Laser Therapy
We appreciate your confidence in us at TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Raleigh-Durham for your patient’s needs.
What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment used to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and promote tissue healing in patients with TMJ disorders, chronic facial pain, and musculoskeletal dysfunction. By delivering specific wavelengths of light to targeted tissues, laser therapy stimulates cellular metabolism and enhances mitochondrial activity, leading to improved blood flow and reduced inflammatory mediators. Clinical studies published in the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation demonstrate that LLLT can significantly reduce TMJ pain intensity and improve jaw function when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Laser therapy is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot tolerate medications or wish to avoid invasive procedures. Research in Lasers in Medical Science supports its role in neuromuscular pain reduction and soft tissue repair, making it a valuable adjunct for chronic pain and TMJ-related inflammation. As noted in the literature:
“Low-level laser therapy has demonstrated significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in temporomandibular disorders.”
When integrated into a personalised care plan, laser therapy can accelerate healing and improve long-term outcomes. Call today
