What Is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy is the non-invasive use of light energy to create a photochemical reaction in damaged tissue. Deep tissue laser therapy reduces pain, shortens inflammatory cycles and speeds recovery from acute/chronic disease. Using laser therapy can speed up postoperative healing. Light energy delivered in joules works with the body on a cellular level and targets only damaged cells and tissues. This process triggers the release of a chemical called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) within the cellular structure. The production of ATP allows the healing process to begin at the cellular level in the body.
