Harness the Healing Power of Light
with low-level laser therapy
Laser therapy (or phototherapy) uses an energy-charged light to painlessly penetrate underlying tissues, which stimulates the body's natural repair processes.
First developed over 30 years ago, low-level laser therapy is an FDA approved and Health Canada-licensed treatment option for pain and injuries. The result is faster healing and reduced pain, swelling, and inflammation.
How does
laser therapy work?
The pain-free low-level laser is applied to your skin
so it can supply energy to your body in the form of billions of light photons.
The body absorbs this laser light
on a cellular level and transforms it into chemical energy.
The body then uses the extra energy
to commence its own tissue repairs. The bio-stimulating effects cause a decrease in inflammation and pain and an increase in tissue healing.
How many laser therapy treatments do I need?
More acute conditions will often only need 5-6 treatments. Chronic conditions can take longer and may need closer to 6-12 treatments. These are averages and every person’s healing time is unique.
