Laser Therapy

Laser therapy (Low Level Laser Therapy – LLLT) is a scientifically proven efficient and harmless performance used to stimulate injured cells. Laser therapy applies red and infrared light onto acute and chronic injuries to improve soft tissue healing. While treating acute conditions with laser therapy, it is mostly effective when it is applied as soon as possible following injury. With chronic conditions, laser therapy helps reduce pain and inflammation in patients suffering from injuries. In laser therapy, the light source is positioned in direct contact with the skin allowing the energy through the light to enter the soft tissue, resulting in restoration of normal cells functions and allowing the body to begin the healing process.

While a cell is working to repair itself, providing energy through light sources allows for increased performance dealing with inflammation that is present in the scarred tissue. Laser therapy recognizes when the cells don’t have enough energy left to provide effective repair, so it administers increased energy towards the cell’s mitochondria. The end result for laser therapy is to provide a shorter period of healing time, and reduce pain and inflammation throughout the injured tissue.

Overall, laser therapy increases circulation, improves and strengthens muscle function, nerve function, and repairs bones and soft tissue along with reducing pain and inflammation. Laser therapy is known to be a treatment for tendonitis, arthritis, rotator cuff tears, ligament and tendon tears, whiplash, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and many more.
