Laser Therapy Treatments in Brookfield, WI

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) involves the application of red light and near infra-red light over injured tissue to improve soft tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and provide pain relief for both acute and chronic conditions. LLLT is popularly used for soft tissue injuries, joint conditions, and neuropathy, as well as non-healing leg and pressure ulcers.

Laser therapy or photobiomodulation therapy, the best technical term, light waves have the ability to penetrate into the human body and create physiological & biochemical effects similar to photosynthesis in plants.  The primary mechanism occurs in the mitochondria (the cellular power plant inside every human cell). When cells undergo stress (possibly due to injury or aging), the mitochondria produces nitric oxide. This creates a chemical cascade that reduces ATP, which is the energy fuel for the cell. It also causes an over production reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leads to oxidative stress. Research shows this stress leads to inflammation and cell death.

What Does LLLT Do?

Laser Therapy, when used in the correct wavelength and density, restores ATP levels and reduces oxidative stress. The increased ATP levels restore proper mitochondria and cell function. Once this occurs cell metabolism improves, and the patient gets better more quickly.

Three benefits of LLLT are improvement of injured tissue healing, reduction in inflammation, and an analgesic effect.

The combination of LLLT and sports chiropractic care leaves patients feeling better faster and returning to their activities quicker than ever!
