Why Laser Therapy?

Around the world, laser therapy is rapidly becoming the choice for patients, non-invasive, and drug free treatment for a wide variety of injuries, pain syndromes, neurological conditions, and pathologies. It can heal wounds and fractures up to 60% faster and reduce the cost of treatment for many conditions. In the UK it has become the treatment of choice for whiplash injuries and shingles.

What is laser therapy?

Laser Therapy send accurately measured, non-thermal photons of light to the appropriate treatment site.

These light waves supply energy to the body as they penetrate up to 4 inches of the skin’s layers, optimizing the immune responses of the blood. This has anti-inflammatory and immunostimulate effects, supplying vital oxygen and energy to every cell. This enables the cells to heal and repair themselves at a greatly accelerated rate.
