What is Laser Therapy?
LASER. The word alone sounds like it will hurt, and might leave you wondering what exactly it is, but the benefits of Cold Laser Therapy are many. When applied properly and consistently, can allow you to live a life free from chronic pain and inflammation.
We want to share with you what cold laser therapy is, how it’s beneficial and why we think you should give it a try if you're in pain. We are such fans of this treatment option - it’s part of the name of our business!
At Westridge Laser & Massage, we use the bioflex laser therapy system, created by Dr. Fred Kahn. He suffered a shoulder injury in the 80’s and was hesitant to undergo surgery to treat it. He was introduced to cold laser therapy and in turn, improved on the treatment by creating a product that was both easy to operate and can treat many conditions.
Let’s talk about the science behind it:
BioFlex Laser Therapy utilizes scientifically developed and clinically tested protocols that maximize the effectiveness of treatment of an extensive range of clinical pathologies.
Laser Technology uses superluminous and laser diodes to treat diseased or traumatized tissue with photons. These particles of energy are selectively absorbed by the cell membrane and intracellular molecules, initiating a cascade of complex physiological reactions, leading to the restoration of normal cell structure and function.
Your body produces and releases beta-endorphins to control the sensation of pain. Cortisol production is increased to combat the stress associated with the trauma or the disease process. Along with what’s called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - which improves cellular metabolism and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) – the protein building block of tissue – both substantially increase.
Neurotransmission is facilitated secondary to elevated levels of serotonin and acetylcholine. Mitochondrial activity is stimulated resulting in cell replication for the replacement, regeneration and repair of abnormal cells.
In the end...the process results in the elimination of symptoms, including pain, and stimulates the body’s immune system response, facilitating natural healing. The cold laser therapy helps to speed up your healing journey.
THE BENEFITS OF LASER THERAPY ARE PROVEN IN MORE THAN 4,000 SCIENTIFIC PAPERS AND 500 CLINICAL STUDIES.
We are certified to use the Bioflex laser system, which delivers precise dosages of photon particles to effectively treat pain associated with an extensive number of clinical pathologies.
This alleviates pain and other prevalent symptoms.
