Class IV Cold Laser: Healing rays of light
Laser’s ability to effectively relieve pain and reduce inflammation are widely recognized. At our most basic level of understanding, laser therapy uses pulses of concentrated light energy to induce chemical changes to tissues that speed healing.
I choose my medicine based on results, with a heavy emphasis on scientific evidence. Exciting new research continues to highlight the potential benefits of laser therapy at the cellular level:
Induces ATP production (ATP is necessary for cell function and healing)
Promotes protein synthesis
Promotes cell migration and proliferation (an important component of tissue healing)
Promotes anti-inflammatory signaling between cells
Increases production of antioxidant enzymes
Laser is quickly becoming a gold standard treatment for a wide range of human and animal conditions. Applications range from orthopedic problems like arthritis, all the way up to superficial skin problems such as burns and infections.
