Main information

Looking for an effective and gentle solution for musculoskeletal pain? Laser therapy in Bratislava is a non-invasive method that uses light energy to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling. Laser therapy supports natural tissue regeneration, accelerates healing, and helps prevent surgery.

When to use laser therapy?

Chronic pain and degenerative diseases

  • spine and intervertebral disc pain
  • arthritis of knees, hip joints, small joints of hands and feet
  • carpal tunnel syndrome
  • degenerative changes of joints and tendons

Sports injuries and trauma

  • muscle, tendon and ligament strains
  • sprains, twists, dislocations
  • soft tissue damage
  • regeneration support before and after surgery

Inflammatory diseases of the musculoskeletal system

  • tendon and joint inflammation
  • bursitis, epicondylitis (tennis and golfer's elbow)
  • plantar fasciitis (heel spur)
  • other inflammatory diseases

Regeneration and convalescence

  • faster healing after injuries and surgeries
  • post-treatment after total endoprosthesis or arthroscopy
  • regeneration for athletes, seniors and people with physically demanding or sedentary occupations

Who is laser therapy suitable for?

  • adult patients from 18 years
  • athletes and active people with injuries or overuse
  • patients with acute and chronic joint, spine or muscle pain
  • people after surgery who need faster regeneration

When is laser therapy not suitable? (contraindications)

  • current oncological disease (only after consultation with oncologist)
  • use of photosensitive medications

How does laser therapy work?

Laser therapy uses the principle of photobiomodulation – light with precise wavelength penetrates into damaged tissues and stimulates their regeneration. The result is:

  • improved blood circulation and oxygen supply
  • reduction of pain and inflammation
  • reduction of swelling
  • accelerated healing and return to active life

The therapy is painless, non-invasive and requires no preparation. The patient can immediately continue with their daily activities.

MLS M8 laser treatment with robotic head (Large laser)

Laser therapy through MLS M8 uses multi-wave, fully robotic laser for significant reduction of pain, inflammation and supports the healing process and soft tissue regeneration. It is a very effective and non-invasive treatment method that when using robotic head is used in patients with larger extent of involvement, when larger areas need to be therapeutically covered.

MLS M8 laser treatment with point attachment (Small laser)

Laser therapy through MLS M8 uses multi-wave, fully robotic laser for significant reduction of pain, inflammation and supports the healing process and soft tissue regeneration. It is a very effective and non-invasive treatment method that when using point attachment is used in patients requiring local action. It is used for joint pain and other similar cases when therapeutic action needs to be applied point-wise to a specific location.

Magnet / physical therapy

In physical therapy, 2 types of currents are used, and it is up to the doctor to indicate the appropriate combination. Our device allows the use of low-frequency, medium-frequency and high-frequency currents. IF currents and TENS are combined. IF currents are interference currents (medium-frequency) that act irritatingly on neuromuscular tissue. The advantage is that they easily overcome skin resistance and the tissues themselves have great tolerance for small sensitive irritation. The effect of such electrotherapy is manifested by increased blood flow through vessel dilation, improved tissue nutrition, with analgesic effect and anti-swelling action.TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a method that uses electrical impulses to relieve pain. It sends low voltage through electrode pads placed on the skin, stimulating nerves and relieving pain.
