Stimulates Analgesic(Pain Relief) Effects Laser therapy creates aprocess known as Photo-Biomodulation whichstimulates celluarinteractions that causes 4main healing effects:Increases CelluarMetabolismCauses Anti-Inflamatory EventsStimulates New TissueFormation whileDecreasing Scar TissueConditionsOffice InfoIntro Page

In those cells, light from thelaser gets absorb by COX whichcleaves the NO from the COXmolecule reversing theinhibition and providing energyfor the cell to function, repair,and reproduce .In the mitochondria of all cellscytochrome c oxidase(COX) isconverted into AdensineTriphosphate(ATP). ATP is theenergy of the cell. This process isknow as celluar respiration.ConditionsOffice InfoIntro Page
