Low Level Laser Therapy

Low Level Laser therapy is non-invasive treatment that uses light to help cells in the body work better. This light, usually red or near-infrared, is absorbed by tiny structures in our cells called mitochondria. Mitochondria are responsible for making energy for the cell, called ATP. When they absorb this light, it helps them produce more energy, which can support healing and improve cell function.

Therapeutic Effects of Laser Include:

• Reduced Swelling: Laser therapy helps reduce swelling in bruised or inflamed joints, improving movement.

• Faster Healing: Laser stimulates the production of important cells (fibroblasts) and helps the body make collagen, speeding up wound healing.

• Boosts Energy Production: Laser therapy increases the production of enzymes and helps blood cells carry more oxygen and nutrients, leading to more energy (ATP) for cells.

• Reduces Scar Tissue: Laser therapy helps prevent excessive scar tissue from forming after injuries or surgeries.

• Improves Blood Flow: Laser therapy temporarily opens blood vessels, improving blood flow to injured areas.

• Stimulates Nerve Recovery: Laser treatment speeds up the healing of nerve cells, helping restore feeling and movement in damaged areas.
