Laser Therapy for Pain Relief and Inflammation
Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focussed light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation, which helps to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote healing. Our clinicians provide laser therapy with advanced Class IV laser technology and are fully trained to customise each treatment plan to meet your unique needs.
Whether you are recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic pain, or looking to accelerate healing post-surgery, Laser Therapy can provide relief. By stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, this technology can help manage conditions including:
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Sports injuries
- Back pain
Your Path to Optimal Health
Our Laser Therapy sessions are designed to be safe, effective, and painless. Whether you’re an athlete, sat at a desk all day, or simply looking to recover from injury, our goal is to help you regain mobility and reduce discomfort. Laser Therapy aims to:
- Accelerate Healing: Stimulates cellular repair and promotes tissue regeneration for faster recovery.
- Reduce Inflammation and Swelling: Helps manage inflammation by improving blood flow and reducing swelling in the affected areas.

Your Laser Therapy questions answered
We understand that exploring new treatments like Laser Therapy can raise important questions. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or seeking to enhance your healing process, we’re here to provide the answers you need.
We’ve compiled responses to some of the most common questions about Laser Therapy to help you understand how this innovative treatment works and how it can support your path to optimal health and recovery.
What can Laser Therapy help with?
Laser Therapy can help treat a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, tendonitis, sports injuries, post surgical recovery, sprains, strains, joint swelling, lower back pain, and even soft tissue damage.
Is Laser Therapy safe?
Class IV laser therapy (now called photobiomodulation) devices were cleared in 2004 by the FDA for the safe and efficacious reduction of pain and increasing micro-circulation. Therapy lasers are safe and effective treatment options to reduce musculoskeletal pain due to injury. The biggest risk to injury during laser therapy treatments is to the eye, which is why certified, protective eyewear is always required during LightForce® treatments.
How does Laser Therapy work?
Laser Therapy works by inducing a series of healing responses in your body. Wavelengths of light penetrate the skin and is absorbed by the cells to stimulate repair. During treatment, you may feel a soothing warmth which identifies the beginning of a process of cellular activity that leads to decreased pain and improved blood circulation to the area being treated.
How many sessions will I need?
A successful treatment plan may require multiple treatments over the course of a few weeks depending on the condition and severity of the symptoms. Unlike medications, laser therapy reduces pain without undesirable side effects and many people report long lasting pain relief. Your therapist will create a tailored treatment plan based on your individual needs.
Does Laser Therapy hurt?
No, Laser Therapy should not hurt. In fact, most patients experience a warm sensation during the treatment, which can feel comfortable and relaxing. A small proportion of people may experience slight post-treatment soreness like with any hands on treatment.
Can Laser Therapy be combined with other treatments?
Yes! Laser Therapy can be used as a standalone treatment or alongside other therapies like Chiropractic care, Sports Therapy, or rehabilitation exercises to enhance overall healing and recovery.
How long does a session last?
Each Laser Therapy session typically lasts between 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated. After your session, you can return to your daily activities immediately.
What other services do you offer?
In addition to sports therapy, we offer a range of complementary treatments to support your overall health and wellbeing. These include chiropractic, sports therapy, massage therapy, strength and conditioning and Spinavita Retreats. Our holistic approach ensures that we can cater to various needs, whether you’re seeking pain relief, rehabilitation, or preventative care.
