Laser Therapy
(Photobiomodulation)
What is Class IV Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy is a non-surgical, drug-free treatment for neuropathic pain that stimulates nerve cells and promotes regeneration. The therapy uses near-red and red light wavelengths to stimulate damaged tissue and cells, which increases healing energy and encourages circulation in the damaged area. The treatment also draws oxygen, nutrients, and water to the site, which creates an optimal healing environment.
How does Laser Therapy Work?
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a light therapy that uses red and near infra-red light to induce photochemical reactions in the body on the molecular and cellular levels. It combines wavelengths, pulsing and power to achieve unparalleled therapeutic effects including reduction in pain, accelerated cellular recovery and increased circulation.
Laser treatments are commonly used to treat:
-
Stiffness
-
Muscle Pain
-
