Laser Therapy for Your Aches and Pains
At Momentum Health in West Springs and National Spine & Wellness, our clinicians regularly use laser therapy, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment, to ease pain, mitigate inflammation, and speed up recovery for our patients.
Laser therapy, also recognized as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), leverages the potency of light energy to stimulate cellular activity and encourage the body’s natural healing process.
Studies show that laser therapy can reduce pain and improve functionality in individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Moreover, laser therapy has proven extremely effective in curbing inflammation and pain in patients with tendinitis.
One of the principal benefits of laser therapy is its capacity to alleviate pain without the need for medications or invasive procedures. It can seamlessly blend into our comprehensive, results-oriented physiotherapy plan to maximize your outcomes.

What To Anticipate at Your Laser Session?
At Momentum Health, our proficient and dedicated Certified Laser Therapist will perform an in-depth evaluation of your specific needs. Our therapists will review your medical history during your initial evaluation to understand any past injuries, surgeries, and underlying health conditions. This thorough analysis establishes a robust basis for your personalized, evidence-based treatment plan.
Next, a hands-on assessment is conducted, where our physiotherapist or chiropractor in West Springs and National Spine & Wellness will examine and assess your body to identify areas of discomfort or dysfunction. They’ll then perform a range of motion and strength tests to evaluate your current physical abilities, identifying limitations that may require specialized attention.
During treatment, which can be provided by a physiotherapist, chiropractor or massage therapist, a handheld device and light array will be used on the affected area during a laser therapy session. The procedure is painless, with patients possibly experiencing a mild warmth or tingling sensation during treatment. Each session lasts 5-90 minutes, depending on the patient’s needs and the condition being treated.
