All light is composed of photons: small packets of light energy in the form of waves with a defined frequency and wavelength. However, not all light is the same. Different wavelengths of light represent different colors on the light spectrum.

When light is projected as a single, coherent wavelength where the waves travel parallel to each other, it’s considered laser light. Laser light is much more intense than regular white light and has a multitude of applications from scanning barcodes to treating pain, inflammation, and more within human bodies.

[av_toggle title=’Anti-Inflammation’ tags=” custom_id=” av_uid=’av-1caezhe’]
Laser therapy has an antiedemic effect as it causes vasodilation (the dilation of blood vessels, decreasing blood pressure), but also because it activates the lymphatic drainage system (drains swollen areas). As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Anti-Pain (Analgesic)’ tags=” custom_id=” av_uid=’av-4ous8y’]
Laser therapy has a high beneficial effect on nerve cells which block pain transmitted by these cells to the brain and which decreases nerve sensitivity. Also, due to less inflammation, there is less edema and less pain. Another pain blocking mechanism involves the production of high levels of pain killing chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalins from the brain and adrenal gland.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Accelerated Tissue Repair & Cell Growth’ tags=” custom_id=” av_uid=’av-195vufm’]
Photons of light from lasers penetrate deep 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. As a result of exposure to laser light, the cells of tendons, ligaments, and muscles are repaired faster.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Improved Vascular Activity’ tags=” custom_id=” av_uid=’av-17vzjeq’]
Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue that speeds up the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue. Additional benefits include acceleration of angiogenesis, which causes temporary vasodilatation, an increase in the diameter of blood vessels.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Increased Metabolic Activity’ tags=” custom_id=” av_uid=’av-16t7d2a’]
Laser therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen, and food particle loads for blood cells.

[av_toggle title=’Trigger Points & Acupuncture Points’ tags=” custom_id=” av_uid=’av-3xt28i’]
Laser therapy stimulates muscle trigger points and acupuncture points on a non-invasive basis, providing musculoskeletal pain relief.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation’ tags=” custom_id=” av_uid=’av-3oeub6′]
Laser therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns, or surgery.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Improved Nerve Function’ tags=” custom_id=” av_uid=’av-106nm42′]
Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light speeds up the process of nerve-cell reconnection and increases the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle action.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Immunoregulation’ tags=” custom_id=” av_uid=’av-xwjq2q’]
Laser light has a direct effect on immunity status by stimulating immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. Laser therapy is absorbed by chromophones (molecule enzymes) that react to laser light. The enzyme flavin mononucleotide is activated and starts the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the major carrier of cell energy and the energy source for all chemical reactions in the cells.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Faster Wound Healing’ tags=” custom_id=” av_uid=’av-wg0fnm’]
Laser light stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissues. Fibroblasts are the building blocks of collagen, which is predominant in wound healing. Collagen is the essential protein required to replace old tissue or to repair tissue injuries. As a result, laser therapy is effective on open wounds and burns.
