Deep Tissue Laser Therapy in St. Louis, MO
Heal Faster Without Drugs or Surgery
When pain or injury keeps you from living life fully, deep tissue laser therapy can help your body heal faster and reduce your discomfort safely and naturally. This noninvasive treatment works at the cellular level to speed tissue repair, ease inflammation, and relieve pain, so you can get back to the activities you love.
Dr Dusty offers deep tissue laser therapy to provide patients with the fastest healing and recovery from pain. His goal is always to improve patients’ function while helping them avoid medications or the need for surgery, and deep tissue laser therapy is another effective tool he can use to achieve that goal.
What Is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy?
Deep tissue laser therapy uses concentrated light energy to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. It enhances cell function and circulation while reducing pain and swelling, helping injured tissues repair themselves more quickly.
Dustan Mattingly (“Dr. Dusty”) often integrates this therapy into treatment plans to help patients recover faster and avoid pain medications or surgery.
How Does Deep Tissue Laser Therapy Work?
This remarkable laser treatment acts on a cellular level to speed healing in all these ways:
- Increases the production of cellular factors that ease pain and reduce inflammation
- Enhances the ability of the cells to make more of the materials needed to repair their structure
- Improves circulation, which means a better blood supply to an injured area
- Encourages your body to produce beta-endorphins, your body’s own natural painkiller and stress reliever
- Promotes the production of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins, which speed up tissue healing.
- Boosts ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which provides the energy source cells need to heal and reduce inflammation
What Is Treatment with a Deep Tissue Laser Therapy Like?
Treatments are fast, safe and painless. Dr. Dusty uses a handheld device that emits the red laser light, which he will repeatedly pass over the painful or injured area of your body. You may feel some warming of the skin during your treatment.
Most patients notice pain relief within three to five sessions, and results often last longer with each additional treatment.
