Laser Therapy


What is Low-Level Laser Therapy? 

Low-Level Laser Therapy involves using specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate biological processes at the cellular level. Unlike high-powered surgical lasers, Class 3B lasers emit low-energy light that does not produce heat or damage tissue. Instead, they work at a cellular level to encourage natural healing processes. 

How Does LLLT Work? 

The mechanism behind Class 3B LLLT lies in photobiomodulation. Here’s how it works: 

  1. Light Absorption: The laser emits light at wavelengths typically between 600 and 1000 nanometers, which can penetrate several millimeters into the skin. These wavelengths are absorbed by chromophores, like cytochrome c oxidase, in the mitochondria of cells. 

  2. Cellular Activation: The absorbed light stimulates mitochondrial activity, increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of cells. This boost in ATP helps repair and regenerate damaged tissues. 

  3. Reduction of Inflammation: LLLT reduces oxidative stress and the production of pro-inflammatory molecules, aiding in pain relief and tissue recovery. 

  4. Improved Circulation: The therapy enhances microcirculation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the treated area while helping to remove waste products. 

  5. Stimulation of Healing: LLLT promotes cell proliferation and collagen production, which are crucial for tissue repair. 

Common Conditions Treated with LLLT 

LLLT is a versatile treatment that may addresses a wide range of conditions, including: 

1. Acute Pain and Injuries 

  • Disc Injuries: Relieves inflammation and promotes healing in spinal discs. 

  • Inflammation: Reduces swelling and promotes tissue recovery. 

  • Acute Pain: Such as from sprains, strains, and sports injuries. 

2. Chronic Pain 

  • Neck and Back Pain: Provides long-term relief by addressing underlying inflammation and tissue damage. 

3. Headaches and TMJ Pain 

  • Headaches: Alleviates tension and improves circulation to reduce frequency and severity. 

  • Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Pain: Eases jaw pain and restores mobility. 

4. Shoulder and Hip Pain 

  • Bursitis: Reduces inflammation in the bursa sacs, alleviating pain and stiffness. 

  • Tendinopathies: Promotes healing in damaged tendons, such as rotator cuff injuries. 

5. Foot and Ankle Pain 

  • Plantar Fasciitis: Reduces inflammation and speeds recovery in the plantar fascia. 

  • Achilles Tendinopathy: Promotes repair of the Achilles tendon, easing pain and improving mobility. 

What to Expect During Treatment 

During an LLLT session, you’ll simply relax as a clinician applies the Class 3B laser to the treatment area for 5 to 20 minutes. The process is entirely painless, and many people report feeling noticeable improvements after just a few sessions. 

Why Choose Class 3B LLLT? 

Class 3B lasers strike the perfect balance—they’re powerful enough to penetrate deep tissues but gentle enough to be safe for regular use. This makes them ideal for treating a broad spectrum of conditions without causing discomfort or downtime.
