Cold
Laser Therapy- State of the Art Technology ↑ top
FDA Approved Cold Laser Therapy - Cold Low Level Laser Therapy,
or LLLT, is a clinically proven non-surgical treatment for common
conditions experienced by women during pregnancy and after birth.
For pre-natal patients, cold laser therapy is a bio-stimualtor
that enhances the body’s natural healing process by decreasing
inflamamtion, improving nerve function and increasing endorphin
production, relieving pain without medications.
In the post-partum period, LLLT helps to relieve pain from perineal
tears, C-Section, & episiotomy. It also stimulates collagen
synthesis, preventing keloid, or raised scars. For more information

For pre-natal patients, the Biofeedback technology is a great
tool to help determine which labor positions are optimal for pelvic
floor muscle relaxation. We also use Biofeedback to teach women
how to release and relax the pelvic floor muscles for labor and
delivery.
For post-natal women, Biofeedback is an
effective and painless method for treatment of pelvic-floor muscle
(PFM) dysfunction, such as all types of incontinence, organ prolapse,
and pelvic pain conditions like dysparenuria (pain with intercourse)
and vulvodynia. For more information on Biofeedback technology
