What is low level laser and light therapy?

​Low level laser and light therapy, also known as phototherapy, is a safe and highly effective treatment method that offers a rapid, drug free, non-invasive and pain free healing solution. Phototherapy uses photons (light energy) from the visible and infrared spectrum of light.  Light energy penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the cells of muscles, joints and ligaments.  It is then converted into bio-chemical energy, restoring normal cell function.  Light energy has been proven to heal tissue, reduce pain, and decrease edema and inflammation.  Laser therapy accelerates the healing process up to 40%.

How does phototherapy work?

• Increases circulation and angiogenesis
• Reduces or eliminates acute and chronic pain
• Reduces inflammation and swelling
• Stimulates and improves nerve function
• Strengthens and repairs bone and soft tissue
• Increases mobility and muscle function


Conditions treated with phototherapy

​• Arthritis (osteo and rheumatoid)
• Carpal tunnel syndrome (repetitive strain injuries)
• Acute and chronic pain conditions
(neuralgia, fibromyalgia or muscle tension/spasms)
• Soft tissue injuries, strains and sprains
• Swelling and edema
• Inflammatory conditions (e.g. tendonitis, bursitis)
