Laser Therapy uses near-infrared light to enhance and speed up natural healing processes. The laser beam is conveyed to the skin so that the light energy penetrates into the tissue where it interacts with specific photoreceptor molecules leading to several biological effects. These effects can be broadly categorised as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oedemic and bio-stimulating. 

At the cellular level there is an increase in ATP synthesis and ATP binding proteins, increased RNA production, cell proliferation and differentiation, release of growth factors and biologically beneficial proteins, modulation of inflammatory cytokines and proteins. 

This correlates, at the tissue level, to modulation of the inflammatory process, ECM remodeling, induction of myogenesis and fibre regeneration, induction of angiogenesis, promotion of neuronal function, endothelial function stimulation and reduction in scar tissue formation.

Laser Therapy is a painless and non-invasive therapeutic technique that can be applied in daily practice for treating pathologies involving pain, inflammation, oedema, wounds and tendon and ligament injuries.
