A Low Energy Laser uses light energy to penetrate below the surface of your skin and increase cellular activity.  The type of light emitted from the laser is able to penetrate without generating heat.  Because the laser does not generate heat it does not cause skin or tissue damage.  The increase in cellular activity caused by the laser accelerates your body’s healing process.  The effect of the laser can last several days following your treatment. 

What does this mean for you?   This means decreased inflammation, increased nerve function, improved circulation and decreased pain.  The laser will help to speed your healing process and return you to your normal activities. 

The laser is a non-invasive modality that can be use as part of a treatment protocol to delay the need for or prevent surgery.  The laser is used three times a week for five weeks along with range of motion, ultrasound and other activities given to you by your therapist.  At the end of treatment, an evaluation will be performed to test your sensation, edema, pain and the use of your hands.  The goal of treatment is to allow you to regain the function of your hands and return to the activities that are important to you.
