Laser Therapy: Alleviate Pain, Reduce Inflammation and Accelerate Recovery

At One on One Physical Therapy in Atlanta, we are proud to offer cutting-edge laser therapy as part of our comprehensive range of services. Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes laser energy to generate a photochemical response in damaged or dysfunctional tissue. This innovative technique can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery from a wide range of acute and chronic clinical conditions.

What is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy involves the application of specific wavelengths of light to targeted areas of the body. This light penetrates the skin and interacts with the underlying tissue, stimulating cellular activity and promoting natural healing processes. Unlike surgical lasers, therapeutic lasers are designed to deliver energy at lower intensities, making the treatment safe, painless, and free from side effects.
