Through photo-bio-stimulation, Laser Therapy significantly accelerates and enhances the body's natural defense and repair components in the presence of injury, inflammation and certain disease processes. By limiting the duration of inflammation, and enhancing repair and healing, Laser Therapy provides pain relief, reduces injury damage and loss of function. In addition, it facilitates more rapid repair and stronger healed tissue structures.

Short Term Effects
Production and release of beta-endorphins (these are morphine like substances produced by various cells in the body that inhibit the sensation of pain).
The short-term effect is significant in 5-10% of cases during or after the conclusion of the initial treatment, but is not as important as the long term or cumulative effect.

Long Term or Cumulative Effects
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production is increased resulting in improved cellular metabolism.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is substantially increased. DNA codes for the production of proteins that are the building blocks of tissues.
Neurotransmission is facilitated due to elevated levels of serotonin and acetylcholine.
Mitochondrial activity is stimulated resulting in increase number and size of mitochondria. This leads to an increase in cell metabolism and an increase in cell replication.
Modulation of Macrophages, fibroblasts and other white blood cells.
Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels).
Regulates cell membrane potential, for Na+, Cl- and K+ ion transfer (electrolyte balance).
Cytokines and other chemicals enhancing cellular communications are released.
