Cold Laser Therapy

What is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy is a treatment that has been used for years in europe. So what is it? This is a light therapy that uses light in certain part of the spectrum that stimulate your cells to produce ATP ( Energy) and this is how your body heals.

When the photons of light penetrate the skin and underlying tissue, they are absorbed by the cell, and converted into energy, thereby the cell membrane permeability is altered, this triggers a cascade of cellular events including:

  • Stimulation of ATP
  • Stimulation of respiratory chain
  • Increased DNA and RNA synthesis
  • Increased levels of beta endorphins and serotonin
  • Enhanced collagen synthesis

  • Conditions That Can Benefit from MedX Phototherapy Treatment

    Research demonstrates that phototherapy can be used to effectively treat many conditions. Simulating the body’s natural repair processes using the healing nature of light has been proven particularly effective for certain conditions including:

    Almost all professional teams use it for the treatment for injuries.

    The current research shows that Laser Therapy helps with Carpal Tunnel,Sprains,Strains, Bursidous,Tendonitus and acute and chronic injuries.
