Laser therapy, also termed photo-biostimulation, is simply defined as light exciting or activating cells. The application of laser, red and infrared light over injuries or wounds improves soft tissue healing by accelerating cellular metabolism to reduce pain, swelling and inflammation and speed up your recovery. Overall, laser therapy improves blood circulation, promotes anti-inflammatory properties, reduces edema, produces analgesic effects and stimulates injured tissue to heal quickly and effectively.

- Acute or chronic inflammatory pain syndromes
