What is Osteopathic Laser Therapy?

MLS® Laser Therapy is a safe, non invasive and painless therapy for the treatment of pain, inflammation and swelling. Laser therapy can be used to treat muscle spasm and pain, hip, neck, knee and back pain, sports injuries and more.

“I can highly recommend laser treatment. After having chronic heel pain for quite a few months that wasn’t responding to any treatment, after just 3 appointments there’s a significant improvement in my pain levels” – Georgie Clarke

Laser therapy safely and painlessly uses light to help to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling and to promote healing.

“I attended the clinic with a very painful achilles. Lucky for me the laser was there by my second visit. The immediate relief was unbelieveable! After 3 sessions I am now completely pain free! Fully recommend it!” – Rhoda Walker

Laser therapy involves directing light energy into inflamed or damaged tissue to accelerate the body's natural healing process. The laser is placed in direct contact with the skin which enables specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the tissue and interact with molecules within the cells to cause several biochemical effects, which in turn increases cell function and repair.

My pain has been there for a long time, can Osteopathic Laser Treatments help me?

Yes, absolutely. Laser therapy is appropriate for both chronic (long term) and acute (new pain/injury) conditions.

Will the treatment be uncomfortable?

No, Oesteopathy laser therapy is completely pain free. Our Laser Treatments are totally safe to use thanks to its unique safety system. Some patients have reported that that feeling of having the head of the laser machine moved over the area of pain is soothing and similar to a relaxing massage!

Is there anyone who can't have Osteopathic Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy can be carried out on most people including children. However, laser may be contraindicated in those who:-

• Are suffering with cancer
• Are under the age of 16 and the area to be treated is over a growth plate (assessment can be given)
• Are pregnant

If you're unsure if laser therapy is safe or appropriate for you, please call for more information.

So what can Osteopathic Laser Therapy be used to treat?

What happens on my first appointment?

Initial assessment and diagnosis are completed with an Osteopath who will talk you through your condition and formulate a patient-specific treatment plan. Often acute conditions respond more quickly than chronic problems, therefore the number of sessions required can vary between 4 to 10 sessions.
