What is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy is the application of low-level laser energy to achieve a variety of clinical outcomes. The effects of LLLT are photochemical, not thermal. Photons that penetrate the skin are absorbed by the mitochondria of the cell. The mitochondrial once stimulated by the application and infusion of light energy produce enzymes and ATP. Cells communicate and operate using chemical signals known as enzymes. All of the enzymes produced are those naturally used and produced by the cell. They are produced in the ratios and quantities normally used by the body. In human tissue, the resulting photochemical reaction produces an increase in the cellular metabolic rate, which expedites cell repair and stimulation of the immune, lymphatic and vascular systems. The inflammation, edema, and an overall reduction in healing time is decreased.

It is used in many Medical applications, and is now generally accepted worldwide as an effective treatment.

"I had back surgery that did not help the constant pain in my low back. I couldn’t stand for any length of time so I had to retire. I was told about the Decompression Therapy and decided to try it. Dewey Spine Center put me on their decompression machine about two years ago and it has made my back so that I can now do many of the things that I want to do. The staff at Dewey Spine Center has been very helpful in giving me back a better quality of life."
