Low-level laser therapy
Laser therapy is the use of light from a Low Intensity Laser Diode or an array of Superluminous Diodes to eliminate pain, accelerate healing and decrease inflammation. LLLT is also known as cold laser, low intensity laser therapy or photobiomodulation.
Laser therapy does not heat or cut tissue, unlike high intensity lasers. Many pharmacological treatments mask pain or only address the symptoms of the disease; laser therapy treats the underlying condition or pathology to promote healing. This means that the treatments are effective and the benefits of laser therapy are long lasting.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy offers patients a safe and effective therapy for a wide range of medical conditions, including soft tissue and sports injuries, arthritic conditions, repetitive stress injuries, wound healing and a variety of general health problems.
Clinical Benefits
- Eliminates pain
- Reduces the need for pharmaceuticals
- Restores normal range of motion and physical function
- Non-invasive
- Non-toxic
- No known adverse effects
- No drug interactions
- Often makes surgical interventions unnecessary
- Provides a treatment alternative for patients that have not responded to conventional therapies
Physiological Effects
- Increased production and release of:
- Endorphins – natural analgesics
- Cortisol – precursor of cortisone
- Growth hormone – instrumental in tissue repair
- ATP – improves and regulates cellular metabolism
- Increased protein synthesis – collagen, DNA, fibroblasts
- Venous and lymphatic flow facilitated
- Increased angiogenesis – elevation of oxygen saturation
- Enhanced immune response, etc.
At Everyday Brain Fitness and Bioflex Laser, no diagnosis is given. Clients fill out a wellness questionnaire and explain concerns. Based on collected information, therapist recommends a specific course of low-level therapy using scientific protocols from evidence based case studies. “…When pathologies concerning the cerebrospinal fluid are prevalent, LLLT can contribute substantially to the restoration and maintenance of brain health.”
