What can Laser Therapy do for you? Laser is beneficial for athletes trying to return to sport faster and in helping those suffering from chronic conditions that not improved with conventional treatment. Here are the short term and cumulative effects of Laser Therapy.

SHORT TERM EFFECT
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 (desoxyribosenucleicacid) production, the protein building block of tissue is substantially increased

Neurotransmission is facilitated due to elevated levels of serotonin and aceytylecholine

Mitochondrial activity is stimulated resulting in cell replication etc.

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

Stimulation of the healing processes is accompanied by relief of symptoms

Laser Therapy or LLLT is becoming more prevalent as a treatment for decreasing inflammation and pain.
When choosing the right laser therapy for you, it is important to know that not all lasers are created equal.
Some important questions to ask are:
How many wavelengths does the laser unit provide?
Is the laser class 3 or 4?
Does the laser make skin contact?

Bioflex Laser:
Provides 3 wavelengths for optimal healing.
-Red SLD.
-Infrared SLD.
-Infrered Laser.
Class 3b-Too little power has no effect and too much power can cause tissue damage through heating.
Bioflex class 3b laser makes skin contact so that photons pe*****te deep into target tissues. Often, class 4 laser do not make skin contact and up to 80% of the light is reflected away.
