We ask that you wear comfortable clothes to have laser therapy done so that we can easily access the problem area. We’ll do treatment in a curtained area that protects your privacy.
Don’t live with less than incredible health.
The video in this section speaks to the power of laser therapy to effectively treat and resolve symptoms related to both acute and chronic head trauma issues and sport injuries treatments.
Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser or light therapy (LLLT), is the use of light from a low intensity laser diode or an array of Superluminous Diodes to eliminate pain, accelerate healing and decrease inflammation. LLLT is also known as cold laser, low intensity laser therapy or photobiomodulation.
Laser therapy does not heat or cut tissue, unlike high intensity lasers. Many pharmacological treatments mask pain or only address the symptoms of the disease; laser Therapy treats the underlying condition or pathology to promote healing. This means that the treatments are effective and the benefits of laser therapy are long lasting.
Laser therapy can be used to treat a broad range of medical conditions, including musculoskeletal problems, arthritis, sports injuries and wounds, chronic and degenerative conditions.
Treatments can last between 15 minutes to over one hour depending on the condition and area being treated.
The number of treatments will vary with regard to the individual problem as every patient and condition responds to Laser Therapy uniquely. In a recent clinical report on over 1,000 patients treated with the BioFlex Professional Laser Therapy System, patients averaged slightly less than 10 treatments to resolve their condition. In some patients, 1 treatment is sufficient; however, a range of 3 – 25 treatments can be required. In some cases, additional maintenance treatments may be recommended.
As a Chiropractor providing laser therapy as one of our therapeutic approaches, most insured patients will have coverage for laser therapy services we provide.
Hundreds of research studies have shown laser therapy to be safe and effective. Laser Therapy is non-invasive, non-toxic and non-thermal. Unlike other forms of radiation, laser therapy is beneficial rather than harmful to tissue.
Yes. Laser therapy should be avoided in the following instances: over the womb for women in their first trimester of pregnancy and over cancerous tumours.
BioFlex Laser Therapy is able to influence the pathology directly at the cellular level, resulting in therapeutic benefits that are long lasting and address the underlying condition or pathology. This is unlike many other conventional treatments which treat only the symptoms or site of pain, without addressing the source of pain.
The BioFlex Laser Therapy Systems have also been used by a number of sports professionals: The Toronto Raptors, the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Miami Heat, the Canadian National Ballet Company and other high performance organizations.
