What is Laser Therapy?

The Technology

This dynamic emerging technology utilizes superluminous and laser diodes to irradiate abnormal tissue with photons. These are particles of energy that are absorbed by a variety of micro-molecules within the cell, a process which initiates a number of positive physiological responses. In essence, light energy is converted into biochemical energy. The result - normal cell morphology and function are restored. The process is curative and as logic dictates, symptoms disappear.

Light in its various forms has been used for healing from the time of the ancient Egyptian and Greek civilizations. With recent advances in the engineering of devices and the development of appropriate protocols for effective therapeutic application, dramatic benefits and treatment of many complex medical conditions are now achievable. The BioFlex System combines numerous sophisticated engineering advances with the capacity to control all parameters such as frequency, duty cycle, energy density, duration, etc. An infinite range of protocols can then be delivered to tissue in standard fashion or on a customized basis.

The monochromatic coherent and polarized characteristics of the therapeutic light beam permit penetration of deep tissues without affecting normal cells. Again, it should be noted that the end result is curative with regard to the pathology, rather than symptom modulation, the conventional approach for the management of pain.

The Advantages of Low Intensity Laser Therapy

Non-invasive

Non-toxic

Easily applied

Highly effective

No known negative side effects

The Physiological Effects of Low Intensity Laser Therapy

Short Term Effects

Production and release of beta-endorphins (these are morphine like substances produced by various cells in the body that inhibit the sensation of pain)

Cortisol production is increased (cortisol is the precursor of cortisone). This enables the body to combat the stress associated with trauma or the disease process

The short-term effect is significant in 5-10% of cases during or after the conclusion of the initial treatment, but is not as important as the long term or cumulative effect

Long Term or Cumulative Effect

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production is increased resulting in improved cellular metabolism

DNA (deoxyribonucleicacid) production; the protein building block of tissue is substantially increased

Neurotransmission is facilitated due to elevated levels of serotonin and aceytylcholine

Mitochondrial activity is stimulated resulting in cell replication etc. (i.e. replacement, regeneration and repair of abnormal cells)

Modulation of macrophages, fibroblasts and other cells

Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)

Regulates cell membrane potential, essential in Na, Cl and K ion transfer (electrolyte balance)

Cytokines and other chemicals enhancing cellular communications are released

 Other Effects

The immune response is stimulated

Lymphatic drainage is improved

The histamine response is positively altered

Production of growth hormone is increased

The body's natural healing processes are enhanced
