What Can It Help?

Laser Therapy creates a controlled emission of electromagnetic radiation in the form of light. The main function of laser therapy is known as photobiomodulation; the laser carries photons to your cells where they are absorbed to accelerate production of ATP, which is the energy source for stimulating many beneficial cellular processes. This includes restoring normal cell morphology and function, enhancing cellular respiration and antioxidant function.
