Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted light energy to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation and relieve pain. At Fit2Function Clinic in Oxford Circus, we use advanced low-level laser technology to treat a range of musculoskeletal issues, from tendon injuries and joint pain to nerve irritation. Safe, pain-free and effective laser therapy is ideal for those seeking fast recovery with minimal discomfort or downtime.
What Is Laser Therapy Treatment?
Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy, is a clinically proven treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular repair and tissue regeneration. It works by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and accelerating the healing process at a cellular level. Unlike surgical lasers, LLLT doesn’t produce heat or damage tissue, making it a safe and pain-free option for injury recovery and pain management. At our Oxford Circus clinic, we use this advanced technology as part of integrated care plans to support natural healing without the need for invasive procedures or medication.
Who Typically Benefits From Laser Therapy Treatment?
Laser therapy is ideal for individuals dealing with soft tissue injuries, joint pain, nerve irritation and chronic inflammation. It’s commonly used to treat tendonitis, bursitis, sprains and strains, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, sciatica and post-surgical pain. Athletes use it to speed up recovery, while others benefit from its ability to ease stubborn pain or swelling that hasn’t responded to manual therapy alone. At Fit2Function in Oxford Circus, we frequently recommend laser therapy to support faster recovery from both acute injuries and chronic conditions, especially when inflammation or nerve pain is present. It’s also helpful for clients looking to avoid more invasive options or reduce their reliance on painkillers.
What Does Laser Therapy Treatment Involve?
A typical laser therapy session is quick, pain-free and non-invasive. After identifying the treatment area, your therapist will apply a small handheld laser device to the skin. The laser emits a controlled beam of light at a therapeutic wavelength, which penetrates the tissues and stimulates healing. You may feel a gentle warmth, but most clients feel little to no sensation during the session. Each treatment takes around 10–20 minutes and requires no downtime. At our Oxford Circus clinic we normally combine laser therapy with Physiotherapy, shockwave therapy & rehabilitation exercises to support overall recovery and achieve faster, long lasting results.
Benefits And Outcomes Of Laser Therapy Treatment Treatment
The key benefits of laser therapy include faster tissue repair, reduced inflammation, improved circulation and effective pain relief. All without medication or invasive procedures such as surgery or injections. Clients often notice a reduction in swelling, improved range of motion and a quicker return to activity following injury. Laser therapy can also speed up post operative healing and help manage chronic pain conditions like arthritis or nerve irritation. At Fit2Function Oxford Circus, we use laser therapy to enhance the results of other treatments and support our clients in reaching their recovery goals safely and efficiently. It’s an excellent option for those seeking a modern, low impact therapy that works with the body’s natural healing process.
