Laser Therapy is a light-based, non-invasive treatment that has been shown to be highly effective at healing tissues at a cellular level.
Also known as Low-level light therapy, Cold Laser or Photobiomodulation, this incredible treatment impacts cellular metabolism and recovery from damage and inflammation.

Clinical Benefits Include:
- improved pain relief
- decreased edema and stiffness
- increased range of motion
- decreased scarring
- reduced injury re-occurance
- decreased recovery time
- faster return to activities
How Does it Work?
Laser Therapy effects cellular metabolism in several ways to provide the above clinical benefits.
These effects include:
- Formation of new blood vessles, providing better oxygen delivery to the tissues and improved waste product removal
- Production of white blood cells, accelerating the inflammation process
- Promotion of a specific signally protein called growth factor to stimulate nerve cell growth and repair
- Collagen production and remodeling, improving scar tissue elasticity and appearance
- Increasing cartilage production improving joint function and lubrication
- Proliferation of bone cells called osteocytes, and remodeling of the supportive matrix to accelerate bone repair
- Muscle fiber regeneration and repair through the production of muscle stem cells called myogenic satellite cells
Conditions Treated
Arthritis
Improved joint range of motion, inflammation control, cartilage production, bone repair
Wound Healing and Scar Repair
Increased collagen production, remodeling of collagen, improved tissue elasticity, improved blood flow to the area, inflammation control, muscle repair and regeneration
Muscle, tendon or ligament Injuries
Muscle fibre repair and regeneration, increased production of nerve cells to the tissue, increased production of vascular tissue to promote blood flow to the area, decreased inflammation and swelling
Nerve pain or injury
Nerve cell regeneration, increased myelin formation to increase nerve conductivity and protection, inflammation control, increased blood flow to improve oxygen delivery to surrounding tissues
