Low Laser Therapy

Low level laser therapy is the application of red and near infrared light over injuries or wounds to improve soft tissue healing and relieve both acute and chronic pain. Medex laser uses light energy to direct bio-simulative light energy to the body's cells without injuring or damaging them in any way. The therapy is precise and accurate, offering safe and effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions. This increase in energy levels allows the cells to work more effectively in properly balancing the cellular components; so that the cells can function properly improving the body's healing capabilities. The result is that the body is able to heal itself in a shorter period of time.

Some of the unique healing effects of MedX Phototherapy include:

•  Increased cell metabolism
• Improved localized blood circulation
• Development of collagen and muscle tissue
• Relief from acute and chronic pain
• Reduced localized inflammation and swelling
• Stimulation for wound healing and tissue repair
• Stimulation of the immune system
• Stimulation of nerve function
• The Advantages of Low Intensity Laser Therapy
• Non-invasive
• Non-toxic
• Easily applied
• Highly effective
• No known negative side effects

Research demonstrates that laser therapy can be used to effectively treat many conditions including:

1. Chronic and Acute Pain reduction
2. Soft Tissue Injuries
3. Skin injuries and irritations
4. Healing Diabetic Foot Ulcers
5. Rheumatoid and Osteoarethritis injuries
6. Bursitis, Swelling, Bruising
7. Post surgical healing of scars, incision site and pain, swelling, bruising

Before any treatment is conducted a proper assessment needs to be done in order to determine whether or not the laser therapy is a proper way to deal with the problem.
