Photobiomodulation/ Laser Therapy

The central goal of laser therapy is to stimulate the cell to perform its natural functions, but at an enhanced rate. In sharp contrast to “Cold lasers” which provide no feeling or sensation, high power diode laser therapy will provide warm and smoothing feeling.

Unlike many pharmacological treatments that mask pain or only address the symptoms of disease, Laser Therapy treats the underlying condition or pathology to promote healing. This means that the treatments are effective and the benefits of Laser Therapy are long lasting.

Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation (PBM). During PBM, photons enter the tissue and interact with the cytochrome c complex within mitochondria. This interaction triggers a biological cascade of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism, decrease in pain, reduction in muscle spasm, and improved microcirculation to injured tissue. This treatment is FDA approved and provides patients a non-invasive, non-pharmacological alternative for pain relief.

Solve the pain from the root.

• Anti-inflammatory: Reduce inflammation
  Photobiomodulation has anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effects and increases the activity of macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes to accelerate reduction in inflammation. It causes vasodilation and activates the lymphatic drainage system, so the edema caused by bruising or inflammation is reduced.
• Analgesia: Achieve fast relief with persistent treatment
  Laser therapy is good for nerve cells, it reduces the sensitivity of nerves around damaged tissue and also prevents nerves from transmitting pain to the brain.
• Immune System: Stimulate immune regulation (ATP is key)
  
• Photobiomodulation has a direct effect on the immune system by stimulating immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. It activates the immune system by inducing the lymphocyte recycling, accelerating mitochondrial synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)- the energy source for all chemical reactions in cells.
• Cells: Enhance metabolism
  Photobiomodulation activates cells and stimulates tissue in targeted areas while increasing tissue oxygenation, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) synthesis (energy creation) and intercellular exchange. It ensures faster repair of tendons, ligaments, nerves and muscle cells.
• Nerve: Improve nerve function
  Photobiomodulation increases the proliferation of growth factors that promote neuronal growth and myelin formation, which makes nerve recover well.
• Vascular system: Increase blood vessel regeneration
  Photobiomodulation provides an anti-edema effect, while angiogenesis or the growth of new small blood vessels in the treated area can deliver more nutrients to the injured site and also aid in the removal of waste products from dead or damaged cells.
• Wounds: Accelerate healing
  Photobiomodulation promotes the growth of fibroblasts in damaged tissue. Collagen is an essential protein needed to replace old tissue or repair tissue damage, in addition to adding strength to new tissue, it also prevents further rupture or tissue damage.
• Scar tissue: Promote collagen production
  Photobiomodulation increases collagen production, allowing it to properly align and remodel, thereby reducing scar tissue formation after repetitive sports injuries, cuts, scratches, burns, or tissue damage from surgery.
• Bones: Speed up repair
  Photobiomodulation can promote osteocyte proliferation and remodeling of the bone extracellular matrix, while increasing the growth of new small blood vessels, thereby accelerating bone repair.
