BENEFITS OF THE

SUMMUS MEDICAL LASER:


01 Pain Relief: The Summus Medical laser therapy effectively targets the underlying causes of pain, such as inflammation and edema, providing significant pain relief for a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders, joint pain, and nerve pain.

02 Reduced Inflammation: By inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and cytokines, the Summus Medical laser helps decrease swelling, redness, and tenderness in the affected area. This anti-inflammatory effect is crucial for accelerating the healing process.

03 Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth: The Summus Medical laser therapy stimulates cellular activity, boosting the production of enzymes and ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy source of cells. This increased cellular energy promotes faster tissue repair and regeneration, speeding up healing in soft tissues, bones, and other damaged areas

04 Improved Vascular Activity: The laser light enhances blood circulation by stimulating the formation of new capillaries (angiogenesis). This improved blood flow delivers vital nutrients and oxygen to the injured area, supporting tissue repair and regeneration.

05 Enhanced Wound Healing: The Summus Medical laser therapy is particularly effective in accelerating the healing of wounds, burns, and surgical incisions. It promotes faster closure of wounds, minimizes scarring, and strengthens the new tissue that forms.

06 Improved Muscle Function: By reducing pain, inflammation, and promoting tissue repair, the Summus Medical laser therapy can significantly improve muscle function and range of motion. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with conditions like muscle strains, tendonitis, and arthritis.

07 Improved Nerve Regeneration: The Summus Medical laser can stimulate nerve cell regeneration, which can be crucial for conditions affecting the nervous system, such as nerve compression or damage.

08 Immunoregulation: The Summus Medical laser therapy has been shown to influence the immune system, stimulating the production of immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. This can be beneficial in supporting the body’s natural defense mechanisms and accelerating the healing process.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS MEDICAL LASER THERAPY?

A Class 4 medical laser is a high-powered, FDA-cleared therapeutic device used in healthcare to deliver concentrated red and infrared laser light for treatment. Unlike lower-powered lasers, Class 4 lasers penetrate deeper into tissues and cover larger areas, making them effective for a range of conditions. They aid healing through photobiomodulation, a process where light energy stimulates cellular activity—boosting ATP production, enhancing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue repair. This accelerates recovery from injuries, relieves pain, and supports regeneration in muscles, nerves, and wounds, offering patients faster and more comprehensive healing outcomes.

IS LASER THERAPY SAFE?

Yes, Class 4 laser therapy is safe when administered by a trained professional. It’s FDA-cleared and has been used effectively for nearly 20 years. The treatment is non-invasive, and side effects are rare, though we’ll ensure it’s tailored to your condition for maximum safety and benefit.

WHAT DOES LASER THERAPY FEEL LIKE?

During Class 4 laser therapy, you might feel a gentle warming sensation on your skin as the laser works, but it’s typically painless. Some patients notice a slight tingling, while others feel nothing at all—it’s comfortable and relaxing for most.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

The number of Class 4 laser therapy sessions depends on your specific condition and how your body responds. Typically, patients need 6 to 12 sessions, often spread over a few weeks, but we’ll assess your progress and adjust the plan to fit your needs.

HOW MUCH DOES LASER THERAPY COST?

Every case will be different because the doctor will need to evaluate many different factors that are affecting your current condition and future healing capacity. Once you have been evaluated, our doctor will formulate the best game plan and present you with a few options that are best suited to both you goals and your budget.

DOES INSURANCE COVER LASER THERAPY?

Laser therapy is currently an affordable alternative to many invasive procedures and is not covered by traditional insurance plans and is an amazing solution for those wanting to avoid drugs, surgeries, and endless steroid injections.

DO YOU OFFER FINANCING OR ACCEPT FSA/HSA?
