Non-pharmacological pain relief is possible.

Low-level laser therapy is a highly effective, well-researched way to heal a variety of medical issues that do not have many conventional treatment options. It helps to eliminate pain and reduce the need for pharmaceuticals and other systemic therapies. Non-invasive and non-toxic, laser therapy has no known adverse effects and can safely treat areas with surgical pins, metal plates, or pacemakers. 

Low-level laser therapy (also known as “cold laser therapy”) is the use of specialized probes that deliver healing wavelengths of red and infrared light to repair damaged tissue. Your cells selectively absorb these particles of energy, causing a cascade of biological reactions. Specifically, laser therapy leads to the restoration of normal cell function.

How does laser therapy work?

Laser therapy works by doing the following:

  • Increases the production of pain-reducing hormones 

  • Improves cellular metabolism and energy (to support the tissue repair process)

  • Substantially increases the production of proteins, the essential building blocks of tissue 

  • Stimulates neurological function and growth

  • Increases cellular regeneration and repair

  • Increases blood flow

  • Improves immune function

In summary, it supports complete cellular healing at the source of your injury or condition.
