Low level laser therapy / pain therapy

LLLT uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with the tissue and is thought to help accelerate the healing process. It is recommended for patients who suffer from various chronic and acute conditions as it helps eliminate swelling, pain, lower spasms and increase functionality. The Photon 3W is the only laser in Canada which is granted this indication by Health Canada.
