Low Intensity Laser Therapy

Laser Therapy What is Low Intensity Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy is the use of monochromatic light emmission from a low intensity laser diode to treat musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions and to heal wounds. It interacts with various intracellular bio molecules resulting in the restoration of normal cell function and enhancement of the body's healing process.

Light in its various forms has been used for healing from the time of the ancient Egyptian and Greek civilizations. With recent advances in the engineering of devices and the development of appropriate protocols for effective therapeutic application, dramatic benefits and treatment of many complex medical conditions are achievable.

The Advantages of Low Intensity Laser Therapy

  • Non-invasive
  • Unlike pharmaceutical options, BioFlex Laser Therapy is Non-toxic
  • Easily applied & non-traumatic - unlike surgical procedures it is non-invasive
  • Highly effective
  • Cure rate greater than 95%
  • No known negative side effects

  • Muscle aches and pain


Physiological Effects of Laser Therapy

Chemical

Light at different wavelengths will initiate specific chemical reactions which, once begun, may be ongoing, without and additional light.

 

Thermal

The effects of laser therapy are primarily non-thermal.  Whereas heat lamps, for example, generate hundreds of watts of heat, a therapeutic laser had a maximum output power of 1/2 watt. Nonetheless, localized heating occurs near portions of atoms and molecules absorbing photons, and the thermal micro currents created may have significant effects.

Bioelectric

Laser therapy induces an electromagnetic field which polarizes and orients molecular dipoles according to their charge, causing electrical micro currents similar to those occurring naturally in our bodies.

Bioenergetic / Biological Induction

Visible, red and infrared energy absorbed by cells stimulates further photon emission, recruiting more cells and amplifying the original stimulus
