Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is often called Cold Laser, as this type of laser creates no heat. Industry
has been using laser diodes for years in such applications as bar code checks, CD players and laser printers. Today,
lasers have become an exciting addition to our advanced care. Over 2,000 worldwide studies have shown that LLLT is totally
safe.
In Low Level Laser Therapy (Prime Books), Turner & Hode explain that LLLT:
• Reduces pain by causing production of endorphins (the body's natural pain killers)
• Reduces
swelling
• Increases lymph drainage, which increases circulation and helps speed healing
• Releases
tight muscles
• Speeds bone repair
• Enhances the immune system
• Re-energizes
cell membranes to allow more nutrients in
The following is just a few of the thousands of studies that have been performed that prove the effectiveness
of LLLT:
• Blood pressure
• Carpal tunnel
• Tennis elbow
• Fibromyalgia
• Rheumatoid
arthritis
• Menstrual pain
• Chronic joint disorder
• Wound healing
• Bone
healing
• Increased collagen production
Adding LLLT to our extensive cache of therapies is a sign of our continued commitment to remain a leader
in chiropractic alternative health care.
