Laser therapy
Laser therapy aka low-level light therapy or more accurately photobiomodulation is a wonder! We are so excited to add this amazing therapy into our practice!
Photobiomodulation stimulates tissue repair and healing, creating actual healing, not just temporary relief of symptoms.
Photobiomodulation works by
- Promoting blood flow – including angiogenesis and neovascularization (creation of new blood vessels)
- Promoting and modulating collagen production, can reduce or promote scar tissue depending on what is needed
- Promoting muscle regeneration and decreasing muscular atrophy (weakness)
- Reducing inflammation and swelling
- Promoting cartilage production
- Promoting nerve regeneration and repair
- Promoting bone formation
- Increasing energy production in cells
We use photobiomodulation alongside acupuncture and massage therapy to treat a ton of different conditions from fertility and painful periods to sprains, strains, and injuries. Contact us to find out more.
