Curewave Laser Therapy FAQ
What is the CureWave Laser System?
The CureWave Laser System is a new, non invasive laser therapy that promotes healing and treats acute and chronic pain. This laser uses proprietary technology to deliver invisible infrared energy to injured and inflamed soft tissue, as well as, low peak absorption for Melanin, Hemoglobin and Oxyhemoglobin allowing the light therapy to safely penetrate deeper into the tissue. Penetrating deeper into the tissue, repairs more cells further in the tissue and treats the entire area that is damaged or inflamed.
Who Benefits from CureWave Laser treatments?
The CureWave Laser System can benefit people from all walks of life, from the young athlete who suffers from an acute injury to elderly patients with chronic pain.
What to expect from a session?
The CureWave laser treatments are very comfortable for the patient. Once the patient has completed the diagnostic evaluation with their PT, the patient will relax on the treatment surface. As the treatment begins the patient will experience a warm feeling in the treated area. The provider will continually monitor and check the surface of the treated area, assuring the patient is kept in a comfortable heat range in the Dermis. Since damaged cells attract more laser energy, the area where the condition is the worst often heats up quicker than the surrounding tissue. The treatment is described by many as relaxing with a sense of tingling in the treatment area.

What to expect from a session?
- Your first laser session will include a 30 minute evaluation with a PT. The PT will then collaborate with your laser tech to ensure we treat the areas that will have the greatest impact on your pain or limitations.
- Laser treatments can last from 20 to 60 minutes. The initial evaluation with your PT will determine the length of session needed.
- Your first three treatments should be done consecutively in a three day window.
- Your PT and laser tech will collaborate to determine the best course of action for maintenance treatments if need and communicate those options to you.

Major Effects of the CureWave Laser System Include:
- Stimulates Cell Growth
- The CureWave non-invasive laser accelerates cellular reproduction and growth due to increased mitochondrial activity.
- Increase Vascular Activity
- Induces temporary vasodilation increasing blood flow and oxygen to damaged tissue areas.
- Anti-inflammatory action
- reduces swelling caused by bruising and or inflammation of joints providing enhanced muscle recovery and improved joint mobility.
- Increase of metabolic activity
- Increases higher outputs of enzymes and oxygen loads for newly stimulated cells. With an increase of ATP production by the mitochondiria it allows the cell to heal and repair itself at a much faster rate. The cell uses this new found energy for a variety of key biological processes.
- Enhanced Nerve Function
- The CureWaves non-invasive laser speeds the process of nerve healing and the ability to help repair nerve damage. Neurotransmission is facilitated due to increased levels of acetylcholine and serotonin.
- Quicker Wound Healing
- The CureWaves non-invasive laser stimulates fibroblast development and accelerates collagen synthesis in damaged tissue.
- Reduce Scar Tissue
- The CureWaves non-invasive laser reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, burns, post surgery, strains or sprains. On older scars the laser can also be used to help damaged cells form a more natural growth pattern and soften the damaged tissue areas.
- Enhances the Rehabilitation Process
- The CureWaves non-invasive laser is particularly effective as a tool in the early and ongoing stages of rehabilitation from both injury or surgery, by providing light energy to the damaged cells needing vital stimulation.
- Reduces Pain
- The CureWaves non-invasive laser is particularly effective in reducing pain by causing the production of endorphins, the body's natural painkiller, and reducing reliance and/or the level of other pain medications.
- Fights Bacterial Infection
- Appears to be antiviral, antifungal, and antiherpetic especially with the treatment of areas that previously required topical medications/bandages during the recovery process
