Class IV Laser Therapy In Peak Physical Medicine and Wellness
Laser Therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light. This laser works on a cellular level. The laser stimulates the body’s main energy cell called the mitochondria which does the following:
- Increases healing
- Decreases in pain
- Reduction in muscle spasms
- Improved circulation
- Non-invasive
- Regenerative
- Treats both chronic & acute conditions
Laser Therapeutic Effects
During each painless treatment, laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved.
Cellular Effects
During laser therapy, laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level increasing metabolic activity within the cell. By improving the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane, the increased production of cellular energy (ATP) is stimulated. The cascade of beneficial effects that follows includes increased cellular function and tissue repair.
