Low Level Laser Therapy (Cold Laser)
The Erchonia lasers use low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to alter cellular functions and provide noticeable pain relief. Similar to photosynthesis in plants. LLLT has a photochemical effect that naturally reduces oxidative stress and increases the production of ATP. Healthcare professionals can use the powers of this innovative technology to target numerous painful conditions they see daily.
The broad use of these lasers make cold laser therapy an ideal choice for chiropractors, doctors, physical therapists, and other professionals.
Housed within the mitochondria, the cell energy manufacturer, are receptors capable of absorbing distinct parameters of light. Think of these receptors like any drug receptors. When we consume a prescription medication, the compound is absorbed by the body and it locates a particular receptor: based upon its molecular design, will bind to that receptor. Once the drug binds, a secondary reaction inside the cell takes place. A similar mechanism is observed when exposing the body to a particular color of light.
During a laser treatment, the light will penetrate the skin and is absorbed by this receptor within the mitochondria. Receptor stimulation with light promotes energy production, biochemical reactions, protein and growth factor synthesis, cell growth and proliferation and enhanced blood and oxygen flow.
