Laser Therapy
Therapeutic Laser Therapy stimulates healing in injured tissues through the application of laser light. Therapeutic Laser Therapy has a solid track record for accelerating tissue repair while reducing inflammation and pain. More than 120 controlled clinical trials and 2,500 published papers support decades of worldwide clinical success. Defined as a therapeutic physical modality by the North American Association of Laser Therapy, this safe and effective form of phototherapy is used by physicians, physiotherapists and chiropractors throughout North America and Europe. Also known under various names such as soft, cold or low energy laser therapy, Therapeutic Laser Therapy is a type of low energy biostimulation therapy.
How does Laser Therapy work?
Therapeutic lasers supply energy in the form of a directed beam of billions of photons of light. Penetrating deeply into the soft tissue, the laser light is transformed into chemical energy within the cells. Physiological changes occurring as a result of changes in the permeability of the cell membrane stimulate the body to repair itself naturally. This process of biostimulation of the cell membrane not only decreases inflammation and pain, but increases natural tissue regeneration. The body naturally heals itself.
