LightForce® Class IV Laser Therapy at WNY Spinal Solutions
Laser therapy is a treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation (PBM.) Laser therapy is used to treat acute and chronic conditions as well as post-activity recovery.
When treating acute conditions with laser therapy, it is particularly effective when it is administered as soon as possible following injury. With chronic conditions, laser therapy is used most often to help combat persistent pain and inflammation.

FAQs
Laser therapy treatments must be administered directly to the skin, as clothing or topical dressings interfere with delivering light to tissue beneath the skin. Patients may feel a soothing warmth as the therapy is administered. Patients receiving treatments with higher-power lasers also frequently report a rapid decrease in pain. For someone suffering from chronic pain, this effect can be particularly pronounced.
How long is each treatment last?
With LightForce lasers, treatments are quick, usually 4-7 minutes, depending on the size, depth, and chronicity of the conditions being treated. High-power lasers are able to deliver a lot of energy in a small amount of time, allowing therapeutic dosages to be achieved quickly.
How many treatments will I need?
Patients generally see results after 3-5 treatments. Dr. Griffin will develop specific plans of care based on the diagnosis and the tissues that are involved. Chronic conditions often require more therapy than acute.
