HILT Quick Facts

First of all, it’s important that we get started by helping you to understanding what exactly we mean by High Intensity Laser Therapy.

Don’t get fooled by the “high intensity” part of the name — this is actually a non-invasive, completely safe, and virtually pain-free treatment designed to provide lasting chronic pain relief.

High Intensity Laser Therapy gets its name from the lasers that are used in the treatment, which are designed to deliver light energy to the body’s cells (which then convert that light energy into chemical energy, which fuels cell growth and healing).

It’s important to know that not all “high intensity” lasers are created equally. The lasers used in our clinic are 10 to 100’s of time more powerful than other lasers, reaching deeper into the cells of the body. This, combined with our understanding of chronic pain and progressive, manual therapies provide better outcomes and longer-lasting results for many of our patients.

What Does It Feel Like?

Most patients describe High Intensity Laser Therapy to be relaxing and therapeutic. That’s because the lasers themselves emit a warm, penetrating light which tends to be soothing to many patients.

It is certainly not painful or invasive, which is one of the biggest advantages you can find from a chronic pain relief treatment.

While High Intensity Laser Therapy is not a “one-off” treatment, some patients do say that they can feel its effects in as little as one treatment. However, in order to receive maximum benefit patients are scheduled for a series of treatments.

How Does Laser Therapy Help?

High Intensity Laser Therapy has been and will continue to be one of the most reliable and innovative treatments for chronic pain relief. That’s because it is known to have many benefits, which include:

• Tissue Repair: The light energy from the lasers penetrates through bone, tissue, and cells in order to promote DNA and RNA repairs within the cells themselves. That means that damaged muscles, nerves, and ligaments, and other areas are healed faster.
• Soften Scar Tissue: This is one of the biggest benefits of High Intensity Laser Therapy. Scar tissue is one of the biggest sources of chronic pain, largely because it is significantly weaker and more sensitive to pain. Laser therapy can soften this scar tissue to make it less prone to pain and more flexible.
• Reduce Swelling: High Intensity Laser Therapy treatments also have anti-inflammatory effects because of their ability to promote the expansion of blood vessels. This also promotes and improves blood flow and allows the body to deliver more oxygen and vital nutrients to the affected area, thus promoting healing.
• Pain Relief: Laser therapy increases the production of natural pain-killing endorphins and enkephalins while also resetting the chronic pain cycle.
