Laser Therapeudic Effects: During each painless treatment, the laser energy increases circulation by drawing water, oxygen and nutrients to the damaged area. These combine to create an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, muscle spasms, stiffness and pain. As the injured areas return to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved.
Cellular Effects of Laser Therapy: During laser treatment, the infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level and metabolic activity increases in the cell. This improves the transportation of nutrients across the cell membrane which initiates the production of cellular energy (ATP) thus leading to many benefits increasing cellular function and health.
Patient Benefits of Laser Therapy: Laser Therapy is proven to biostimulate tissue growth and repair. The laser accelerates the healing process and decreases inflammation, pain and scar tissue formation. In the management of chronic pain, Class IV Laser Therapy can provide dramatic results.
