"Unlike many other treatments that mask pain or only address the symptoms, functional laser therapy treats the underlying condition to promote healing."
This means that treatments are effective & can be long lasting.
Understanding Laser therapy
Class IV laser therapy is used for relief of pain, to accelerate healing and decrease inflammation. When a light source is placed against the skin, photons penetrate 2-4 inches and are absorbed by the mitochondria (the energy producing part of a cell).
This energy results in the restoration of normal cell function. The main goal of laser therapy is to stimulate the cell to perform its natural functions, but a an enhanced rate.

choosing laser therapy"Lasers have to be powerful enough to penetrate into your tissues. Our Class IV FDA-Cleared Lasers are 45 watts using three unique wavelengths: 810, 980, & 1025 for maximum effect."

laser therapy (PBM) in combination with total body photobiomoduation (tbpbm) can improve specific organ function:
- Kidney Function pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9320354/ anzsnevents.com/15686/
- Adrenal Gland Function: PBM stimulates ATP production, which may help restore proper function. Light therapy can modulate cortisol levels, potentially bypassing the HPA axis. PBM has been shown to reduce oxidative stress. By influencing circadian rhythm regulation and melatonin and cortisol production, PBM may help restore natural sleep-wake cycles
- Liver Function: https://www.journalijdr.com/photobiomodulation-therapy-nonalcoholic-fatty-liverdisease www.journalijdr.com/sites/default/files/issue-pdf/24275_0.pdf
- Thyroid Function: Healing Hashimotos with Red Light Chamber
- Lung Function: see below
Pulmonary Fibrosis: Attenuates inflammation and reduces TGF-β levels, decreases accumulation and activation of fibroblasts, reduces deposition of extracellular matrix proteins
Acute Lung Injury: Reduces inflammatory infiltrate and thickening of alveolar septum, decreases lung injury score, lowers immunoexpression of pulmonary IL-1β
positive effects & benefits of laser therapy
1. Anti-inflammatory
- Laser therapy has an anti-edemic effect as it causes vasodilation,but also because it activates the lymphatic drainage system ( drains swollen areas ). As a result,t ehre is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.
- Laser therapy also decreases inflammation by increasing local mediators that resolve the inflammatory process
- There's More... Near Infrared Light Lasers create Melatonin inside your mitochondria. No, it's not going to put you to sleep... Melatonin is an extremely potent antioxidant and it upregulates (increases the production of...) Glutathione - your body's main antioxidant. Why is this important? Antioxidants will help slow down the aging process of your body by decreasing inflammation.
- Laser therapy has a high beneficial effect on nerve cells which block pain transmitted by these cells to the brain. This decreases nerve sensitivity. And, due to less inflammation, there is less swelling and less pain.
- Laser therapy increases local Nitric Oxide Production (NO) which increases blood flow to the tissues delivering vital nutrients for energy and repair and allows for improved detoxification of local tissues by improving the exit routes.
- Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products.
- Laser light increases local ATP production.
- Laser therapy increases local growth factors that promote healing.
- Laser light will increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue that speeds up the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue.
- Increase in microvascular production.
- Laser therapy created higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.
- Laser Therapy Stimulates muscle trigger pointe and acupuncture points on a non invasive basis providing musculoskeletal pain relief.
Q: IS LASER THERAPY SAFE?
A: Class IV laser therapy is extremely safe and all that is usually felt is a mild warming sensation. Plus safety glasses and all safety consideration are in place before therapy starts.
Q: is it Painful?
A: No. Class IV laser treatments provide a warm and soothing sensation. This is usually folloed by a reduction in pain, and an increase in your range of motion.
Q: Is laser therapy scientifically well documented?
A: Class IV Laser therapy has hundreds of scientific tests, documents and studies done. It is the most dependable and result producing of all therapies.
Q: Does laser therapy cause cancer in the tissue?
A: Since there is no ionizing radiation, the chances of ever producing a cancer is reduced to the absolute minimum.
Q How long does each treatment take?
A: Class IV laser is nearly 5x faster than Class III or cold lasers. Plus the results from Class IV laser only take a few minutes to get the maximum affect. Having said that, we take each patient on an individualized basis. Laser therapy is not a one size fits all type of treatment.
Q: How often should you be treated?
A: It is suggested, depending on the severity of the condition, taht you be treated two-three times per week for a range of from four to six weeks for maximum recovery.
Q: How long before the results are felt?
A: This is the beauty of Class IV laser. Many patients report results after the first visit. Of course everyone's condition varies, but results are often quickly felt.
Q: Are there any contraindications? Reason not to treat with laser therapy?
A: If you are pregnant. Another is if you recently have been placed on a short course of steroids. Best to wait two weeks after finished.
