FX635 Laser Therapy
What is FX635 Laser?
FX635 Laser is a Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), or sometimes referred to as a “Cold Laser” that is used to address a variety of conditions, including acute and chronic pain. Patients who undergo this treatment have the peace of mind in knowing that they can expect:
- No Pain
- No Drugs
- No Side Effects
- No Downtime
Finally, an option that helps you get back to performing your best in a matter of weeks without the use of medications or lengthy recoveries.
How Does It Work?
Low-level laser therapy alters cellular functions resulting in pain relief. LLLT has a photochemical effect that works to reduce oxidative stress and increases the production of ATP, which is used to fuel other cellular processes in the body. Doctors can then utilize this technology to address chronic pain that their patients regularly experience. By targeting key areas, this saves patients from undergoing more lengthy and invasive treatment options.

- The laser is positioned properly near the problem area
