How it works
Low-level laser therapy stimulates cellular metabolism and speeds up healing for tendon inflammation like tennis elbow or Achilles tendonitis. Tendons have weaker circulation than muscles, so inflammation in them settles more slowly on its own.
Light of a specific wavelength penetrates the tissue and stimulates the body's natural healing processes, shortening recovery time for chronic inflammation that would otherwise drag on for months.
Laser therapy is most often used on its own for superficial tendon inflammation close to the skin, while electrotherapy or dry needling is a better fit for deeper structures or general pain.
Treatment steps
- 1Assessing the inflamed area
- 2Applying the laser probe directly to the skin over the tendon
- 3A series of 5–10 sessions for a visible result
Who it's for
Frequently asked questions
How many sessions are needed?
Usually 5–10 sessions for a visible result, depending on the condition.
Is laser therapy safe?
Yes, low-level therapeutic laser is safe and non-invasive.
Can you feel laser therapy?
You'll usually feel only mild warmth, or nothing at all.
Can I combine laser with another therapy?
Yes, laser combines well with electrotherapy or manual therapy for more complex cases of tendon inflammation.
Do I need a referral for laser therapy?
No, you can book directly, without a referral.
Are there contraindications for laser therapy?
Yes. We don't apply laser therapy directly over the abdomen during pregnancy, over an area of active tumor or the thyroid, or in patients on photosensitizing medication (drugs that increase skin sensitivity to light) without prior medical clearance.
