Laser therapy in Zagreb
Light energy applied to a small, specific area, used as one component of a plan rather than as the plan.
In short
This is delivered inside a physical therapy session, which costs 70 EUR and lasts 45 to 60 minutes including the assessment. Full list on the pricing page.
What it is used for
Localised tendon and joint problems where the target is small and superficial enough to reach: tennis elbow, Achilles and patellar tendon pain, small joints of the hand and foot.
The treatment itself is painless and takes a few minutes. You feel little or nothing.
Honest positioning
The evidence for laser is mixed and depends heavily on dose and on the specific condition. We use it as an adjunct where it is reasonable, and we do not build a treatment plan around it or sell courses of it on its own.
If your problem is a tendon, the thing that changes the outcome is graded loading. Everything else is there to make that loading possible sooner.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it hurt?
- No. Most people feel nothing, occasionally mild warmth.
- How many sessions?
- It is applied within physical therapy sessions rather than as a separate course. If several sessions produce no change, we stop rather than continue.
- Do I need eye protection?
- Yes, and it is provided. Both you and the physiotherapist wear it during treatment.
- Who should not have it?
- It is avoided over the eyes, over active cancer, over the abdomen in pregnancy, and over areas being treated with certain photosensitising medication. Mention your medication at the assessment.
