Laser/ Light Therapy:

Low level laser & LED Therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infrared) to create therapeutic effects.  These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling.  The light may be provided by a low power laser or LED (light emitting diode).  Laser emits energy in a form of photons; these particles of energy are absorbed by cells and tissue resulting in conversion of light into biochemical energy.  Multiple physiological  responses are thereby initiated and normal cell function is restored.  This process is curative and eliminates symptoms (i.e. pain, edema, etc.)

Applications of Laser Therapy:

Soft tissue injuries

• Tendinopathies
• Back & Neck Pain
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Myofascial Trigger Points
• Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)
• Sprains, Strains (repetitive strain injuries, plantar fasciitis)

Degenerative Joint Conditions

• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Osteoarthritis

Neurogenic Pain

• Herpes Zoster (shingles)
• RSD/CRPS
• Post-traumatic injury
• Trigeminal Neuralgia
• Fibromyalgia
• Diabetic Neuropathy

Chronic Non-Healing Wounds

• Venous Ulcers
• Amputee Stumps
• Diabetic-Foot Ulcers
• Burns

Research demonstrates:

• injuries treated with laser therapy heal faster
• Laser therapy has a strengthening effect of tissue repair
• Laser therapy improves blood flow & lymphatic drainage
• It is an effective mean of relief for many pain syndromes
• It can improve immune response
