ABOUT Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is used to manage chronic and acute pain, inflammation, and wound healing. It’s a non-invasive, pain-free treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the natural healing process on a cellular level. This causes the release of endorphins, decreases inflammatory chemicals, stimulates nerve cells to reduce the transmission of pain signals, causes lymphatic vessels to dilate, and increases blood flow to an area which, in turn, brings more oxygen and nutrients to the target area and helps with healing and regeneration.
