What is Therapeutic Laser Therapy?
Therapeutic Laser Therapy stimulates healing in injured
tissues through the application of laser light. Therapeutic Laser Therapy has
a solid track record for accelerating tissue repair while reducing inflammation
and pain. More than 120 controlled clinical trials and 2,500 published papers
support decades of worldwide clinical success. Defined as a ‘therapeutic
physical modality’ by the North American Association of Laser Therapy, this
safe and effective form of phototherapy is used by physicians, physiotherapists
and chiropractors throughout North America and Europe. Also known under various
names such as soft, cold or low energy laser therapy, Therapeutic Laser Therapy
is a type of low energy biostimulation therapy.
How does Laser Therapy work?
Therapeutic lasers supply energy in the form of a directed
beam of billions of photons of light. Penetrating deeply into the soft tissue,
the laser light is transformed into chemical energy within the cells. Physiological
changes occurring as a result of changes in the permeability of the cell membrane
stimulate the body to repair itself naturally. This process of biostimulation
of the cell membrane not only decreases inflammation and pain, but increases natural
tissue regeneration. The body naturally heals itself.
