Post Surgical Care

Laser Therapy is a highly effective treatment for post-surgery recovery. It helps to reduce the formation of scar tissue and decrease inflammation while increasing range of motion. This results in faster recovery and the ability to begin physical therapy sooner or enhance the effectiveness of ongoing physical therapy.

The laser delivers light energy units, in the form of photons, to damaged cells. This helps aid the body’s own healing process to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, stimulate tissue growth, and provide overall accelerated pain relief and healing. It even helps with peripheral neuropathy, which is nerve inflammation post-surgery. Laser therapy is also shown to accelerate wound healing (like a surgical entry point) because of the increased blood flow the laser stimulates.

We see exceptional results with joint mobility improvement after surgery when laser therapy is used, particularly with knees, hips and shoulders. We encourage patients to start treatment as soon as they are up and about post-surgery. Some patients wait until they have pain at the scar site or their physical therapy is not moving along as fast as they would like. By coming in proactively, their rehab is accelerated and we see that their range of motion comes back better than if the laser is not used as a part of the recovery process.

Typically, post-surgical patients come in for five laser therapy visits. Depending on the surgery and your body’s response, your doctor may recommend more or less. We do offer packages that provide a discount for multiple treatments.

Christina helped me in my recovery from a quadriceps tendon rupture.  This is a painful injury that takes more than a year for full recovery.  The treatments greatly reduce the pain and swelling.  My pain is reduced and I can move and walk with much greater balance. She has played a major role in my recovery and overall health.” John Linnsen, Salem

I saw Christina Lask for a large highly visible hematoma on my left cheek. She showed genuine compassion for my physical ailment, my concerns, and my feelings. I instantly felt comfortable. Christina educated me on her background, the benefits of cold laser therapy, her top-of-the-line high-grade equipment along with explaining her technique while performing treatments on me. She gave sound advice about my healing process, and with each treatment I improved. Christina is highly professional and considered one of the best cold laser therapists in the Pacific Northwest. I am so very grateful for the opportunity to be a client under her care. Donna K, Salem

I went to Christina for a post surgical procedures to help with scar minimization and overall healing around my incisions. I feel my incisions healed extremely nicely and more quickly, due to using her services and the laser. Her location is very nice, private and easy to find. Christina is extremely professional and is willing to answer any questions you have about the process or her laser therapy machine. She even offered to have a look at my husband's trigger finger to help relax the connective tissues with the laser and make it so he could make a fist again. Something that had been bothering him for a while. I highly recommend her services! Deb Wheeler

I Could not recommend Laser Therapy of Oregon more!!!! I had a couple treatments after a surgical procedure. After the first treatment my pain was significantly reduced. I’m still in shock how amazing I feel after this treatment. With my incredible results, I knew had to tell all my friends and family about this laser therapy immediately. Laser Therapy of Oregon is very close to interstate-5 and is a breeze to get to. Highly highly recommend!!! You will NOT regret going!!! Jennifer Ball
