Healing Point Cold Laser of Rochester

The length of a session depends upon the history and severity
of the condition. Treatments can take as short as 5 minutes or
take as long as 60 minutes depending upon the size of the area
being treated.

During the actual session, clients usually say that they don't feel
anything. Low level laser therapy or cold laser therapy is in
reality very safe and painless. Low power lasers do not have
the effect of warming the skin but some clients may perceive a
very slight heat during the treatment. Few clients also
experience a very slight tingling sensation, much like a body
part falling asleep, feeling while having the session. These clients usually have severe conditions.

Initial results can be seen within 10 to 15 minutes after the initial session, lasting for days afterwards. Also, as you visit for this treatment as scheduled, you will be able to feel the effect as it builds up. Interestingly, the optimum results from that completed session will be seen about 48 hours after the visit. Following each subsequent session, many times a whole new level of relief will be noticed.

Also, the results are permanent for acute conditions wherein there is lesser damage to tissues or body organs. However, for some serious conditions, there is a possibility that some symptoms may occur in the future. But it is suggested that a booster treatment be given to more severe conditions.

Depending upon the condition, the technologist will develop a suggested plan for the client. Many individuals are initially scheduled for three sessions three to four days apart. The average number of treatments can be at twelve to twenty five sessions depending upon the severity of the condition.

The only follow-up to the treatment is drinking plenty of water to help continue the process of healing. There are no side effects to the treatment. Some clients with long-term chronic pain, may experience a slight "pain response" which could last anywhere from two to twenty four hours. During this period, it is recommended they increase their water intake. Once the discomfort passes, there will be a notable increase in the comfort level of the individual. The "pain response" is caused by the body beginning to operate normally again - triggering nerves and muscles which have remained stagnant for a long period of time.
