Laser Your Pain Away!

So what's all the hype over cold laser therapy for relievingpain?

briefly explained, cold laser therapy means that the light emitted is sub-thermal. As the light penetrates the skin there is no heating of the skin or damage to the skin. The warmth that is felt is the energy from the cells as it receives the light energy from the laser.

Laser pain therapy is one of the safest,effective therapiesavailable for pain. Unfortunately, it is one of the mostunderutilized modalities, probably due to lack of information that has beenavailable to doctors, physical therapists, veterinarians and pain managementphysicians.

The "mystery" on how it works is actuallyvery simple. Photons are energy from light. This light energy is seen in oureveryday life in the form of sunlight and lights that provide light to our homeand workplace. This light never reaches the damaged tissue as it only reachesthe outermost skin. the laser light penetrates the skin to the the deepertissues. as it does this is the photons bring the energy to the cells that aredamaged. The beauty is that only those damaged cells absorb the energy andconverts that energy resulting in biochemical changes that stimulate damagecells to heal.

Photons are only absorbed by cells that have been injured!

The result? actually healing of those cells,immediate reduction in inflammation, scar tissue and pain with no side effects.
