Laser Therapy treatment
Laser Therapy, or PhotoBioModulation (PMB) involves applying light to change the activity of the body’s cells. By doing this we are able to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, reduce pain and inflammation, optimise the body’s ability to repair itself, and help to restore normal cell function.
How it works
Improve the body’s healing response through
- Increased ATP (the body’s energy molecule) and protein synthesis
- Improved cell production
- Change in cell membrane permeability to calcium up-take
- Reducing inflammation
Provide pain relief through
- Increased endorphine release
- Increased serotonin
- Supression of nociceptors (sensory nerves which detect pain)
Support the immune system through
- Increasing lymphocyte activity
- Photomodulation of Blood
