Cold Laser Therapy
The laser supplies billions of photons of light at very specific wavelengths, cells absorb this light and transform it into chemical energy, which the body uses to naturally repair itself. Laser therapy accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and can elimination pain. There are many applications for this treatment, some examples are: headaches, arthritis, lymphedema, post herpetic pain, lumbar arthrosis, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, wound healing, sprains, and strains. It is non-invasive, safe, and effective.
Mechanisms of Action
Light is converted to chemical energy in mitochondria and used for tissue repair
Circulation is stimulated which reduces inflammation and brings oxygen to tissues
Re-balances the chemical ions in neurons which are associated with pain transmission and therefore removes the pain signal
Benefits
Return to normal activities of daily living faster by promoting faster healing
Increases tissue oxygen saturation
Increases collagen production
Increases muscle generation and decreases muscle breakdown
Decreases inflammation, swelling, and pain
Increases cartilage production
Increases circulation and nutrients for healing
Stimulates skin growth and decreases scar tissue formation
Improves recovery and functional activity of injured nerves
