💥What is Laser Therapy?💥

Laser therapy uses light to favor and accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. The laser beam is moved over the skin so that the light energy (photons) penetrates the tissue where it interacts with various molecules (chromophores) that cause different biological effects. It produces a photochemical, photothermal and photomechanical effect.

There are many types of lasers. Each laser has different characteristics which produce a different effect. These characteristics include:

💥Energy: measured in joules
💥Time: Defined as the duration of irradiance of target tissue and is measured in seconds. It is also known as 💥Impulse Duration or called “impulse width”.
💥Wavelength: Pe*******on depth is directed by the laser emission wavelength and the type of tissue (chromophores).
💥Frequency: Defined as the number of impulses emitted during the unit of time (1 second) and should reflect the condition treated.
💥Power: the rate at which energy is delivered and is measured in watts.
💥Fluence: Energy Density or Dose
💥Irradiance (Also known as Power Density): Power delivered per unit area
💥Emission Mode: Continuous Wave (CW) or Pulsed Wave (PW)
Impulse Duration: Duration of laser emission, also called “impulse width”.

Welcome to our Page!

Our full-time Certified Hand Therapists (CHTs) bring 54 years of experience to the table. We treat patients from 3 months old to 100+ years old. As one of only TWO free-standing unaffiliated outpatient private practice hand therapy facilities in North Carolina we are highly specialized and our caseload is exclusively hand/upper extremity. COTHUE is PROUD to serve the residents of Eastern NC as well as those who find themselves relocated to our region temporarily such as military members, East Carolina University students from out of the area/state, Pitt Community College students from out of the area, and local residents who may work/go to school out of the area but are in need of skilled Hand Therapy services upon their return. Not only do we work in conjunction with local medical providers, but we frequently provide therapy services to those who may have been referred to a practitioner out of the area. For example, COTHUE has/does provide local skilled Hand Therapy services for practitioners from Duke University, University Of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Wake Forest University, Raleigh Hand Center, Raleigh Orthopaedics, Emerge Ortho of Wilmington, and many others over the past 31 years.
