Laser Therapy of Oklahoma is conducting a clinical research study for smoking cessation/weight loss
How Laser Therapy Works
Low level laser therapy aims to biostimulate. Because of the low power nature of low level lasers, the effects are biochemical and not thermal and thereby cannot cause damage to living tissue. Four distinct effects are known to occur when using low level laser therapy:
A: Growth factor response within cells and tissue as a result of increased ATP and protein synthesis; Improved cell proliferation; Change in cell membrane permeability to calcium up-take.
B: Pain relief as a result of increased endorphin release; Increased serotonin; Suppression of nociceptor action.
C: Strengthening the immune system response via increasing levels of lymphocyte activity and through a newly researched mechanism termed photo modulation of blood.
Laser is an acronym of “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation”
Cold Laser Therapy
Laser therapy devices were initially developed overseas to treat many forms of sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions, release and control pain, provide improved wound healing and for laser acupressure without the use of needles.
Low level laser therapy has proven to be very effective for many conditions that have not responded well to other forms of treatment. A low powered laser procedure does not cut or burn into the skin or affected areas. It stimulates the tissues and promotes healing by penetrating deep into the tissues initializing the process of photobiostimulation. Low level laser is limited to investigational use at this time. Call us to see if you qualify for our clinical trial.
