The Power of Class IV Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy utilizes infra-red electro magnetic energy. It is extremely safe and patients often feel a mild warming sensation.
When the laser light source is placed against your skin, photons penetrate several centimeters down and are absorbed by the mitochondria (the energy producing part of a cell).
The Importance of Cell Regeneration
Simply put, healing is only possible with the regeneration of cellular energy. Research shows that tissues targeted by High Power Laser Therapy are stimulated to increase production of a cellular enzyme that is critical to the product of ATP (the currency of chemical energy in living cells).
This is the photo-chemical effect of High Power Laser Therapy.
How can Class IV Laser Therapy Help You?
Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth
Cells of cartilage, bone, tendons, ligaments, and muscles are repaired faster as a result of exposure to laser light.
Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation
This point is paramount because fibrous (scar) tissue is less elastic, has poorer circulation, is more pain sensitive, weaker, and much more prone to re-injury and frequent exacerbation.
Anti-Inflammation
Laser light therapy has an anti-inflammatory effect, reducing inflammation caused by biomechanical stress, trauma, overuse, or systemic conditions.
Analgesia
Laser therapy suppresses nerve signals that transmit pain to the brain.
Improved Vascular Activity
Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue.
Improved Nerve Function
Laser therapy accelerates the process of nerve cell regeneration.
Stimulates Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points
Laser therapy stimulates muscle trigger points, restoring muscular tonus and balance.
