Laser therapy is a technology in physiotherapy that speeds up tissue healing while reducing chronic or acute pain. This non-invasive treatment involves the application of a high-intensity or low-intensity laser to areas of injury or pain. At Physiotherapy First, we provide evidence-based and patient-centric low-level laser therapy in Brampton to treat conditions like muscle strains, arthritis, back pain, and sprains. Our team assesses your injuries through functional assessments and physical examinations before recommending laser treatment to you.
Laser therapy is also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or Cold Laser Therapy. It is the process of applying specific wavelengths of laser light to the affected parts of your body. The laser light penetrates the skin, gets absorbed by cells and starts repairing the damaged/injured tissues. It reduces pain and speeds up the healing of your muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments. Laser treatment is safe and is often combined with other physiotherapy treatments in Brampton to achieve complete recovery.
We also use high-power laser therapy to treat severe musculoskeletal injuries that require more intense stimulation for healing. Our trained and certified physiotherapists decide the intensity of laser light for you after examining your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history and health goals.
The type of laser treatment you need depends on your specific needs and treatment goals. At Physiotherapy First, we offer the following laser treatments for a wide range of conditions, from chronic pain to sports injuries.
Cold Laser Therapy (Low-Level Laser Therapy):
It uses low levels of light to stimulate healing at a cellular level. We may recommend low-light laser therapy for musculoskeletal problems like chronic pain, arthritis, etc. Our mobile laser device is a fully functional unit where we can control all parameters independently. It is a class 3B low-level laser therapy suitable for a wide range of conditions.

We clean the treatment area to enhance the effectiveness of the laser light. You will be asked to lie down or sit comfortably so that our therapist can access the injured area easily during the treatment.
The therapist uses a small handheld device to emit concentrated laser light onto your skin. We adjust the intensity, wavelength and duration of the laser depending on your condition. We move the handpiece gently over the target area, allowing the tissues to absorb the light energy, stimulate cellular activity and promote healing.
We monitor your response to the laser therapy regularly. Our therapist keeps a check on your pain levels, inflammation and range of motion after the treatment. We may adjust the treatment frequency, intensity and duration based on your progress.

Here are some Commonly Asked Questions
No, laser treatment is painless. However, a few people may feel a slight tingling sensation in the treatment area. But that’s temporary, and you will feel better in no time.
A typical laser therapy session lasts between 5 to 15 minutes. However, it depends on the severity of your condition and the size of the treatment area.
The number of laser therapy sessions you need depends on the severity of your condition and your individual healing rate. However, typical acute conditions take 5-10 sessions, chronic conditions take 10-20 sessions, while severe cases may need long-term management for complete recovery.
Yes, laser therapy can help reduce back pain, whether it is caused by herniated discs or muscle strains. It stimulates the repair of damaged tissues, reduces inflammation and improves blood circulation.
The cost of the treatment may vary based on the severity of your injury. We, however, offer direct insurance and WSIB billing. Major credit cards, cash and Interac are also accepted.
Here are the basic steps to prepare for your first laser therapy treatment at a physiotherapy clinic:
Laser therapists guide you through the entire process before beginning the treatment.
LLLT or Low-Level Laser Therapy is primarily used to promote healing, reduce inflammation and relieve pain. As the laser light penetrates your skin and tissues, it triggers a series of reactions, bringing relief to the body.
In other words, laser treatment helps when the natural healing or recovery process slows down.
No, in most cases, you don’t experience any serious side effects after laser treatment. Some people may notice mild soreness or a gentle warm feeling in the treated area. But that’s temporary and wears out quickly.
Class 4 and cold laser therapy differ in terms of power output and the resulting depth of penetration. While class 4 laser therapy emits a higher-powered light beam over 500 milliwatts, cold laser generates lower power beam under 500 milliwatts.
Yes, it is often recommended to get laser therapy for plantar fasciitis when most holistic treatments, such as physiotherapy, do not reduce the heel pain completely. Laser treatment reduces the pain in your heel and arch of the foot while stimulating the natural healing process of your body.
Laser therapy reduces inflammation through a complex process known as photobiomodulation. The specific wavelengths of light used in the treatment trigger beneficial biochemical changes within cells, leading to a powerful anti-inflammatory effect.
