Summus Medical Laser or “Cold Laser” Therapy can be beneficial for those who suffer from a variety of acute and chronic conditions, in order to help eliminate pain, swelling, reduce spasms and increase muscle functionality. Summus Medical Laser utilizes revolutionary technology that generates specific wavelengths of light that interacts with the bodies tissues, to potentially help accelerate the cellular healing process.

Laser Therapy is proven to bio-stimulate tissue repair and growth. 

The Summus Medical Laser accelerates the healing process while decreasing inflammation, pain, and scar tissue formation.

Studies show that Laser Therapy can help with:

  • Tendinopathies
  • Heel Spur Pain
  • Ligament Sprains
  • Morton’s Neuroma
  • Repetitive Stress Injuries
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Diabetic Neuropathy
  • Diabetic Foot Ulcers
  • Burns
  • Sports Injuries

Benefits of Laser Therapy

Class IV laser therapy is proven to biostimulate tissue repair and growth. The Platinum Series therapy lasers by Summus Medical Laser™ accelerate the healing process by decreasing inflammation, pain, and scar tissue formation. In the management of chronic and acute pain, Class IV laser therapy can provide dramatic results.

Therapeutic Effects

The painless application of laser energy promotes increased circulation by drawing oxygen and nutrients to the affected area. This creates an optimal healing environment reducing inflammation, swelling, muscle spasm, stiffness and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, pain is relieved, and function is restored.

Cellular Effects

During treatment, infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level. Increased metabolic activity within the cell stimulates the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane initiating increased production of cellular energy (ATP). This leads to a cascade of beneficial events promoting the acceleration of the healing process and reduced pain.

Commonly Asked Questions

Does it hurt? What does a treatment feel like?
There is little or no sensation during treatment. Occasionally, the patient feels mild, soothing warmth, or tingling sensations. Areas of pain or inflammation may be sensitive briefly before pain reduction.

Are there any side effects or associated risks?
During more than twenty years of use by healthcare providers all over the world, very few side effects have ever been reported. Occasionally, some old injuries or pain syndromes may feel aggravated for a few days as the healing response is more active after treatment.

How often should a patient receive laser therapy?
Acute conditions may be treated daily, particularly if they are accompanied by significant pain. More chronic problems respond better when treatments are received 2 to 3 times a week, tapering to once every week or two as improvement is seen.

How many laser therapy treatments does it take?
This depends on the nature of the condition being treated. For some acute conditions 4 to 6 treatments may be sufficient. Those of a more chronic nature may require 6 to 12 (or more) treatments. Conditions such as severe arthritis may require ongoing periodic care to control  pain.

How long before results are felt from laser therapy?
You may feel improvement in your condition (usually pain reduction) after the very first treatment. Sometimes you will not feel improvement for a number of treatments. This does not mean that the condition is not improving. Each treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 3 or 4 sessions.
