At Spine and Joint Institute of Milwaukee, our care team utilizes cutting-edge medical technology to provide exceptional pain relief and aid in our patient's recovery. As technology advances daily, surgical interventions are increasingly being supplemented or replaced by innovative alternatives. Among these, Medical Laser Technology is a leading choice for addressing acute and chronic pain.
While medical lasers have been utilized for various medical purposes, such as cancer treatment and aesthetic procedures, laser therapy has emerged as a pioneering approach for managing neuromuscular pain. Embraced by many types of medical professionals, including MDs, DCs, and DOs, laser therapy has demonstrated notable efficacy in relieving pain and promoting tissue healing.
At Spine and Joint Institute of Milwaukee, we prioritize quality and safety by investing in state-of-the-art laser systems and ensuring the certification of our medical team. Our commitment lies in providing a safe, painless, and effective treatment experience that results in significant pain reduction and improved patient well-being.
Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation therapy, is a noninvasive medical treatment that uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate cellular function. Unlike surgical lasers, which generate heat and cut tissue, cold lasers emit low light energy levels that do not produce heat and are therefore referred to as "cold."
During cold laser therapy, specific wavelengths of light are applied to the affected area of the body. These photons of light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by cells, stimulating cellular metabolism and promoting various biological processes. This stimulation can lead to increased cellular energy production, improved blood circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced tissue repair.
Laser therapy, a noninvasive modality, offers a promising solution for pain and inflammation reduction without the need for pharmaceuticals or invasive procedures. FDA-cleared and endorsed as a viable alternative to traditional interventions, laser therapy sessions typically last between five and ten minutes. They deliver targeted relief through the precise application of laser energy to the skin. Patients can expect a soothing warmth during a treatment, signaling the initiation of a cellular healing process that extends over the next 18 to 24 hours, ultimately leading to decreased pain and inflammation.
At Spine and Joint Institute of Milwaukee, we exclusively utilize FDA-cleared medical devices, adhering to strict ISO standards to ensure the safety and efficacy of our treatments. Our Class IV Medical Lite-Laser systems from LiteCure Medical represent the pinnacle of non-invasive treatment options, providing a powerful yet safe alternative to conventional approaches. These advanced laser systems offer deeper tissue penetration, making them particularly effective for addressing conditions such as lumbar disc injuries, rotator cuff tears, and sciatica.
Medical Laser-Light Therapy, or MLLT, offers versatile applications in treating a wide range of conditions commonly encountered at Spine and Joint Institute of Milwaukee. Laser therapy has demonstrated remarkable success across several medical conditions. These include:
