Low Level Laser Therapy is a physical modality that has been effectively used in Europe for more than 25 years and has just recently introduced as an FDA cleared treatment here in the United States.
Lasers work on the principle of donating energy. This energy, often defined as joules of energy or photons, benefits the cell in numerous ways. It has been found to enhance the electron spin of the cell, which helps the DNA and increases the mitochondrial output of ATP. ATP is the energy of the cell which stimulates cellular rejuvenation or growth.
All of this laser physics translates to cellular rejuvenation. Injuries heal when energy reaches the site and stimulates cells to grow more cells.
The laser offers this energy in the form of photons (light) which in turns brings more blood flow, more oxygen, more electrons and more lymph - all of this enhances the cells ability to rejuvenate. It is very similar to the effect of sunlight on growing vegetables. The sunlight brings photons which stimulates vegetables to grow more cells. The laser is an effective way to enhances the cells ability to grow.
What can Laser Therapy Treat?
- Low back, neck and disc pain
- strains and sprains
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- tendonitis (tennis elbow)
- arthritis (chronic pain)
- injuries (acute pain)
- sports injuries
- plantar fascitis
- bursitis
- wounds and burns
- non-healing ulcers
- rotator cuff injuries
Low Level Lasers:
Light or photon energy with the unique property of being able to penetrate up to two inches below the skin surface causing an increase in cellular metabolism with no tissue damage whatsoever.
What our Patients have to say about Laser Therapy:
The laser therapy and electric stimulation that I received at Wise Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Center has strengthened my arthritic knees and increased my mobility, while decreasing the amount of pain that I experience on a day to day basis. I highly recommend the Wise Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Center to anyone in need of treatment!
