Laser Therapy and its Effects on the Body
Laser therapy works by stimulating the body to heal from within. Non-thermal photons of light are administered to the body for about 3 to 8 minutes and absorbed by the injured cells. The cells are then stimulated and respond with a higher rate of metabolism. This results in relief from pain, increased circulation, reduced inflammation, and an acceleration of the healing process.
Numerous studies show that laser therapy has the following physiological effects on the body:
- Pain Relief
- Anti-inflammatory effect
- Accelerated tissue repair and cell growth
- Immune regulation
- Improved circulation and blood flow
- Improved nerve function
- Reduction in scar tissue formation
- Faster wound healing
