Benefits · Pain Management
Turn down chronic pain, without medication.
Photobiomodulation with the GigaLaser is used worldwide as a drug-free, non-invasive therapy for chronic and acute pain. It works at the cellular level to reduce inflammation, calm irritated nerves and accelerate tissue repair.
How it works
A different mechanism than heat, ice or medication.
Cellular energy
Near-infrared light stimulates the mitochondria to produce more ATP, giving inflamed tissue the energy it needs to repair itself.
Reduced inflammation
Downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress, calming the source of pain rather than masking the signal.
Nerve modulation
Studies show PBM can reduce nerve conduction of pain signals and support peripheral nerve regeneration.

FAQ
Pain management with the GigaLaser
What kinds of pain can the GigaLaser help with?+
It is used for chronic lower-back pain, knee osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder, tendinopathies (tennis/golfer's elbow, Achilles, plantar fasciitis), peripheral neuropathy, fibromyalgia, whiplash, and post-surgical scars and recovery.
How does light therapy actually reduce pain?+
Near-infrared light stimulates mitochondria to produce more ATP, downregulates inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress, and modulates nerve conduction of pain signals, addressing the source of pain rather than masking the signal.
Is it painful? Are there side effects?+
No. Sessions are drug-free, non-invasive and feel like gentle warmth.
How quickly will I feel a difference?+
Many clients report improvement within the first six sessions. Chronic conditions typically respond best to a full course of 18 to 24 sessions.
Can I use the GigaLaser alongside medication or physio?+
Yes. PBM works well alongside physiotherapy, chiropractic care and most medications. It is a complement to, not a replacement for, medical care.
