Laser Therapy



Many natural chemicals increase in production with laser therapy to improve cell function and promote healing. There is a cumulative healing effect with each session increasing the regeneration of healthy cell function.

 

The following are natural chemicals that are increased with laser therapy:

  • DNA synthesis • the protein building block essential to the process of cell regeneration
  • Collagen production • this increases tensile strength of muscles, tendons and ligaments
  • ATP (adenosine triphosphate) • the fuel required by the cell for proper cell metabolism
  • Endorphins • morphine like substance produced by the body to reduce the sensation of pain
  • Cortisol • enables the body to combat the stress associated with trauma or the disease process

Keep in mind that Laser Therapy will not correct problems with muscle alignment or skeletal structure that may be the causative factor in your condition. In this case, STAMINA® Rehabilitation Therapy would be recommended to address the deeper root of the problem.

Low Intensity Laser Therapy is effective in pain resolution and decreasing inflammation for injuries and acute or chronic conditions such as:

General

  • repetitive stress injury
  • carpal tunnel syndrome
  • epicondylitits
  • fibromyalgia
  • reflex sympathetic dystrophy
  • temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction
  • headaches & migraines

 

Inflammatory

  • tendonitis
  • myositis
  • synovitis
  • bursitis
  • plantar fasciitis
  • rheumatoid arthritis

 

Other Conditions

  • wound healing
  • dermal ulcers:
    • venous stasis
    • atherosclerotic
    • contact
    • diabetic
    • traumatic
  • burns (thermal and chemical)

 

Injuries

  • fractures with associated soft tissue injuries
  • facet joint syndrome
  • bulging and herniated discs
  • contusions

 

Degenerative

  • osteoarthritis
  • chondromalacia patella
  • discogenic and vertebrogenic radiculopathy
  • spinal stenosis
  • Calcifications (eg. Bone spurs)

 

Other Conditions

  • lymphedema (acute & chronic)
  • dermatology:
    • herpes zoster (shingles)
    • ezcemas
    • psoriasis
  • gout / arthritis
  • neuropathies (diabetic, etc.)

 


Laser Therapy treatments are 1 hour in length. The number of treatments needed depends on the chronic nature and extent of the pathology involved. Based on the genetic makeup of the cells, individuals respond at differing rates. An average range is 8-15 sessions. The affect is cumulative so treatments are scheduled 3 in the first week and then twice a week until resolution has been achieved.


Unlike most pharmaceutical therapy, or other treatment options, laser therapy is non-toxic, and non-invasive. Over 1 million individual treatments have been administered with no adverse effects being noted. There can be achiness in the area of pathology the day of or after a session. This will only last a few hours and is an indicator that the cells have been stimulated.


STAMINA® Rehabilitation Therapy realigns the load management muscles in the body to address the causes of discomfort and pain. In some individuals the damage or inflammation is in an advanced state and may require additional therapy. Low Intensity Laser therapy goes to work promoting healing in damaged cells and reduces inflammation. This allows STAMINA® to be more effective to those damaged areas.
