Low-level Laser Therapy

Low-level Laser Therapy, LLLT, sometimes referred to as Cold Laser Therapy, is a painless, sterile, non-invasive, drug-free treatment which is used to treat a variety of pain syndromes, injuries, wounds, fractures, neurological conditions and pathologies. Laser therapy is also offered to help people quit smoking and for weight loss. Laser therapy can be used any time a patient needs a non-invasive procedure for the control of pain, when conventional therapies have been ineffective, or when the acceleration of healing from injuries is desired

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been investigated and used clinically for over 30 years, mostly in Eastern Europe and Asia. The word LASER stands for Light Amplication by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. The low-level laser is a light or photon energy with the unique property of penetrating the body in the form of a non-thermal (non-heat-producing) light. LLLT does not damage cells, but aids in the stimulation of cellular function aiding in healing

When the laser light waves penetrate deeply into the tissue, the light waves optimize the immune responses of the blood system. This results in both anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. It is a scientific fact that light transmitted into the blood in this way has positive effects throughout the whole body, supplying oxygen and energy to every cell
