Light Therapy can: Increase vascularity (circulation) by increasing the formation of new capillaries, which are additional blood vessels that replace damaged ones. New capillaries speed up the healing process by carrying more oxygen as well as more nutrients needed for healing and they can also carry more waste products away. Stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is the most common protein found in the body. Collagen is the essential protein used to repair damaged tissue and to replace old tissue. It is the substance that holds cells together and has a high degree of elasticity. By increasing collagen production less scar tissue is formed at the damaged site. Stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the major carrier of energy to all cells. Increases in ATP allow cells to accept nutrients faster and get rid of waste products faster by increasing the energy level in the cell. All … Read More

Cold Laser Therapy Basics
Over 75 Trillion cells in a human body and they all need energy and electrons to communicate with each other. Laser light delivers the required electrons and energy directly to the cells, enhancing their ability to communicate with each other, absorb oxygen and nutrients and dispose of wastes and toxins. The laser delivers photons to the cells, and mitochondria, which they convert into ATP and use as energy for rebuilding and repairing tissues, tendons, ligaments, nerves and even bones.
