What Is Cold Laser Therapy?

Low Level Laser technology

Low level laser therapy has proven to be very effective for many conditions that have not responded well to other forms of treatment. LLLT has been thoroughly tested and proven effective in most countries of the world. It is a well accepted and recommended form of treatment in England, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Russia, Israel, Japan, Canada, India, Venezuela and many other countries in Europe, South America and the Far East.  

LLL stimulates the tissues and promotes healing by penetrating deep into the tissues initializing the process of photobiostimulation and there is no discomfort related to the procedure. The light energy from the low level laser is absorbed within cell and cell membranes .A small amount of Singlet Oxygen is produced as a result of the absorption. This is combined with a number of other factors to produce healing as demonstrated in many thousands of clinical study cases. Each case is different and the program utilized varies with the severity on the condition The laser light  aids the production of ATP (energy produce by cell) thereby providing the cell with more energy which in turn means the cell is in optimum condition to play it's part in a natural healing process. The effect is photochemical (like photosynthesis in plants).

Typically, patients can expect to feel noticeable improvement after four to five sessions for acute conditions (not uncommon after one visit with some individual) and after six to eight treatments for chronic conditions. In many instances, low level laser therapy can be a viable alternative to surgery.

Because of the low power nature of low level laser therapy the effects are biochemical and not thermal and cannot cause heating and thereby damage to living tissue.

Laser technology is used as part of our treatment protocols for:

• Soft tissue healing and give relief for both acute and chronic pain
• Increase speed of healing and strength of tissue repair
• Resolve inflammation and bruising
• Musculoskeletal disorders
• Chronic Pain and non healing wounds
• An alternative to needles for acupuncture
• Immune system stimulation, blood irradiation and health maintenance.
• For many other reasons too numerous to mention here
