Laser Therapy first started evolving in the 60's era with Endre Mester. It continues to evolve today from Low Level Laser Therapy to High Level Laser Therapy. It is a very successful and documented tool that is used to help repair soft tissue damage, treat injuries, and chronic pain. There is a lot of science behind how it works. The basic theme is that light energy helps cells to produce energy. When cells produce more energy, there is increase of cellular activity. This increase speeds healing, increases circulation, and activates the pain receptors to reduce pain. This is a more simplified version of what is actually happening. It is amazing what a little light can do.
Clients can receive laser therapy for a variety of reasons. Many use it to increase healing after an injury or surgery. It works well for very old chronic conditions, as well as, acute injury. It is a safe a effective way to work deeper into tissues including ligaments, tendons, bones, and nerves. I have a class IV Medical Laser with specific programming for treating specific areas of the body. It is FDA approved equipment and yes, I provide the safety glasses for use.
