Understanding Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy is used for the relief of pain, to accelerate healing and decrease inflammation. When light source is placed against the skin, photons penetrate several centimeters down and are absorbed by the mitochondria (the energy producing part of a cell).
This energy results in the restoration of normal cell function. The main goal of laser therapy is to stimulate the cell to perform its natural functions, but at an enhanced rate.
In contrast to “cold lasers”, which provide no feeling or sensation, high power diode laser therapy provides a warm, soothing feeling.
Laser Therapy is effective for:
- Arthritis
- Plantar Fascitis
- Carpal Tunnel
- Sciatica
- Hip Discomfort
- Neck Ache
- Back Pain
- Muscle and Joint Strains
