What to Expect

At OrthoLaser, we want every patient to feel informed, comfortable, and confident when beginning Category 4 therapeutic laser treatment for pain. Here’s what you can expect during your first visit and throughout your treatment journey.

STEP 1

Welcome & Patient Intake

When you arrive at our clinic, you’ll be greeted by one of our professional team members. You’ll be provided with a patient intake form to complete, which covers your medical history, current health concerns, and the reason for your visit. This helps us build a clear picture of your health and treatment goals.

STEP 2

Practitioner Consultation

Your intake form will be reviewed by one of our AHPRA-registered practitioners. They will sit down with you in a private consultation room to take a thorough medical history and ask key questions about your condition, pain levels, and what you’re hoping to achieve with laser therapy. This is also your opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

STEP 3

Assessment & Suitability Check

Before proceeding with treatment, your practitioner will carry out a range of clinical assessments to ensure that laser therapy is appropriate for you and that there are no contraindications or red flags. These assessments may include:

  • Muscle function testing
  • Nerve assessments
  • Orthopaedic assessments
  • General health checks

This step ensures your treatment is both safe and effective.

STEP 4

First Treatment Session

Once your practitioner confirms you are a suitable candidate, they will explain the treatment plan and begin your first session. You’ll be given protective eyewear, and the Category 4 medical-grade laser system will be positioned over the treatment site.

What to Expect During Laser Treatment

  • Fast & Comfortable – Most sessions last under 10 minutes.
  • Pain-Free – You won’t feel pain; instead, you may notice a gentle soothing warmth.
  • Non-Invasive – No needles, no drugs, and no downtime.
  • Cellular Healing – The laser light penetrates deep into tissues, stimulating:
    • Reduced inflammation and pain
    • Faster healing and cell regeneration
    • Improved nerve function and circulation
    • Less scar tissue formation

You’ll simply relax while the laser does the work.

STEP 5

After Treatment & Ongoing Plan

After your session, you can return to normal daily activities immediately. There are no side effects or downtime.

While some patients notice improvement after their first session, the best results come from a structured program of treatments. Your practitioner will recommend a schedule tailored to your needs, typically:

  • 6–12 treatments
  • 2–3 sessions per week over a 2–3 week period

This consistent exposure to therapeutic laser wavelengths helps cells:

  • Absorb nutrients more efficiently
  • Produce more energy (ATP)
  • Eliminate waste products faster

This is why laser treatment for pain is effective not only for short-term relief but also for long-term healing.
