Laser Therapy

Jean Santo

“The use of low levels of visible or near infrared light for reducing pain, inflammation and edema, promoting healing of wounds, deeper tissues and nerves, and preventing cell death and tissue damage has been known for over forty years.”


– Prof. Michael Hamblin, Harvard Medical School, Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Mass General Hospital.


Low-level light therapy is based on science; it is not an alternative medicine treatment.  More than 200 low-level light therapy clinical trials and more than 1,000 published laboratory studies have shown that low-level light therapy is scientifically proven more effective and safer than anti-inflammatory medications for a whole range of musculoskeletal conditions.  Advanced PainCare is the first and only comprehensive pain care practice in the Harrisburg, PA area to provide low-level light therapy (LLLT).  Low-level light therapy stimulates cells to create a chemical change that naturally relieves pain, without side effects or adverse effects.  Say good-bye to your pain medications and hello to natural pain relief that is based on 40 years of scientific research. Call (717) 782-6829 to schedule your appointment for low-level light therapy at Advanced PainCare.


 

How It Works


The use of low-level light therapy (LLLT) for pain relief, inflammation and edema reduction, wound healing, deep tissue and nerve healing, and prevention of cell death and tissue damage has been scientifically known for more than 40 years–since the time lasers were invented. Low-level light therapy stimulates a photochemical effect in cells that produces a chemical change. Low-level light therapy is based on science and is NOT an alternative medicine.



 

What It Treats


Low level light therapy is used to treat:

  • Chronic and acute pain

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Low back pain

  • Neck pain

  • Peripheral neuropathy

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Sprains and strains

  • Wound healing


 

What You’ll Feel


Low level light therapy is a pain-free treatment with no adverse effects or side effects.  Most conditions respond well with between 5 to 10 treatment sessions. Occasionally, people experience results after the first or second session. Chronic conditions may take more sessions.
