Laser Technology for Painless Pain Management

dr-lynelle-mcsweeney-reno-low-level-laser-therapyThe pandemic continues, and we’re taking strict precautions to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. Chronic pain can’t always wait, and we’re here if you need help with options like pain management kits for home care and our new EVRL. This FDA cleared class IV laser is offering impressive results for our patients.

The Laser Tool

The EVRL safety stimulates healing on a cellular level. There’s no anesthesia, needles, or downtime – it’s a painless treatment with real results. The combination of red and violet lasers in this innovative design offers unique antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Plus, we can use it to treat an extensive range of conditions, including:

  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Neck and shoulder pain
  • Acne
  • Back pain
  • Sciatica
  • Arthritis
  • Knee pain
  • Headaches
  • Planter fascitis

How Does It Work?

This cold laser targets muscles and tissues, promoting natural healing by stimulating light-sensitive components in the body. It’s similar to photosynthesis in plants, a process in which the mitochondria is stimulated, which encourages the cells to produce more ATP (the molecule responsible for storing and transferring energy).

The laser doesn’t suppress pain or increase range of motion. Instead, it restores functionality by stimulating the nervous system, soft tissues, cartilage, and nerves, effectively resolving inflammation, boosting oxygen and blood flow, increasing neurotransmitter release, and promotion muscle calcium uptake.

The new laser tool is one of many used by Dr. McSweeney here in her Reno practice. If chronic pain is something you can’t endure any longer, we can help. Call today for a laser treatment and consultation, and learn more about our current office practices in light of the pandemic.
