Laser therapy is a surgery-free, drug-free, safe, effective, and non-invasive way to treat pain and aid in the recovery of many conditions. Laser treatments work by laser light that activate the powerhouse in your own cells which are called the mitochondria. Increasing cellular metabolism/energy with the laser light re-awakens the process called normal oxidative phosphorylation occurs. This process naturally occurs in the body however aging, bad diet, high sugar intake, inactivity, and diseases reduce your bodies ability to do this process therefore injuries as well as aches and pains begin to occur and linger. When cells are reenergized, great things happen:
- Inflammation decreases around the nerve which lowers pain perception
- Inflammation decreases also by the increase production of Dopamine, beta-endorphin, nitric oxide, Ach
- Pain decreases by the release of Bradykinins, prostaglandins, COX-2 (a lot of big words but these enzymes do big things)
- Tissue healing due to the production of fibroblastic, osteoblastic, and tenocyte activity.
- Reduced swelling in joints and is safe over metal implants like knees and shoulders.
Laser treatments are administered directly to the skin, but you will wear special glasses in order to protect your eyes. There are a large variety of conditions that laser therapy can treat, including neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain and sciatica, arthritis, bursitis, disc injuries, TMJ, sports injuries, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines, soft tissue damage, and MORE! Laser therapy has even earned a reputation as being one of the safest, non-invasive treatment options on the market!
