COLD LASER THERAPY

Why Cold Laser Therapy

In the United States it is estimated that 56 million individuals suffer some form of chronic pain annually. Often, people with acute or chronic pain (low back pain, a sore knee, or neck stiffness) will quickly turn to over-the-counter pain medicine for relieve.



Now there is a new treatment that has been proven safe and effective by the FDA!

  • Chronic Neck Pain
  • Post-Operative Pain

How it Works

Low level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser, is a painless, sterile, non-invasive, drug free modality that is used for a variety of conditions such as, acute and chronic pain, body-contouring, acne, and appearance of cellulite.

Housed within the mitochondria, the cell energy manufacturer, are receptors capable of absorbing distinct parameters of light. Think of these receptors like any drug receptors. When we consume a prescription medication, the compound is absorbed by the body and it locates a particular receptor; based upon it molecular design, will bind to that receptor. Once the drug binds, a secondary reaction inside the cell takes place. A similar mechanism is observed when exposing the body to a particular color of light. During a laser treatment, the light will penetrate the skin and is absorbed by this receptor within the mitochondria. Receptor stimulation with light promotes energy production, biochemical reactions, protein and growth factor synthesis, cell growth and proliferation and enhanced blood and oxygen flow.
