Therapeutic lasers work by supplying energy to the body in the form of photons of light and allowing the body to effect its own repairs. Generally speaking, the biostimulating effect of laser therapy is in its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-edematous effect on tissues. There is absolute increase in microcirculation, higher rates of ATP, RNA and DNA synthesis, and thus better tissue oxygenation and nutrition. There is also an increase in the absorption of interstitial fluid, better tissue regeneration, and stimulation of the analgesic effect.
Therapeutic lasers have the ability to treat an extensive list of ailments that include but are not limited to:
1. | Ankylosing Spondylitis (inflammation between the vertebrae of the spine and sacroiliac joints) |
2. | Buerger's Disease (inflammation of the arteries, nerves and veins in the legs or arms) |

4. | Cervical Vertebral Syndrome (pain in the neck joints) |
5. | Chondromalacia Patellae (inflammation of the cartilage directly behind the kneecap) |
6. | Contusions (bruises) |
7. | Diabetic Neuropathy (inflammation of the peripheral nerves between the central nervous system and other organs) |
