The LCT-1000 Deep Tissue Therapy Laser from LiteCure, Newark, Del, is utilized by 15 professional sports teams across the United States and Canada prior to and after training sessions and competitions. According to LiteCure, the pain relief laser therapy provides and the high-energy output of the LCT-1000 are what made deep tissue laser therapy a component of the treatment plan for many professional athletes.

The US men’s and women’s basketball teams as well as the US and Canadian equestrian teams used the LCT-1000 during the 2009 Beijing Olympics.

The athletic trainers for major league baseball teams including the Chicago White Sox, Milwaukee Brewers, and the Toronto Blue Jays, employ the effects of laser therapy treatment to ensure that the muscle fibers and circulation to the shoulders and arms of pitchers are stimulated and not inflamed during practice and games. They also use the laser as a healing modality should players incur injuries, strains, or sprains.

The LCT-1000 received 510K clearance from the FDA for pain management in March 2007. The laser therapy gives medical professionals a surgery-free, drug-free, noninvasive method for reducing pain and inflammation and increasing microcirculation. The Class IV deep tissue therapy that the LCT-1000 provides is a scientifically based therapeutic modality that allows for shorter treatment times and increased clinical outcomes. In addition, LiteCure developed the patented Massage Ball handpiece that allows for a soothing massage to be delivered while the laser therapy is taking place.
