Laser Therapy in Green Bay

How does Laser Therapy work?

The laser works by creating an increase of blood supply, bringing in oxygen to the cells. It stimulates the lymphatic system, pulling swelling and inflammation from the area. The body’s basic unit of energy, ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), production is stimulated in the cells helping them have the energy to function normally. The pain reflex is broken, offering immediate relief of pain.

Laser therapy can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation and accelerate recovery from a wide range of acute and chronic clinical conditions. Significant reduction in swelling has been noted as well as tissues are better able to move fluids out through lymphatic drainage pathways.

We offer two different types of laser therapy at Inspirit Therapy

Cold Laser

We use cold laser therapy to treat both acute and chronic pain. Using a low-power laser, we stimulate healing in tissues. This is safe and effective for certain types of pain. Ask your therapist if it’s right for you.

High Intensity Laser Therapy

Our practice is proud to offer a high intensity laser therapy modality, using LightForce Therapy Lasers. The laser is used to target deep tissues, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. This treatment doesn’t require surgery or drugs, and it is a painless procedure. When used in conjunction with soft-issue and manual modalities, high intensity laser therapy can help improve effectiveness, decrease myofascial pain, and increase mobility. Laser therapy is on the cutting-edge of physical therapy treatment and offers an innovative approach to conditions such as:

Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Neuralgia, Neck & Back Pain, Knee & Ankle Pain, Sciatica, Sprains & Strains, Soft-Tissue Injuries, Tendonitis, Sports Injuries, Carpal Tunnel, Tennis Elbow, Plantar Fasciitis, And Many More!

What makes these high-intensity lasers so effective? They have a high power output that allows them to penetrate far below the skin. This means they can target tissues deep within the body for improved healing, drastically cutting down on treatment time and benefitting even severe conditions. Patients experience improved mobility, decreased pain, and increased function, faster.
