Laser Therapy
The Diowave is our newest laser offered here at Health For Life.
The Diowave is a class IV, FDA approved laser, which works to help reduce pain and inflammation in troubled areas, as it floods the tissue with photons, and re-energizes the cells. This results in increased circulation to the injured area and decreased pain.
Diowave Laser Therapy Treatment - What to Expect During Your Visit
During your treatment, a warm laser will pass over the targeted area; most patients say the treatment is soothing and relaxing.
Benefits of using the laser:
- Pain-free alternative to prescription drugs and surgery.
- Non-invasive.
- Safe, FDA approved.
- Fast treatment times.
- Effective for multiple and difficult conditions.
- Scientifically proven results.
How Are Treatments Administered with DIOWAVE Laser Therapy?
Patients will lay on the treatment table and we will position the laser handpiece approximately 1/2″ above the skin, targeting the area of injury or pain with the therapeutic laser beam. This non-invasive process ensures precise treatment of the affected area.
How Many Treatments Are Typically Needed?
DIOWAVE Laser Therapy™ delivers results quickly.
- Acute Conditions: Most cases require 5-6 treatments to achieve significant relief.
- Chronic Conditions: These may take longer, typically requiring 10-15 sessions.
- Lifelong Conditions: For persistent issues, your doctor may recommend 1-2 follow-up treatments per month for maintenance.
The number of treatments may vary based on the individual and the condition being treated.
Is DIOWAVE Laser Therapy Safe? Are There Side Effects?
High-power laser therapy has been used globally for over 30 years, with almost no reported side effects. Occasionally, patients may experience slight aggravation of old injuries or pain syndromes for a few days as the body’s healing response is activated.
How Long Does a Treatment Session Last?
Each treatment session is typically around 15 minutes but may vary depending on the size of the treatment area, the condition being addressed, and the depth of penetration required.
Does the Treatment Hurt?
Most patients describe the treatment as warm and soothing, with no associated pain. Many experience immediate benefits, including:
- Pain relief
- Reduced muscle tension
- Reduced inflammation
- Improved range of motion
When Can Normal Activities Resume?
Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after a treatment session. However, it’s recommended to avoid overexertion for a few days to allow the body to fully heal.
Is DIOWAVE Laser Therapy Covered by Insurance?
Currently, DIOWAVE Laser Therapy™ is not covered by insurance.
How Does DIOWAVE Laser Therapy™ Work?
This advanced therapy uses photons of laser light that penetrate the skin and underlying tissue. These photons are absorbed by cells and converted into energy, triggering a cascade of cellular benefits, including:
- Increased ATP production
- Enhanced respiratory chain function
- Boosted DNA and RNA synthesis
- Elevated beta-endorphin and serotonin levels
- Improved collagen synthesis
These effects help reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and promote overall wellness.
What Are the Advantages of DIOWAVE Laser Therapy™?
DIOWAVE Laser Therapy stands out as a drug-free, non-surgical solution with no dangerous side effects or risks. It delivers faster results compared to traditional treatment modalities, making it a preferred option for pain relief and healing.
How Is DIOWAVE Laser Therapy™ Different from Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold Laser Therapy (also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy or LLLT) was introduced in the U.S. in 2001 and operates with low power levels. Over time, advancements in science and technology have led to the development of high-power laser systems like DIOWAVE Laser Therapy™, which offers faster and more effective outcomes than traditional cold laser treatments.
