Laser Therapy in Port Orange
Introducing the Erchonia PL-Touch Laser
The PL-Touch Erchonia laser is an FDA-approved low-level laser that effectively combats pain using the power of light! This non-invasive, painless, sterile, drug-free laser speeds the healing process by encouraging cell regeneration; treatments also improve range of motion and decrease inflammation.
Erchonia is the global leader in low-level laser healthcare applications and was the first to receive FDA market clearance for treating chronic pain.
What Is Low-level Laser Therapy?
This therapy uses low-intensity photonic energy as a treatment modality. Light excites the body’s cells, infusing them with energy that stimulates reduced inflammation, cell regeneration, and increased blood flow. Unlike heat lasers, used in surgery to cut problem tissue, the low-level laser does not generate heat and destroy tissue; instead, it stimulates healing.
Are All Low-level Lasers the Same?
No, Erchonia is the global leader in low-level laser healthcare applications and research. They were also the first to receive FDA market clearance for treating chronic pain with low-level lasers.
How Do I Know It’s Safe?
This light therapy is extremely safe, having been proven safe in over 3,000 worldwide studies. In fact, there isn’t one known adverse effect associated with low-level laser therapy and no code-regulated contraindications to care. All Erchonia lasers are tested to ensure safety and are developed, designed, and manufactured in accordance with both FDA and International Standards for Medical Device Quality Standards.
Most patients do not feel a thing during treatment, though some have reported a slight tingling sensation or a sense of deep relaxation after the treatment.
How Deep Does the Light Penetrate?
The depth of penetration is dependent on multiple factors, including mass and density. Low-level laser has been proven in clinical studies to affect subcutaneous cells, evidence that it does penetrate as opposed to the heat lamp devices that do not.
How Can This Therapy Help Me?
A non-invasive, fast, and effective modality, it has been proven in clinical trials to reduce pain, reduce edema, and promote healing. The potential applications are almost limitless. Erchonia has received FDA market clearance for neck and shoulder pain, breast augmentation, acne, laser-assisted liposuction, non-invasive body contouring, and plantar fasciitis pain.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?
This number of treatments depends on the condition and the application of the laser; however, most people see immediate benefits. Just one session significantly improves pain, impacts cell proliferation, protein synthesis, and increases blood flow. It addresses the underlying condition, and results can last until the tissue is re‐aggravated.
Clinical studies demonstrate that the positive outcomes associated with this therapy are immediate and can last many weeks. Still, like many therapies, it requires numerous sessions to resolve the underlying causes of your pain. Treating the point of injury can dramatically improve blood and oxygen flow, reduce inflammation, and promote muscle activation and strength. When used in addition to preventive care, therapy can generate long‐term results.
Why Aren’t More Doctors Using This Modality?
Light therapy is not new; it dates back to 1,500 BC when Egyptian cultures built solariums at the top of mountain ranges to harness ultraviolet light to treat certain skin disorders. Laser therapy has been studied extensively since the early 1960s and has been in over 1,500 peer-reviewed publications.
