Laser Therapy
/Class IV ‘hot’ laser is another amazing service we offer here at IMSJC‼️ Ever heard the term photobiomodulation?🤔 If so, you smart. If not, no worries, I’m about to explain all things science in a way that makes sense and helps you understand what this therapeutic laser can offer. So this term Photobiomodulation (PBM) is just a fancy word🤓 for giving the body nutrition at a cellular level🔬 to help restore healthy cellular function. During this treatment you will notice a red light🔴 being emitted from the laser as well as feel some heat🔥. So here’s what’s happening:⠀
⠀
-this non-coherent visible and near-infrared spectral range targets the mitochondria(powerhouse💪🏽 of the cell)⠀
-which increases⬆️ oxygen and ATP(energy🏃🏽♂️) production⠀
-resulting in cellular healing(red light effect) + decreased inflammation(metabolism from the heat) = pain reduction (both at the physical and chemical level)⠀
⠀
There are tons of other cascades that happen during this process but I’m not trying to bore you with those nerdy🤓details. If you want some more details on what else happens, hit up the dm’s! Lots of research📚 on this therapy! Several conditions may improve with this therapy, get scheduled so you can see if laser can help you.⠀
