At Vibrational Healing Arts of San Diego, joint and soft tissue pain is often treated with a synergy of ancient Chinese medicine and state-of-the-art, laser technology. Fast, safe, effective, and completely non-invasive, this treatment is performed by moving a hand-held, laser emitter in a circular motion over the affected area. The red and near infrared light beam is absorbed by cells and converted into biochemical energy that yields therapeutic effects some patients can see and feel after the very first treatment.
How Does Laser Therapy Work?
Laser therapy is similar to the process of photosynthesis, whereby a plant converts sunlight energy into chemical energy. A laser light beam’s electromagnetic energy is converted to chemical energy at the cellular level, stimulating a series of reactions that enables the natural healing process to begin in human tissue. Used in countries around the world for over thirty years, this FDA-approved technique is clinically proven to:
- Diminish pain and stiffness
- Reduce inflammation and swelling,
- Facilitate faster tissue regeneration, and
- Improve blood circulation.
Are There any Side Effects?
No. The laser simply stimulates and energizes the cells. During treatment, goggles are worn to protect eyes from the combination of red and near infrared light, but the procedure is completely painless and non-irritating to the skin. In fact, similar therapies have been used in the treatment of varicose veins, cellulite, acne, wrinkles, psoriasis, tissue repair/cell regeneration, skin ulcers, diabetic ulcers, burns, and postoperative wound care.
