How laser therapy helps:
Soothes knee osteoarthritis
Cold laser treatments lead to significant pain relief evident from 1-3 months after the end of therapy. Significant improvements in knee flexion and quality of life are also seen after cold laser therapy.
Clinically proven for neck pain
Cold laser reduces pain immediately after treatment for acute neck pain and lasts up to 22 weeks after treatment at our Sunshine Coast clinic in patients with chronic neck pain.
Muscle fatigue recovery
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) occurs after doing a new or unusual exercise. Applying cold laser gives athletes significant relief and recovery from DOMS.
Ankle sprain swelling relief
Cold laser treatments have been used for over a decade on sports injuries. A study found swelling from an ankle sprain reduced 44% more with cold laser compared to ice therapy alone.
Back and leg pain responds
Patients who had cold laser on their low back and leg gained the best results (56% improvement) compared to those taking anti-inflammatory drugs (23% improvement).
The Science of Multi Radiance Medical Laser Therapy
How it works…
Low energies of laser light affects the natural and basic mechanism of our cells and restores their function, thereby triggering a cascade of positive effects. Some of these lead to improved wound-healing, reduction of oedema or swelling, healing of neurological injuries, increased mirco-circulation, and pain relief. More than 2000 references are cited in ‘The New Laser Therapy Handbook’ by Turner and Hode.

Laser Therapy
How It Works:
At Mobile Allied Health, we like to keep our clients informed on each procedure.
When cold laser (also known as low level laser therapy) is placed over injured or sick cells, light energy is absorbed. This stimulates the damaged cells to increase their energy production, which is used to transform the damaged cells back to healthy active cells.

What results can I expect from cold laser?
Many people experience significant relief after only 4-6 treatments of cold laser therapy. Depending on the severity of the injury, complete tissue repair can take up to 12-15 visits to our clinic on the Sunshine Coast.
Are there any possible side-effects?
Some people do feel a slight tingling over the area being treated. If you have had a condition for more than twelve months, you may experience a temporary increase in your symptoms including tiredness, stiffness, mild headache or nausea.
Is cold laser therapy safe?
Yes. Cold laser was discovered in 1967 and has been used for over 40 years with no documented serious adverse effects.
Cold laser therapy targets scar tissue and ‘softens’ these fibrotic nodules. This can restore local circulation, allowing nerves to regenerate for a more complete recovery.
Cold laser boosts oxygen levels
Sick or injured cells demand more oxygen to get healthy again. Cold laser therapy over blood vessels has been shown to release more oxygen to damaged tissues similar to a hyperbaric chamber effect.
Cold laser activates natural pain relievers
Cold laser can stimulate parts of the brain to produce its natural pain relievers (endorphins) and may activate the relaxation response (parasympathetics) improving total body blood flow.
Cold laser reduces swelling and inflammation
When muscles and ligaments are injured, inflammatory chemicals cause swelling and pain. Applying cold laser to your body’s lymphatic drainage system may move inflammation out and back into circulation.
Cold laser speeds the healing response
Cold laser has shown to reduce formation of scar tissue, leading to more complete healing, with less chance of weakness and re-injury later.
