Laser Therapy

At Sensory Therapeutics of NJ, we offer Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) — a painless, non-invasive, drug-free therapy that promotes brain and nervous system regulation. LLLT is scientifically proven to reduce irritability, enhance emotional regulation, and support behaviors associated with Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorders, and developmental delays.
Through targeted light energy delivered to specific areas of the body or head, LLLT stimulates cellular repair, enhances blood flow, reduces inflammation, and optimizes brain and gut function.
We proudly use the Melillo Method™ protocols alongside customized programs tailored to each client's needs. Sensory Therapeutics is one of the only OT clinic in New Jersey offering Low Level Laser Therapy combined with advanced neuroadaptive therapies like Neurosage, RezziMax, Apollo Neuro, and Vibe Plate — all under one roof.

Benefits of Laser Therapy 

✅ Enhancing Brain Function: Increases oxygenation, blood flow, and energy (ATP) production, improving attention, cognitive skills, and social engagement.
✅ Reducing Brain Inflammation: Helps regulate behavior, communication skills, and emotional stability.
✅ Pain Relief: Promotes healing, reduces joint and muscle pain, and supports better physical comfort for active participation.
✅ Improving Gut Health: Supports the brain-gut connection, which is essential for regulating digestion, mood, and immune function.
✅ Supporting Sensory Processing: Enhances the way the brain processes sounds, sights, touch, and movement, improving sensory regulation.
✅ Speech and Language Gains: Research suggests LLLT may support clearer communication and expressive language development.
✅ Reducing Anxiety and Stress: Activates the parasympathetic ("rest and digest") nervous system for better emotional regulation.
✅ Improving Sleep Patterns: Helps regulate circadian rhythms for deeper, more restorative sleep.
✅ Boosting Cognitive and Behavioral Progress: Clinical evidence shows improvements in executive functioning, emotional regulation, and learning.
“Laser therapy allows us to tap into your nervous system at the foundational level which leads to meaningful and lasting outcomes.”

Laser Therapy Intensives

Laser Therapy Intensives combine daily Low-Level Laser Therapy with customized occupational therapy activities to accelerate targeted neurological progress. By integrating cutting-edge technology with evidence-based OT techniques, these intensives are designed to create faster, lasting improvements in function, regulation, and development.
Who Can Benefit?
 🔹 Children, adolescents and adults with Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorders, developmental delays, speech and language delays, anxiety, and behavioral regulation challenges.

Program Duration:
🔹 5 to 10 consecutive days (depending on the customized treatment plan)
🔹 Session Length: 2 hours per day

What's Included in Each Session:
🔹 Customized Brain-Based Protocols: Target specific areas of the brain and nervous system to promote cognitive, emotional, and physical development based on your child's individualized goals.

🔹 Neurosage (computer software application):  Dynamic movement activities paired with sensory-based games to improve motor planning, postural control, attention, and emotional regulation.

🔹 Reflex Integration Exercises: Improve reflexes that can interfere with attention, motor skills, emotional control, and sensory processing.

🔹 Sensory Integration Activities:
Enhance hand-eye coordination, body awareness, balance, strength, and overall sensory processing for improved daily functioning.

🔹 Breathing Techniques: Develop more efficient breathing patterns to support better self-regulation, core activation, and body awareness.

🔹 Parent Coaching and Home Exercise Plan: Personalized parent education to continue progress outside of therapy, ensuring consistent reinforcement and long-term success.

Why Are Laser Intensives So Effective?

✨ Cutting-Edge Technology: We combine FDA-cleared laser devices with neuroscience-based programs.
