What is Laser Therapy
Colld Laser (also known as Low Level Laser Therapy) is the application of red and near infra-red light over injuries or lesions to improve healing and provide relief for both acute and chronic pain. It is used to:
- Increase the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair
- Resolve inflamation
- Provide pain relief
How does Low Level Laser Therapy Work?
The intensity of LLLT lasers is not high like a surgical laser and has no heating effect. The effect is photochemical, similar to photosynthesis in plants. LLLT aids in the production of ATP thereby providing cells with more energy. As a result, the cells are in optimum condition to speed up the healing process and return to a normalized state. The treatment is painless, non-toxic, non-invasive, non-thermal, and very safe when administered by a trained practitioner.
