Low Level Laser Therapy
Laser therapy supplies the body with billions of light at very specific wavelengths. The body absorbs this laser light on a cellular level and transforms it into chemical energy, which the body then naturally uses to repair its own tissue. The bio-stimulating effect of laser therapy causes decreases in both pain and inflammation, and an increase in tissue regeneration and accelerated healing.
Rapid Cell Growth
Accelerates cellular reproduction and growth.
Faster Wound Healing
Stimulates fibroblast development and accelerates collagen synthesis in damaged tissue.
Anit-Inflammatory Action
Reduces swelling caused by brusing or inflammation of joints to provide enhanced joint mobility.
Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation
Reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from: cuts, scratches, burns, or post surgery.
Increased Mebabolic Activity
Produces higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells and thus greater production of the basic food source for cells: Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
Increased Vascular Activity
Induces temporary vasodilation increasing blood flow to damaged areas.
Stimulated Nerve Function
Speeds up the process of nerve cell reconnection to bring the numb areas or 'dead limbs' caused by slow recovery of nerve function in damaged tissue back to life.
Does laser therapy hurt?
No. There are two general types of medial lasers: heat generating lasers which cut through tissue and damage tissue, and non-thermal lasers which stimiulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation and eliminate pain.
Does laser therapy work?
Yes. Laser therapy is safe, effective and painless, with results which are often immediate with no side effects. Efficacy rates in excess of 90% are routinely acheived.
How does laser therapy work?
When laser light interacts with tissue, it causes certain photochemical reactions to occur and stimulates natural biological healing processes, thus transforming light energy into chemical energy.
How long does laser therapy take?
Treatment time will vary from as little as 2 minutes to as long as 20 minutes per session, depending on the condition treated and its severity. We will advise on how many treatments are needed. Many patients see excellent results after just a few treatments.
