Laser therapy, also called photobiomodulation, low level or cold laser therapy, is becoming more widely used in human and animal medicine.  There is a growing body of evidence that the application of a therapeutic dose of light, in the proper wavelength and for the proper duration to impaired or dysfunctional tissue, leads to a

cellular response mediated by mitochondrial mechanisms

that reduce pain and inflammation and speed healing.  

In short, energy in the form of light stimulates several 

intracellular and extracellular mechanisms to increase

energy, oxygen, blood flow, and cellular repair.  

Treatments are non-invasive, rather quick,

well-tolerated, and relatively economical

compared to more traditional therapies

like drugs or medicaments.
