Laser Therapy in Arlington
Find Relief with Laser Therapy in Arlington
If you’re suffering from chronic joint pain, injuries, or inflammation that medication and other treatments haven’t resolved, laser therapy may be the solution you’ve been waiting for. At Arlington Physical Therapy in Arlington, our experienced orthopedic therapists utilize state-of-the-art laser technology to penetrate deep into tissues and stimulate cellular healing – reducing pain, swelling, and restrictions for good.
Unlike medication that simply masks symptoms, laser therapy tackles root causes like inflammation to provide lasting relief. The high-intensity laser light activates regenerative processes at the cellular level, repairing damage and restoring normal function. Treatments are non-invasive, completely safe, and suitable for most people between 18-65 years old.
Our laser therapy patients often report dramatic improvements within just a few sessions – being able to return to activities they love pain-free.
How Does Laser Therapy in Arlington Heal Your Body From The Inside Out?
Laser therapy utilizes concentrated beams of light to penetrate skin, muscle, ligaments, bones – all the way down to a cellular level. The photons from the laser are absorbed by damaged cells, triggering increased metabolism, blood flow, and other revitalizing effects like:
- Increased ATP and cell energy production to fuel healing
- Enhanced blood circulation for improved oxygen and nutrient delivery
- Faster collagen production to repair damaged tissue
- Reduced inflammation mediators to ease swelling and pain
These cumulative effects accelerate your body’s innate ability to recover from injuries, chronic overuse issues like tendonitis or arthritis, or even post-operative healing. Whereas medications only temporarily mute pain signals, laser therapy resolves the root issues for lasting relief.
Many of our patients notice positive changes after just 3-5 sessions, with further improvements over a full treatment cycle (usually 8-12 sessions).
Unmatched Benefits of Laser Therapy for
Orthopedic Recovery at Arlington Physical Therapy
Our advanced laser therapy system offers all the latest pain-relieving, healing enhancements to get you back on your feet – faster. Here are the top benefits our patients experience:
1. Extended Pain Relief
Our deep tissue laser stimulation stops pain signals by reducing inflammatory chemicals and desensitizing nerve fibers. This relief lasts much longer than medication – often permanently because the root issue is resolved.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic back pain, joint arthritis, or repetitive strain injuries, laser therapy can likely provide some relief when other options have failed. 80% of our patients enjoy partial to full pain relief with completed treatment programs.
2. Rapid Healing of Injuries & Surgeries
Countless studies confirm laser therapy markedly shortens recovery times from orthopedic injuries and surgeries. Photons stimulate enhanced blood flow, collagen remodeling, cell energy production, and other vital processes for mending damaged structures.
Tendon tears, sprains, fractures, and post-op wounds all heal significantly faster thanks to accelerated tissue regeneration. Even serious joint replacements and spinal procedures can be rehabbed faster with laser therapy optimizing internal healing mechanisms.
3. Restored Range of Motion and Flexibility
Lingering swelling, scar tissue formation, and arthritis can seriously restrict joint and soft tissue mobility if left unchecked. Laser therapy works hand in hand with targeted stretching and exercise programs to systematically restore normal, pain-free range of motion.
Improving flexibility and ROM prevents muscle atrophy and repetitive strain. With laser therapy restoring resiliency to connective tissues, you’ll move smoother than you have in years.

Laser Therapy FAQs
What conditions does laser therapy treat effectively?
Our advanced laser therapy system can treat just about any issue stemming from inflammation, damaged soft tissues, poor blood flow, or limited cell metabolism – including:
- Chronic back/neck muscle strain
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Ligament tears
- Plantar fasciitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Tennis/golfer’s elbow
- Sciatica
- Fibromyalgia
- Neuropathic pain
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- And many more!
How exactly does the treatment work?
Each session involves placing sterile glass probes gently against the skin surrounding the problem area. Precision laser diodes beam light at various wavelengths through the probes 8-10 minutes per location, depending on condition severity. The light penetrates deeply into joints, muscles, nerves and delivers therapeutic levels of energy to irritated cells. This energizes damaged cells’ mitochondria to increase ATP production and fuel the healing process. Surrounding tissues benefit from improved blood flow and oxygen circulation too.
Treatments are comfortable, take only a few minutes, and impart no heat or sensation. But their effects kickstart significant tissue regeneration for rapid recovery.
How long until I feel real improvement?
Every patient responds uniquely based on health status, age, genetics, lifestyle and other intrinsic factors. However, most people notice some incremental relief after 3-5 treatments – and more progress with each subsequent session.
To allow the cumulative benefits to build sufficiently, we recommend completing an entire course of therapy (typically 8-12 sessions). Nearly 80% reach their recovery goals in this timeframe, with results lasting months to years.
What results can I realistically expect?
While we wish we could guarantee 100% resolution of any orthopedic issue, results do vary. In our experience though, patients completing a full treatment protocol see excellent improvement:
- Pain reduction: Over 80% enjoy significant (50%+) lasting pain relief
- Medication reduction: 70% decrease NSAID use; 65% reduce opiates
- Improved function: Range of motion / flexibility restored to 75%+ normal capacity
- Enhanced quality of life: 80%+ able to engage more in work, leisure activities they enjoy
Be assured we’ll be transparent about the likelihood laser therapy can meet your personal treatment goals before moving forward.
