@sunnyflower. No, the laser doesn't hurt. There's a wand attached to the machine and the PT uses the wand to go over the area of your body that needs it. It's slightly warm but not burning. Sometimes I don't even feel it. The PT wore dark glasses to protect their eyes. I'm always on my tummy when they laser my back so I don't need glasses. They basically laser me every time. I believe it helps. These machines are very expensive and not too many PT places have it. I know them bc they used to be my clients when I was working in a bank. I've been going there for over 10 years. They treated me for all kind of issues. Once I had a knee problem and an orthopedic doctor suggested surgery. I went there for therapy instead and they fixed it.
I have to be positive about this whole situation, some days I think it'll never get better and feel sorry for myself which is a bad thing. Pain can mess up one's mind. Thank you for your good wishes.
