HIGH POWER LASER THERAPY- (HPLT)
A Revolutionary Advancement in Acute
And Chronic Pain Management

How does laser therapy work?
The effects of Laser light energy have been well documented over the last 25 years. Laser energy affects the body by accelerating the healing process of damaged tissues, non-invasively and without side effects. The problem over the years has been that because of the limited power output of therapeutic lasers, the results on major pain conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, back and neck pain, arthritis and neuropathy were minimal at best.

Why Avicenna?
Avicenna Laser Therapy Centers of Excellence brings to the Brandon and Tampa area the most powerful therapeutic laser in the world. Pain relief from even the toughest of conditions mentioned above is now a reality. Top clinicians around the country, as well as in the NFL, NBA and MLB are utilizing Avicenna’s HPLT technology to effectively treat acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain.

What conditions are Responsive to High Power Laser Therapy?
Arthritis, neck and back pain, tendon, ligament and muscle injuries, foot and heel pain, neuropathy from diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome and TMJ disease are just some of the numerous conditions responsive to this technology.

What does the treatment feel like and when can I expect to see results?
Patients typically describe the feeling of warmth and profound relaxation. You can expect to begin to see results in approximately 3-5 treatments. Treatment sessions can range from 10-20 minutes. The majority of pain conditions are resolved in 5-10 treatments. The results are most often permanent. Neuropathy treatment is typically 15-20 treatments and is typically long term if not permanent.

What can I do to prevent the pain from returning?
Although Avicenna’s technology is highly effective, without correcting any underlying biomechanical causes, the pain may return. Many pain conditions from the back down to the feet can permanently be corrected when the biomechanical issues exacerbating the problem are dealt with. The doctors will correct these problems by doing a combination of computerized gait analysis and expert clinical evaluation to build the patient custom orthotics inserts which are worn inside of your dress or athletic shoe. Once the orthotics are in place, the healing effects of laser become more permanent.
