Our Summus Platinum Medical Laser Rehabilitation Therapy in Chestermere Reduces Inflammation, Swelling, Stiffness, & More
At Vantage Integrative Health + Wellness, we offer laser rehabilitation therapy as part of our physiotherapy and rehabilitation services in Chestermere. This non-invasive treatment supports tissue repair, helps reduce inflammation, and assists with managing pain related to musculoskeletal conditions.
Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also called cold laser therapy, directs specific wavelengths of light into targeted areas. The light stimulates cellular activity to aid healing. Our team integrates this therapy into tailored treatment plans to support mobility and recovery.
Laser therapy can address a range of conditions and is often combined with other therapeutic approaches. Treatments are delivered in a professional clinical setting under the supervision of trained practitioners. Contact us today to schedule your appointment.
How It Works
This type of laser treatment interacts with tissues at a cellular level, causing increased metabolic activity within the cell that stimulates the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane. This increases the production of cellular energy (ATP). This leads to a wide range of beneficial events happening within your body, promoting an accelerated healing process while reducing pain. Some conditions that can be treated using Summus Platinum Medical Laser include:
