These things are normal occurances in a busy active lifestyle and our bodies are built to repair them. However sometimes our Healthy Body needs help, or the pain is so severe that it hinders our daily lives. When your quality of life is suffering, research if cold laser therapy might be the answer.

  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Plantar fasciitis, arch pain, and heel spurs
  • Achilles tendonitis (and other forms of tendonitis)
  • Strains and sprains
  • Bursitis
  • Fibromyalgia

Cold LASER: How Does it Work?

The LASER’s light is applied around the area where the pain is being experienced. When this happens, the electromagnetic energy within each cell becomes chemical energy. This begins a chemical reaction chain, which sets off the healing process. The cell’s chemical reaction facilitates several occurrences, including:

  • It increases endorphin release, which reduces pain
  • It improves tissue strength
  • It stimulates tissue repair and healing
  • It increases lymphocyte activity levels, thus strengthening the immune system
  • It increases ATP and protein synthesis, which improves growth factor response in the cells and tissue
  • Improves the level of ATP and sets off the activity of enzymes in the cells that are targeted.
  • It facilitates improved cellular oxygenation and detoxification
  • It facilitates faster healing of wounds
  • It decreases inflammation and swelling

It stimulates and helps improve nerve function

Cold LASER Therapy (Low-Level Laser Therapy, or LLLT) is a technique that European clinics have used for over thirty-five years. Additionally, more than 3,500 published scientific papers (on studies) have appeared worldwide, including ones published and accepted by The Ottawa Panel. Cold LASER Therapy has gained a great deal of favour amongst North American athletes.

Cold LASER treatments are non-toxic and painless, and there have not been any reported side effects. The only sensation you might feel during treatment is a very mild tingling. Many patients feel absolutely nothing. Six to fifteen treatment sessions may be required.
