LASER TREATMENTS

We offer safe, proven results…..with the speed of light! Bringing drug-free, non-invasive solutions to light!

 

Phototherapy is “a therapeutic physical modality, using photons (light energy) from the visible and infrared spectrum for tissue healing and pain reduction” as defined by the North American Association of Laser Therapy (NAALT). Also known as low level laser therapy (LLLT), cold or soft laser therapy, low energy laser therapy or laser therapy, the therapeutic light energy can be produced by either LED (light emitting diodes), SLD (superluminous diodes, or super bright LEDs),or low level laser diodes.

Effects of Laser and Light Therapy:

  • 40% faster wound or pressure ulcer healing
  • Increases Circulation and Angiogenesis
  • Reduces or Eliminated Acute and Chronic Pain
  • Reduces inflammation and Swelling
  • Stimulates and Improves Nerve Function
  • Strengthens and Repairs Bone and Soft Tissue
  • Increases Mobility and Muscle Function

Conditions Treated:

Based on the research and literature:

  • Treats over 65 conditions
  • Skin conditions e.g. insect bites, herpes, shingles, abrasions
  • Arthritis (osteo and rheumatoid)
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Repetitive Strain Injuries)
  • Acute and chronic pain conditions (postoperative neuralgia, fibromyalgia or muscle tension/spasms)
  • Soft Tissue Injuries, strains, and sprains
  • Swelling and edema
  • Inflammatory conditions (e.g. tendonitis, bursitis)
  • Bone fractures and orthopedic implants

Mechanism of Action

Light energy penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the mitochondria of cells of all types. Light energy is converted into biochemical energy, restoring normal cell function.  This process may take up to 24 hours to complete.

Conditions Treated with Phototherapy

Based on the research and literature:

  • Arthritis (osteo and rheumatoid)
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome (repetitive strain injuries)
  • Acute and chronic pain conditions

(post operative, neuralgia, fibromyalgia or muscle tension/spasms)

  • Soft Tissue injuries, strains and sprains
  • Wounds (post operative, acute and chronic)
  • Swelling and edema
  • Inflammatory conditions (e.g. tendonitis, bursitis)
  • Bone fractures and orthopedic implants

Treatment Schedules

Acute Conditions:

Week 1, daily to 3 times per week, after this, 2-3 times per week, 6-15 treatments in total.

Chronic Conditions:

2-3 times per week, up to 15 to 25 treatments in total.

A regular treatment schedule enhances accumulative effects and outcomes.
