Accelerate Your Healing with Laser Therapy in Brampton
Laser therapy is a technology in physiotherapy that speeds up tissue healing while reducing chronic or acute pain. This non-invasive treatment involves the application of a high-intensity or low-intensity laser to areas of injury or pain.At Physiotherapy First, we provide evidence-based and patient-centric low-level laser therapy in Brampton to treat conditions like muscle strains, arthritis, back pain, and sprains.Our team assesses your injuries through functional assessments and physical examinations before recommending laser treatment to you.
What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy is also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or Cold Laser Therapy. It is the process of applying specific wavelengths of laser light to the affected parts of your body. The laser light penetrates the skin, gets absorbed by cells and starts repairing the damaged/injured tissues. It reduces pain and speeds up the healing of your muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments. Laser treatment is safe and is often combined with other physiotherapy treatments in Brampton to achieve complete recovery.
We also use high-power laser therapy, such as class 4 laser therapy, to treat severe musculoskeletal injuries that require more intense stimulation for healing. Our trained and certified physiotherapists decide the intensity of laser light for you after examining your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history and health goals.
Replace Aches and Pains with Comfort and Flexibility.
What are the Types of Laser Therapy Treatments?
The type of laser treatment you need depends on your specific needs and treatment goals. At Physiotherapy First, we offer the following laser treatments for a wide range of conditions, from chronic pain to sports injuries.
Cold Laser Therapy (Low-Level Laser Therapy):
It uses low levels of light to stimulate healing at a cellular level. We may recommend low light laser therapy for musculoskeletal problems like chronic pain, arthritis, etc.
Class-4 Laser Therapy:
This uses a higher-powered light beam to stimulate healing deeper into the tissues. It is highly effective for deep-seated conditions like herniated discs and acute sports injuries.

How Does the Laser Light Treatment Work?
We have trained laser therapists in Brampton who have a solid understanding of how laser therapy works and the right way of administering it. Our team establishes a comfortable environment so you feel relaxed and confident throughout the treatment. We explain each step of the treatment, ensuring safety and effectiveness.
Assessment of the patient’s condition
We assess your symptoms, medical history and health to ensure laser therapy is an appropriate treatment for you. The therapist identifies the specific areas that feel stiff or are painful to touch and hence should be subjected to the laser light.
Preparation for laser treatment
We clean the treatment area to enhance the effectiveness of the laser light. You will be asked to lie down or sit comfortably such that our therapist can access the injured area easily during the treatment.
Application of laser light
The therapist uses a small handheld device to emit concentrated laser light onto your skin. We adjust the intensity, wavelength and duration of the laser depending on your condition. We move the handpiece gently over the target area, allowing the tissues to absorb the light energy, stimulate cellular activity and promote healing.
Monitoring of the patient’s progress
We monitor your response to the laser therapy regularly. Our therapist keeps a check on your pain levels, inflammation and range of motion after the treatment. We may adjust the treatment frequency, intensity and duration based on your progress.

Frequently Asked Questions of Laser Therapy
No, laser treatment is painless. However, a few people may feel a slight tingling sensation in the treatment area. But that’s temporary, and you will feel better in no time.
A typical laser therapy session lasts between 5 to 15 minutes. However, it depends on the severity of your condition and the size of the treatment area.
The number of laser therapy sessions you need depends on the severity of your condition and your individual healing rate. However, typical acute conditions take 5-10 sessions, chronic conditions take 10-20 sessions, while severe cases may need long-term management for complete recovery.
Yes, laser therapy can help reduce back pain, whether it is caused by herniated discs or muscle strains. It stimulates the repair of damaged tissues, reduces inflammation and improves blood circulation.
The cost of the treatment may vary based on the severity of your injury. We, however, offer direct insurance and WSIB billing. Major credit cards, cash and Interac are also accepted.
Here are the basic steps to prepare for your first laser therapy treatment at a physiotherapy clinic:
Make sure the skin area to be treated is clean and free of any products.
Wear loose, comfortable clothes to allow easy access to the treatment area.
Arrive a little early to ensure that you attend the session without feeling rushed.
Laser therapists guide you through the entire process before beginning the treatment.
LLLT or Low-Level Laser Therapy is primarily used to promote healing, reduce inflammation and relieve pain. As the laser light penetrates your skin and tissues, it triggers a series of reactions, bringing relief to the body.
Increases cellular energy (ATP), helping cells repair and function better
Reduces swelling and speeds up recovery
Provides natural pain relief
Enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues
Speeds up healing of soft tissues like muscles, ligaments and tendons
Relaxes muscle spasms and stiffness
In other words, laser treatment helps when the natural healing or recovery process slows down.
No, in most cases, you don’t experience any serious side effects after laser treatment. Some people may notice mild soreness or a gentle warm feeling in the treated area. But that’s temporary and wears out quickly.
Class 4 and cold laser therapy differ in terms of power output and the resulting depth of penetration. While class 4 laser therapy emits a higher-powered light beam over 500 milliwatts, cold laser generates lower power beam under 500 milliwatts.
Yes, it is often recommended to get laser therapy for plantar fasciitis when most holistic treatments, such as physiotherapy, do not reduce the heel pain completely. Laser treatment reduces the pain in your heel and arch of the foot while stimulating the natural healing process of your body.
Laser therapy reduces inflammation through a complex process known as photobiomodulation. The specific wavelengths of light used in the treatment trigger beneficial biochemical changes within cells, leading to a powerful anti-inflammatory effect.

I recently injured my elbow at the gym and was in a lot of pain. The clinic I usually go to was closed and my backup clinic was fully booked. I called Physiotherapy First which was close to work for me and they were able to see my right away. That was a good start and things got better from there.In less than 2 weeks of treatment I was pain free and could resume normal gym activity. I have NEVER had similar results with any other physiotherapist or chiropractor! In most cases it was months before I was able to resume normal activity.Why? First, they have an exceptional team starting with Reception who made sure there was little wait time for me upon my arrival, to the Physiotherapist (Harween Kaur) who diagnosed my situation and prescribed a course of action, and the Physiotherapist Assistants who professionally and caringly attended to my healing. Second, there was a variety of techniques and treatments that were used in my recovery (manual manipulation, ultrasound, electrical wave therapy, hot and cold therapies, paraffin wax soak, strengthening exercises). Most other physiotherapists seem to have only one or two of these (eg. massage gun). Finally, you get value for your money. My follow up appointments with other physiotherapists lasted a maximum of 20 minutes. But at this clinic most follow up appointments were close to any hour. They seemed sincerely interested in helping me recover and less so in how quickly they could turnover patients.Needless to say, I have a new “go to” clinic for my rehabilitation needs – Physiotherapy First. Thanks so much Harween and Team!

This clinic is a true gem! I am so glad that my friend referred me to this clinic after she personally had excellent response to the treatment provided here. I initially went with chronic ankle pain and swelling. To my surprise, it went away just in 2 visits!! I was expecting it would go for at least for few months. Gagan and her team (I think Harleen? ) were really amazing! I can't thank them enough!! I have been to other physiotherapy clinics before, and I silently noticed the difference how they work. I am myself a health care professional and I am amazed how they blend hands-on approach to release scars/tightness with traditional physio techniques. They spend extra time to identify the root cause of pain to ensure they are working on right tissues. Later I also went for rt knee pain, and felt lot of relief. They also focus on preventative medicine and will give tips how to prevent recurrence! Sometimes they run bit late (and everyone needs are different); but when they focus on you, they will never rush you. They are well organized with good staffing-both at front and physiotherapy assistants. If someone is on fence, I would say give a try-You will never regret it!
