HOW LASER THERAPY WORKS AND THE PHOTOBIOMODULATION PROCESS

Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation (PBM means photobiomodulation). During PBM, photons enter the tissue and interact with the cytochrome c complex within mitochondria. This interaction triggers a biological cascade of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism, which can decrease pain as well as accelerate the healing process.

Stimulate Cytochrome C

The primary target for the photobiomodulation process is the Cytochrome C complex, which is found in the inner membrane of the cell mitochondria. Cytochrome C is a vital component of the electron transport chain that drives cellular metabolism.

Increase Production of ATP (Energy)

As light is absorbed by Cytochrome C oxidase (COX), it stimulates the electron transport chain to increase the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) within the mitochondria. When tissue is damaged, the production of ATP in the cell is impaired which slows down the metabolism of the cell as a protective mechanism. PBM helps restore the oxidative process which helps restore normal cellular function.

Restore Cellular Energy Balance

PBM helps restore normal cellular function which helps prevent apoptosis (cell death). This helps reduce inflammation, edema, and hastens the tissue repair process.

Proven CLinical Benefits

Anti INFLAMMATION

Laser therapy has an anti-edemic effect as it causes vasodilation, but also because it activates the lymphatic (drains swollen areas). As a result there is a reduction of swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.

ANTI-PAIN / Pain analgesic

Laser therapy has a high beneficial effect on nerve cells which block pain transmitted by these cells to the brain and which decreases nerve sensitivity. Due to less inflammation there is less edema and pain.

ACCELERATED tissue repair and cell growth

Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. Laser light increases the energy available to the cell so the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products.

Improved vascular activity

Laser light significantly increases the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue that speeds up the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue.

Increased metabolic activity

Laser therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.

Reduced fibrous tissue formation

Laser Therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns or surgery.

Improved nerve function

Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser ;light will speed up the process of axonal regeneration, nerve cell re-connection and increase the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle action.

FDA Approval

FDA approved for pain and inflammation reduction.

faster wound healing

Laser light stimulates fibroblast development (fibroblasts are the building block of collagen), which is predominate in wound healing. Collagen is the essential protein required to replace old tissue or repair tissue injuries.

TRIGGER POINTS AND ACUPUNCTURE POINTS

Laser therapy stimulates muscle trigger points (knots) and acupuncture points on a non-invasive basis providing musculoskeletal pain relief.
