What Is Laser Therapy?
Laser Therapy is also known as photobiomodulation. It entails the use of specific wavelengths of light to generate a photochemical response to help repair damaged or dysfunctional tissue.
How Does Laser Therapy Work?
Laser therapy, cleared by the FDA in 2003 and endorsed by prominent organizations like the APTA, WHO, and IASP, operates by stimulating blood supply, increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery to cells, and enhancing lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and inflammation. This process boosts ATP production in cells, aiding in their normal function and breaking the pain reflex for immediate relief. Effective for a variety of acute and chronic conditions, Class IV lasers penetrate deep into musculoskeletal tissue, potentially requiring multiple treatments depending on the condition’s severity and duration. Notably, laser therapy is free of known side effects and offers lasting results.
