The Benefits of Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation) on Inflammation

July 28, 2025 By Michael Schoenwalder

Summus Laser Therapy uses Class IV laser technology to support the body’s natural healing process, reduce pain, and restore function—gently and non-invasively.


What Is Summus Laser Therapy?

Summus lasers use specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity deep within the tissues. This process, known as photobiomodulation, encourages enhanced circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports the body’s natural healing processes. The therapy is painless, fast, and safe—with most sessions lasting just 5–15 minutes.


What Conditions Can It Help?

Summus Laser Therapy has been stiudied for a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, including:

  • Joint pain and arthritis
  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Neck and back pain
  • Neuropathy
  • Post-surgical healing
  • Sports injuries
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • TMJ and jaw pain

Why Patients Love It

  • Drug-free pain relief
  • Non-invasive and safe
  • Short sessions with no downtime
  • Noticeable improvement often after just a few treatments
  • Helps accelerate recovery after injury or surgery

Many patients begin to notice improvements after just one session, with effects building over time. Because it targets the root of inflammation and pain—not just the symptoms—it can help your body heal more efficiently and completely.


Personalized Therapy

Each Summus treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs and goals. We adjust the laser’s power, pulse, and wavelength for maximum benefit depending on your condition, severity, and tissue depth.

Individual results may vary, as every condition and patient is unique. Summus Laser Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment, and outcomes depend on factors such as your overall health, the condition being treated, and consistency of care.
