Laser therapy
Low‑energy, low‑frequency biostimulatory laser (LLLT).
It helps reduce pain, accelerates healing, and supports tissue regeneration.
Neurology Mištríková is equipped with a low‑energy, low‑frequency biostimulatory therapeutic laser (PhysioGo 400 C). In addition to high‑intensity pulsed magnetic therapy, we now also offer laser therapy for our patients.
How low‑frequency laser therapy works and how it provides biostimulation
Biochemical effects (mitochondria, cytochrome c oxidase)
Anti‑inflammatory effects
Regenerative effects
Analgesic effects (secondary to reduced inflammation and improved microcirculation)
Additional characteristics:
It does not change neuronal excitability
It does not affect spinal or brain circuits
The analgesic effect is peripheral, not central
It does not influence predictive or inhibitory pain systems
➡️ Laser therapy can help reduce pain.
Laser therapy is suitable for:
Spinal pain (cervical, thoracic, lumbar)
Neuralgia (trigeminal neuralgia, intercostal neuralgia)
Joint and tendon pain, e.g. frozen shoulder, osteoarthritis
Entrapment syndromes (carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow)
Post‑traumatic conditions
Muscle spasms
Rheumatological conditions, e.g. ankylosing spondylitis
Contraindications to laser therapy
Absolute contraindications — laser must NOT be applied in these cases:
Malignant tumours in the treatment area
Eyes — the laser must never be directed into the eyes
Pregnancy — abdominal and lumbar region
Acute infections and fever
Bleeding disorders or active bleeding
Photosensitivity (e.g. after certain medications such as tetracyclines, retinoids)
Epilepsy — treatment of the head region
Suspicious pigmented lesions (moles, melanocytic lesions)
Thyroid gland area
Patients with pacemakers or other implanted stimulators
Relative contraindications — laser may be used with caution:
Tattoos — the pigment may heat up
Diabetes — slower healing, requires careful skin monitoring
Reduced skin sensitivity (neuropathy)
Price List – Laser Therapy
Laser – point probe: 300 CZK
Suitable for:
Precise targeting of small but painful areas when a specific, well‑localized problem needs to be treated. Application time: 5–10 minutes, depending on the extent of the area.
Most commonly effective for:
- Trigger points (painful muscle knots)
- Neuralgias (e.g., trigeminal neuralgia, intercostal neuralgia)
- Entrapment syndromes: tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome
- Painful tendons and tendon insertions
- Small joints (fingers, wrist, ankle)
- Localized post‑traumatic pain
Laser – scanner: 400 CZK
Suitable for:
Precise targeting of small but painful areas when a specific, well‑localized problem needs to be treated. Application time: 5–10 minutes, depending on the extent of the area.
Most commonly effective for:
- Trigger points (painful muscle knots)
- Neuralgias (e.g., trigeminal neuralgia, intercostal neuralgia)
- Entrapment syndromes: tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome
- Painful tendons and tendon insertions
- Small joints (fingers, wrist, ankle)
- Localized post‑traumatic pain
Laser – scanner: 400 CZK
Suitable for:
Treatment of larger areas, providing an even therapeutic effect when a broader region needs to be addressed — for example when pain is diffuse or radiating (an entire muscle, region, or spinal segment). Application time: 10–15 minutes, depending on the size of the area.
Most commonly effective for:
Back pain (lumbar, thoracic, cervical spine)
Neck and trapezius pain
Shoulder, hip, and sacroiliac joint pain
Muscle spasms
Diffuse post‑traumatic conditions
Pain radiating into a limb
Best effect for most types of pain
For many patients, the ideal approach is a combination of both methods in a single visit: the scanner relaxes the entire area, while the point probe targets the most painful spots.
PACKAGES OF REPEATED APPLICATIONS
Packages are not discounts — they are prepaid series intended for patients who require regular therapy. Each application is performed separately according to the doctor's recommendation.
Laser therapy and high‑intensity pulsed magnetotherapy work best with regular sessions. We typically recommend 2 visits per week, depending on the intensity and type of symptoms. The effect builds gradually, and most patients feel improvement after 3–5 applications. Regularity is the key to success.
Package 1: point probe + scanner — 700 CZK
Comprehensive treatment — the scanner covers a larger area, the point probe targets specific painful points.
Package 2: point probe + magnetotherapy — 700 CZK
Package 3: laser scanner + magnetotherapy — 800 CZK
Each of the above packages includes 1 laser application and 1 magnetotherapy session.
Package: 5× laser – point probe — 1,500 CZK
For patients with localized pain.
Package: 5× laser – scanner — 2,000 CZK
For patients with back, neck, shoulder, SI joint, or large‑joint pain.
Package: 5× point probe + magnetotherapy — 3,500 CZK
Includes 5 point‑probe laser applications and 5 magnetotherapy sessions — suitable for local pain, inflammation, and muscle tension.
Package: 5× scanner + magnetotherapy — 4,000 CZK
Includes 5 scanner laser applications and 5 magnetotherapy sessions — suitable for back, neck, SI joint, and large‑joint pain.
How often to attend laser and magnetotherapy
Laser – point probe: 2–3× weekly, application time 5–10 minutes
Laser – scanner: 2× weekly, application time 10–15 minutes
Magnetotherapy: 2× weekly, application time 15–20 minutes
Combination laser + magnetotherapy: 2× weekly (magnetotherapy first, followed by laser; duration may vary depending on the condition and treatment area)
Suitable for:
Precise targeting of small but painful areas when a specific, well‑localized problem needs to be treated. Application time: 5–10 minutes, depending on the extent of the area.
Most commonly effective for:
- Trigger points (painful muscle knots)
- Neuralgias (e.g., trigeminal neuralgia, intercostal neuralgia)

Summary
Laser therapy and high‑intensity pulsed magnetotherapy are gentle, non‑invasive physical treatment methods that help reduce pain, support tissue regeneration, and improve circulation. Their effect builds progressively with each session, which is why regular twice‑weekly visits are recommended. Combining both methods provides a more comprehensive effect and often faster relief compared to using either method alone. The degree of improvement may vary between patients.
