LASER THERAPY AS A NON-INVASIVE METHOD OF USING LASER ENERGY
| Laser therapy light is infrared electromagnetic energy that enters the body as photons. The beam of photons from a laser remains narrow and does not spread out like a conventional light bulb. The amount and depth of penetration of this photon energy depends on several factors related to the patient, the power of the device and the wavelength.

| Laser therapy is a non-invasive method of using laser energy to create a biophotochemical response in damaged or dysfunctional tissue. Laser therapy can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation and speed recovery in a wide range of clinical conditions. Class lV laser therapy has become the standard of care for many musculoskeletal injuries.
Research shows that tissues targeted by high-powered laser therapy increase the production of a cellular enzyme (cytochrome C oxidase) that is crucial for ATP production. This increased ATP production, and thus increased cellular energy, enables a range of biological responses.
