LLLT Benefits

How does LLLT Benefit Users?

  • Relieves acute and chronic pain by stimulating the cells to produce their own endorphins.
  • Increases the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair
  • Increases blood supply
  • Stimulates the immune system
  • Stimulates nerve function
  • Develops collagen and muscle tissue
  • Helps generate new and healthy cells and tissue
  • Promotes faster wound healing and clot formation by stimulating cells to produce the production of two major healing enzymes. (Cytochrome a/a3 & Flavoprotein)
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Stimulates the production of ATP
  • Stimulates lymphatic flow, helping to eliminate toxins and excess fluids from tissues.
  • Stimulates detoxification within the cell.
  • Relaxes muscles and muscle spasms
  • Re-energizes cell membranes to allow transport of essential nutrients across cell walls (nutrients will not cross an injured or sick cell wall, thus slowing healing) allowing a healthy new cell to grow.

The Physiological Effects of LLLT

  1. Biostimulation — improved metabolism, increase of cell metabolism
  2. Improved blood circulation
  3. Analgesic effect
  4. Anti-inflammatory effect
  5. Stimulation of wound healing
  6. Aids the regenerative processes

The science of Osmosis teaches that no nutrient can transfer across the depolarized membrane of an injured cell. One of the most important functions of low level laser therapy is to re-polarize sick and injured cellular membranes. This allows for essential nutrients to transfer from the blood to the cell, thus increasing the ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate or body fuel). The laser energy is absorbed by metabolically active pigments of the mitochondria in various cutaneous and subcutaneous layers. In addition an increase of oxygen and glucose metabolism is observed. The main effect is an optimized function of the Na-K (sodium-potassium) pump at the cell membrane, an increased protein synthesis (prostaglandin enzyme) and a significantly higher rate of mitosis.

Is LLLT For You?

  • Do you suffer pain from an old sports injury or accident?
  • Do you suffer from repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome?
  • Do you suffer form migraine headaches?
  • Do you suffer from back pain?
  • Do you ever wake up at night with pain?
  • Do you have potential sub-dermal scarring or adhesions from recent surgery?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, low-level laser therapy may be for you. Since the laser can penetrate tissue we have found it to be effective in therapy to the organs. These include movement of the liver, pancreas, celiac nerve plexus (Solar Plexus), urinary bladder, inguinal hernia and prostate by the use of visceral manipulation in conjunction with LLLT. The laser light helps relieve tight bands that may be restricting organ movement.

LLLT is most popularly used for treatment of musculoskeletal disorders however it can also be used in assisting the body to heal a variety of pathologies including broken bones, organ issues, headaches and skin disorders. Therapeutic applications of LLLT have been helpful in alleviating many acute and chronic conditions can be eliminated or improved with laser use, including but not limited to:

Pain Relief Fibromyalgia Symptoms
Wound Healing Sprains and Strains
Arthritis Pain Post-operative pain
Migraine Headaches Tennis Elbow
Low Back Pain Golfer's Elbow
Repetitive Stress Injuries TMJ
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Soft Tissue Injuries
Tendonitis Swelling

Where Can LLLT Be Used?

Low Level Laser Therapy may be used any place there is acute or chronic pain or inflammation. We will not use low light laser therapy on persons fitted with a pacemaker, patients who are pregnant, or patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias or unexplained chest pain or people who suffer from epilepsy. We will always avoid the retina.

LLLT is effective because we can accurately target the area needing treatment
