, allowing for a seamless addition to any busy schedule.
