Primary care providers are often the first point of contact for patients with musculoskeletal pain. Laser therapy offers a scientifically backed solution that can significantly enhance their patients outcomes. Laser therapy is FDA cleared for the relief of pain and inflammation, as well as recommended by the CDC and AAOS. In fact, the CDC specifically lists laser therapy in their recommended nonpharmacological options for acute, post operative and chronic pain.

Primary Care Indications for Laser Treatment:

• Osteoarthritis of joints and spine
• Chronic inflammatory conditions such as plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel, and frozen shoulder
• Neuropathic pain
• Soft tissue injury and bruising
• Acute and chronic tendinosis
• Chronic neck and back pain such as stenosis, degenerative disc disease and nerve compressions
