How Does The Laser Work?

Laser therapy works through a process called “photobiomodulation,” which means the photons, or light energy packets that are put out by the laser are absorbed by the cells and enzymes involved in oxygen utilization and the production of ATP, which is what the cell uses to power all of its functions. This process delivers more oxygen to the cells, which means more energy (ATP) is produced for the cell. When the cell’s power is increased, the cell can function at a higher level. Increasing cellular function leads to many beneficial effects, such as anti-inflammatory effects, analgesic (pain relief) effects, and increased tissue healing by forming new blood vessels. The laser increases how fast the cells grow and reproduce, leading to faster recovery of painful and/or damaged tissue.
