“I had to withdraw from the Rogers Masters in Montréal due to a severe abdominal muscle strain. For the next two weeks, I had two laser treatments per day with the Theralase 1000 cluster laser, which accelerated the tissue healing and reduced the pain. In the next two tournaments I was runner-up at the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters at Cincinnati and I then clinched the Pilot Pen Tennis at New Haven. Theralase laser treatments were very helpful in accelerating my recovery time.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Theralase™ lasers burn?
No, there are two general types of medical lasers: high power lasers which cut through tissue and lower power therapeutic lasers such as Theralase™ lasers which stimulate tissue repair.
Can Theralase™ lasers be harmful?
No, Theralase™ lasers used for tissue stimulation are not strong enough to damage cells; so even if they were used 24 hours a day, they would not be able to permanently harm you.
Do Theralase™ lasers work?
Yes, Theralase™ laser therapy is safe, effective and painless, with results which are often immediate with no side effects.
How do Theralase™ lasers work?
When laser light interacts with tissue, it causes certain photochemical reactions to occur and stimulates natural biological processes.
How long does the therapy take?
Treatment time will vary from as little as 2 minutes to as long as 20 minutes. The total number of treatments required varies between 6 to 24 depending on the body's natural healing rate and the severity of the condition.
Will it work for my pain?
Yes, while some patients get immediate results, others may require repetitive treatments before there is a lasting effect. Your Theralase™ certified laser specialist is best able to develop a treatment program specifically tailored to treat your condition.
