Occupational Therapy for Adults and Pediatrics

Laser therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process known as photo biomodulation (PBM). During this process, light energy penetrates the tissue, triggering a biological cascade that enhances cellular metabolism. This increase in cellular activity helps reduce pain and inflammation, promote tissue repair, and accelerate the body’s natural healing process—supporting faster recovery and improved function.
Laser Therapy is used to treat acute and chronic conditions as well as post-activity recovery. When treating acute conditions with laser, it is particularly effective when it is administered as soon as possible following injury. With chronic conditions, laser can used most often to help combat persistent pain and inflammation. To aid in post- activity recovery, Light Force Lasers are used by over 250 pro, college, and Olympic sports teams across the US, and many parts of Europe and East Asia.

Shockwaves (Radial Pressure Waves/RPW) are acoustic waves that generate oscillations in the tissue. It reduces muscle pain, activates connective tissue, temporarily aid in the increase of blood flow. It can help in the treatment of tendinitis in hips and shoulders, as well helps aid pain in management in various musculoskeletal conditions.
Treatment sessions last around 10 minutes and generally require 4-6 treatments (potentially 8) to get a better outcome. It can treat large and small areas.
Treatments can cause soreness and a thumping sensation during the process, and possible soreness in the treatment site.
