Deep Tissue Laser therapy is a treatment offered at MDM Physical Therapy for its safe, effective, and non-invasive way to treat pain and aid in the recovery of many conditions. Laser treatments work by releasing photons into the tissues surrounding the affected area that is being treated. These photons help in relieving pain, energizing cells, and increasing circulation to the injured area.

Will laser treatments hurt me?
There is always some apprehension that comes along with laser therapy – we always receive questions such as, “does it hurt?” or “is it safe?” It is understandable to be hesitant before receiving a new form of treatment that you may not be entirely familiar with. However, we can definitively say that laser therapy does NOT hurt and it IS completely safe!
Laser treatments are completely pain-free, despite common skepticism. When you receive a laser treatment, you will feel little to no sensation at all. What you may feel is a gentle, soothing warmth from the laser, that many patients report as being quite pleasant. Treatments typically last between 2-10 minutes and patients begin seeing results after just a few short sessions.
What else should I know about laser therapy?
Laser therapy has earned a reputation as being one of the safest, non-invasive treatment options on the market. In fact, medical lasers are approved by the FDA and they adhere to strict ISO standards. Laser treatments are administered directly to the skin, in order to avoid contact with eyes. Protective glasses are worn for increased safety.
What type of laser is used at MDM?
Here at MDM Physical Therapy we use a Class IV Deep Tissue Laser. This is the most advanced laser technology currently available. “Cold Lasers” have been in use for over 20 years with only limited results. Laser therapy treatments with these lower power lasers (< 50 mW) have not provided the consistency practitioners desire.
Only recently have higher power therapy lasers become more common. With the introduction of these lasers, observable results are more readily achieved in a wide variety of patients. Advances in scientific understanding and technology have made Deep Tissue Laser Therapy an increasingly popular treatment option for pain and inflammation associated with a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions.
LightForce™ Therapy Lasers are FDA cleared and are the only therapy lasers available with the patented Laser-Massage® Roller-Ball. These Deep Tissue Therapy Lasers provide an optimal mix of power and wavelength along with dosing protocols developed as a result of research and scientific findings. Our staff have been trained in delivery technique and how to obtain the best results every time.
