Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
Also known as low level laser therapy (LLLT), is a medical technique in which exposure to low level laser (red and near infrared) light or light emitting diodes stimulates cellular function, leading to beneficial clinical effects.
Every cell in the body has one or many thousand cellular power plants called the mitochondrion. These mitochondria are responsible for providing most of the required ATP for cells.
ATP is the chemical responsible for energy release within cells that drives a multitude of cellular and physiological functions including those directed related to injury repair and pain relief.
The application of red light and near infrared photo energy stimulates healing, improves impaired sensation (paresthesia), and relieves pain without sensation or side effects.
