Deep-Tissue Laser Therapy

Deep-Tissue Laser Therapy (Class IV Laser Therapy)

Deep-tissue (also known as High-intensity) Laser therapy is a treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation (PBM).

This is where a light source is placed near or in contact with the skin, the light energy penetrates the skin reaching the mitochondria of damaged or diseased tissue.

PBM stimulates cells including pain receptors in peripheral tissues, the immune system and can cause vasodilation (improved circulation) and analgesic effects (pain relief). Moreover, laser therapy can stimulate repairs to damaged tissues and peripheral nerves leading to neurological regeneration.¹

Common conditions that Deep-tissue laser can be particularly beneficial for include;

• OA of knee, hip, ankle/foot
• Spinal degenerative disease/discogenic pain
• Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder)
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Achilles tendonitis/opathy
• Dupuytren’s contracture (trigger finger)
• Tenosynovitis

Laser therapy may be done on its own or can be combined with other therapies to maximise your outcome. Your treating clinician can discuss with you whether Deep-tissue laser therapy may be for you and any queries you have.
