The science behind your care

Light energy.
Personal care.

Supportive hands during a seated movement exercise

Photobiomodulation puts light energy to work at the cellular level. As cells absorb that energy, it can influence processes involved in pain, inflammation, and tissue repair. Our LightForce XLi is a Class IV therapy laser, giving your clinician the ability to tailor treatment to the area being treated and your rehabilitation goals.

We use this approach for concerns such as:

  • Back and neck discomfort
  • Muscle and joint pain
  • Tendon-related concerns

Advanced technology. Trained hands.
Our clinical team has completed certification through Torrentia , including training in photobiomodulation and focused shockwave. That education informs how we select treatment settings and combine technology with your rehabilitation plan.

The visit

Know what
comes next.

You should understand the plan
before treatment begins.

01

Build your plan.

We start with your symptoms, health history, and goals, then explain how laser can fit into your care. Treatment settings are selected for you and the area being treated.

02

Know what to expect.

Protective eyewear is worn during treatment. A clinician guides the handpiece over the treatment area; you may feel warmth. Tell them if anything feels uncomfortable.

03

Keep your goals in view.

Your clinician reviews how you respond and explains how laser fits with your exercises and other treatment. Progress is measured by your symptoms and the activities you are working toward.
