Cold Laser Therapy

Theralase therapeutic laser treatments provide patients with a safe, effective and painless therapy that uses the body’s own natural healing systems to relieve pain, increase joint mobility, increase tissue integrity and promote cell regeneration.  Laser therapy works by supplying energy to the body in the form of billions of photons of light.  The body absorbs this laser light on a cellular level and transforms it into chemical energy, which the body then uses to commence its own tisue repairs.  The biostimulating effect of laser therapy causes a decrease in inflammation and pain and an increase in tissue regneration and healing.

Over 2,000 clinical studies worldwide have proven the success of therapeutic lasers in the healing of neural muscular-skeletal conditions.  Theralase has performed a blinded randomized control study on chronic knee pain proving the clinical efficacy of Theralase therapeutic laser technology and achieving FDA 510(k) approval.

 

 

The Benefits of Using Theralase Include:

Rapid Cell Growth:  Laser light accelerates cellular reproduction and growth.

Faster Wound Healing:  Laser light stimulates fibroblast development and acelerates collagen synthesis in damaged tissue.

Anti-inflammatory Action:  Laser light reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints to provide enhanced joint mobility.

Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation:  Laser light reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from: cuts, scratches, burns, or post surgery.

Increased Metabolic Activity:  Higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells and thus greater production of the basic food source for cells, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Increased Vascular Activity:  Laser light induces temporary vasodilation increasing blood flow to damaged areas.

Stimulated Nerve Function:  Slow recovery of nerve function in damaged tisue can result in “dead” limbs or numb areas.  Laser light speeds up the process of nerve cell reconnection to bring the numb areas back to life.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do Theralase lasers burn?  

No.  There are two general types of medical lasers: heat generating lasers which cut through tissue and cold lasers, such as the Theralase, which stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

 

Are Theralase lasers harmful?

No.  Theralase lasers used for tissue stimulation are not strong enough to damage cells; so even if they were used 24 hours a day, they would not be able to harm you.

 

Do Theralase lasers work?

Yes.  Theralase laser therapy is safe, effective and painless, with results which are often immediate with no side effects.  Efficacy rates in excess of 90% are routinely achieved.

 

How do Theralase lasers work?

When laser light interacts with tissue it causes certain photochemical reactions to occur and stimulates natural biological healing processes.

 

How long does the therapy take?

Treatment time will vary from as little as 2 minutes to as long as 20 minutes.  The total number of treatments required varies between 5 to 25 depending on the body’s natural healing rate and the severity of the condition.
