Spot On: The Pulse of Laser Therapy

A patient asks, "How do I know if I need Laser Treatment?"

Hey folks, I was just talking to a patient and they wanted to know how a person knows when to get lasered. In other words, "How do I know if I need it, once I feel better?"

One of lasers biggest advantages over conventional therapies or modalities is that the laser only treats tissue that needs it. Think of it this way, a flashlight in a well lit room has for all intents and purposes no effect, but in a dark room that same flashlight has a profound effect. The laser has a similar effect on unhealthy cells (turns the power on) and no effect on healthy cells.

Almost every other type of treatment has some sort of negative side effect, but the laser has virtually none. So, to answer the question, the individual has to decide when their pain level has reached a point where they no longer want to live with it, and then it's time to get in and put an end to it.
