While laser therapy is among the most advanced technology in all of medicine, it is too new to be covered by insurance. We have interest free financing for all of our packages. The packages can be paid off over 6-12 months. We can bill your insurance for your visits with our orthopedic physician and nurse practitioner. All other services are cash pay.
