Laser Therapy

How does laser therapy work?

• Laser therapy uses a concentrated beam of light that penetrates the skin and stimulates a chain of cellular reactions (a process called photostimulation)
• The light is stimulating the body's own cells to accelerate the healing process by:
  • Increasing circulation to the area which brings nutrients and oxygen 
  • activating the processes that accelerate tissue repair and cell growth
  • Producing the energy for the cells to use
  • activating cells that clean up the waste products of inflammation 

Common uses for the therapeutic laser are:

• Osteoarthritis
• Soft tissue injuries (eg.cruciate ligament injuries)
• Chronic wounds
• Post surgical swelling
• Disc disease
• and many more!
