Is the cost covered by medical insurance? Pain Laser Therapy is not covered by medical insurance. However, most of the patient's that are referred to us have been suffering for so long that their only priority is finally ending their pain. Because of the fast-acting nature of Class 4 heat laser therapy, treatment times are significantly reduced, which saves you money. You may try submitting an invoice to your insurance company for partial coverage.

Is the laser process safe?
Absolutely. Laser therapy is completely safe, painless, and drug-free. Our facilities only use FDA-approved Class III and Class IV laser equipment. We use successful treatment protocols pioneered by leading laser therapy physicians. There is no pain associated with the laser therapy.

What parts of the body are treated?
The actual points vary depending on the specific problem being treated, such as smoking or weight loss, etc. Pain therapy can be done anywhere on the body except for the eyes and must be done on the skin. No disrobing is required. We ask that you wear loose-fitting clothes so that therapy points may be reached easily. ^ Back to Top
How long does it take?
10- minutes is a typical session, depending on each person’s individual problem.
Stop Smoking: Most people can succeed with a single visit. However, we recommend 2 visits to cement success. There is no additional charge for the second session. It is included as part of the overall package.
Pain Therapy: sessions are approximately 15 minutes. ^ Back to Top
How effective is laser treatment for smoking cessation?
Clinical trials worldwide document success rates between 65% and 80%. Our clients' results are very positive and exceptionally high compared to the alternative ways of trying to quit smoking, such as the nicotine patch, nicotine gum, cold turkey, stop smoking pills, hypnosis, etc. However, laser therapy is not a miracle “cure.” There is always a degree of self responsibility when overcoming any addiction.

Is laser effective for pain?
Definitely, our client's notice improvement on the first visit. Laser therapy is the ONLY form of treatment that actually regenerates damaged tissue. You not only feel better, but you are getting better and stronger. Because of tissue regeneration, laser therapy may help prevent future injury and the return of your problem.

Is success guaranteed?
Each client has a unique problem, so laser therapy cannot be guaranteed. In reality, no form of medical treatment can be 100% successful. However, I do know that if you don't even try our laser therapy, the answer will be NO 100% of the time. Therefore, while we cannot make a guarantee, we will do everything in our power to ensure your success. Laser treatment + education + your commitment = a winning combination! The level of your success is directly related to your level of commitment to change. We will help you succeed if you truly want to!
Smoking Cessation: We provide up to 3 treatments for a recurring problem.
Pain Relief: Results are typically felt between the first and third visit. Some problems may require up to ten sessions for complete recovery. The doctor will tell you how many sessions will be necessary upon completion of your initial evaluation. Our Class 4 heat laser is the strongest therapeutic laser available in the U.S. and gets rid of pain fast! You will notice improvement on your very first session.

How many treatments are needed?
The number of laser sessions required varies from person to person and for what problem(s) is being addressed. The doctor will make treatment recommendations based on your personal history and unique situation.

How is your therapy different than other places?
Pain: The Pain Laser Center uses Class IV 10-Watt therapeutic heat laser for pain management. It is the strongest laser available in the United States for the treatment of pain. Only licensed doctors and healthcare professionals may use Class IV lasers.
This means fast pain relief for you. It is NOT cold laser therapy!
*All pain laser therapy is done by a licensed healthcare provider.
Smoking: It's all about body chemistry and hormone balance. People feel more comfortable receiving therapy from a licensed provider experienced in health-related conditions.
