Align Healing Center has been successfully utilizing Cold Laser therapy and Class IV Laser therapy for a profound effect on reducing pain and healing time. Therapy lasers supply therapeutic energy in the form of light which is absorbed by the cells. Therapeutic laser light causes an increase in cellular energy within the weakened or damaged cells, therefore increasing the cells ability to heal. The cascade of beneficial effects that take place with laser therapy is: marked reduction in pain, endorphin release, improved cellular metabolism, improved circulation, reduction of inflammation, improved tissue healing and improved nerve function. More than 2000 research studies have been conducted to date demonstrating the benefits of laser therapy.
