Laser Therapy

At Fletcher Physiotherapy, we offer advanced Class IV laser therapy to help patients in Hamilton, Stoney Creek, and Hamilton Mountain heal faster, reduce inflammation, and experience long-lasting pain relief. This non-invasive, drug-free treatment supports natural recovery and is highly effective for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.

Whether you are recovering from a sports injury, managing arthritis, or dealing with persistent back or joint pain, laser therapy provides a safe and proven solution to restore comfort and mobility.

What Is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy—also known as photobiomodulation or low-level light therapy—uses concentrated light energy to stimulate cellular activity and tissue repair. Class IV laser therapy penetrates deep into muscles, joints, and connective tissues, making it significantly more effective than lower-level laser treatments.

As a result, laser therapy helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and accelerate healing without the need for medication or surgery. Most importantly, treatments are painless, require no downtime, and can be safely combined with other physiotherapy services.

How Laser Therapy Supports Healing

Laser therapy works by stimulating cells at a microscopic level. When light energy reaches injured tissue, it triggers biological responses that speed up recovery.

Specifically, laser therapy helps by:

• Increasing blood flow, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues

• Reducing inflammation and swelling, easing pain naturally

• Stimulating cellular repair, accelerating tissue regeneration

• Relieving nerve sensitivity, improving comfort and movement

Because of these benefits, many patients notice reduced pain and improved mobility after just a few sessions.

Conditions Treated with Laser Therapy

Since laser therapy works at a cellular level, it can effectively treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and nerve-related conditions, including:

• Back and neck pain

• Sports injuries (sprains, strains, tendonitis)

• Arthritis and chronic joint pain

• Sciatica and nerve-related pain

• Plantar fasciitis and foot pain

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

• Post-surgical healing support

• Muscle and ligament injuries

Laser therapy is especially beneficial for conditions that have been slow to heal with other treatments.

What to Expect During Laser Therapy at Fletcher Physiotherapy

Your laser therapy session begins with a thorough assessment by one of our experienced physiotherapists. Based on your condition and goals, laser therapy may be combined with other treatments for optimal results.

During treatment:

• The laser is applied directly to the affected area

• Sessions typically last 10–20 minutes

• You may feel gentle warmth, but no discomfort

• Normal activities can be resumed immediately

For best outcomes, a short series of treatments is often recommended, especially for chronic or long-standing conditions.
