Laser Therapy

At Optimal Health & Chiropractic, our goal is to determine the cause of your pain and to provide quality, effective care to get you well as quickly as possible.

Theralase therapeutic laser treatments provide patients with a safe, effective and painless therapy that uses the bodys’ own natural healing systems to relieve pain, increase joint mobility, increase tissue integrity and promote cell regeneration.

Theralase lasers work by supplying energy to the body in the form of billions of photons of light.

The body absorbs this laser light on a cellular level and transforms it into chemical energy, which the body then uses to commence its own tissue repairs. The biostimulating effect of laser therapy causes a decrease in inflammation and pain and an increase in tissue regeneration and healing.

Theralase’s dual wavelength super pulsing technology is the only laser that penetrates up to 4″ into tissue activating all three known cellular pathways.

  • Adenosine Triphoshate Pathway (ATP): Accelerate Healing
  • Nitric Oxide (NO) Pathway: Reduces Inflamation
  • Lipid Absorption Pathway: Decreases Pain

Theralase lasers offer treatment for acute and chronic pain conditions, additions, and cosmetic revitalization. Our lasers help you regain the active and healthy lifestyle you yearn for by utilizing the power of light energy.

Over 3,000 clinical studies worldwide have proven the success of therapeutic lasers in the healing of neural muscular-skeletal conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do Theralase laser burn? – No. There are two general types of medical lasers: heat generating lasers which cut through tissue and cold lasers, such as the Theralase, which stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

2. Are Theralase lasers harmful? – No, Theralase lasers used for tissue stimulation are not strong enough to damage cells, so even if they were used 24 hours a day, they would not be able to harm you.

3. Do Theralase lasers work? – When laser light interacts with tissue it causes certain photochemical reactions to occur and stimulates natural biological healing processes.

4. How long does therapy take? – Treatment time will vary from a little as 2 minutes to as long as 20 minutes. The total number of treatments required varies between 5 to 25 depending on the body’s natural healing rate and the severity of the condition.

Benefits of using Laser Therapy

A Proven medical deivce that safely and effectively stimulates deep tissue regeneration and relieves pain and inflammation.

1. Rapid Cell Growth – Laser Light accelerates cellular reproduction and growth.

2. Faster Wound Healing – Laser light reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints to provide enhanced joint mobility.

3. Reduced Fibruous Tissue Formation – Laser light reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from: cuts, scratches, burns or post surgery.

4. Increased Metabolic Activity – Higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells and thus greater production of food source for cells, Andenosine triphosphate (ATP)

5. Increased Vascular Activity – Laser light induces temporary vasodilation increasing blood flow to damaged areas.

6. Stimulated Nerve Function – Slow recovery of nerve function in damaged tissue can result in “dead” limbs or numb areas. Laser light speeds up the process of nerve cell reconnection to bring the numb areas back to life.
