Laser Therapy is also known as phototherapy, cold laser or
low intensity laser therapy. This gentle form of therapy uses
visible red light and near infrared light within the (785nm
and 870nm) spectrum. The light frequencies penetrate the skin
to the target tissue and facilitate the healing process. This
form of therapy works by converting the light energy to biochemical
energy which then stimulates the body’s own healing
process.
Laser Therapy is ideally suited to address conditions such
as headaches, sinusitis, tendonitis, bursitis, sprains, strains,
arthritic joints, TMJ, neuropathies associated with diabetes
and more.
The benefits of this type of therapy are many. It is painless,
non-invasive and non-toxic . It is a healty alternative to
those seeking a non-medication solution.
The application of this form of therapy can speed the healing
process by up to 40%. It stimulates new bone growth, connective
tissue repair and enhances blood supply which is needed for
any repair/ recovery process.
What you can expect as a client:
If this therapy is used alone for example to treat an ankle
sprain, you remove your shoe and sock, the laser diodes are
placed on your ankle and the treatment is initiated. The treatment
sessions last up to 15 minutes per site.
This therapy works well with massage therapy, Muscle Energy
technique, Neural Tissue Tension technique and Strain Counterstrain.
