Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a cutting-edge technology used to treat a multitude of conditions using low-level lasers, LEDs, or near-infrared light. PBM is also known as cold laser therapy or low-level light therapy that works at a cellular level and promotes healing where the light beam is applied. With PBM, photons of light work to eliminate oxidative stress in your cells, which decreases inflammation, relieves pain, and speeds healing.
Since the function of PBM is to enhance the energy production of each cell, decrease cellular oxidative stress (the cause of chronic inflammation), and increase circulation, this therapy can help almost every ailment, whether acute or chronic in nature. The following is a list of example conditions: Musculoskeletal – muscle, joint, bone, and tendon pain and injuries. Traumatic brain injury including concussion and whiplash. Neck and back pain. Stiffness and swelling. Post-exercise muscle recovery. Skin and Hair – wounds, hair loss, and multiple dermatological conditions. Nerve – decreased motor and sensory function including symptoms of burning, tingling, numbness, pain, and fatigue. Oral – post-surgical scarring, TMJ, mucositis, painful tongue, cheeks, and dryness. Inflammation – specific and localized; acute and chronic. General wellness, immune stimulation, and preventative care.
None. Our light therapy treatments use low-level lasers and LEDs that have no potentially harmful effects on skin or clothing. The field of photobiomodulation has also been extensively researched for decades, with over 400 clinical trials conducted, over 7,000 laboratory studies performed, and over 30 new research papers published each month on the safety and efficacy of photobiomodulation.
The length of your treatment session(s) will depend on your individual issues, needs, and treatment plan. There are different treatment protocols depending on the condition and area being treated. Most treatments range from 15 minutes to half an hour. Please contact us for more information about your specific situation.
