How Laser Therapy Works

Low Level Laser Therapy aims to biostimulate. Because of its low power nature, the effects are biochemical and not thermal and cannot cause heating and thereby damage to living tissue. Three distinct photobiological effects are known to occur when using Low Level Laser Therapy:

 

1. Healing growth factor response through:

• Increased ATP and protein synthesis
• Improved cell proliferation
• Change in cell membrane permeability to calcium up-take

 

2. Pain Relief through:

• Increased endorphin release
• Increased serotonin
• Suppression of nociceptor action

 

3. Immune system support through:

• Increasing levels of lymphocyte activity
• Photomodulation of blood

Low level laser therapy optimises the speed of repair in acute injuries but will also stimulate the body's repair processes in cases of non-healing or chronic conditions
