CONDITIONS WE TREAT
All forms of injury whether acute or chronic, cause complex biophysical and biochemical changes. While most injuries will heal, the pace of healing is likely to be influenced by genetics and overall medical condition. Natural biologic processes are involved in healing, and these require energy to occur. The laser light provides a source of energy that our cells absorb that increases the rate of healing, promotes improved blood flow, and even the formation of new blood vessels.
The body’s energy is produced from the oxygen we breathe in and from the food we eat. But what actually happens is complex biology occurring in every cell’s mitochondria producing ATP molecules that transport chemical energy to the rest of the cell so the biology of life continues. Specific laser light adds to the energy formation improving the processes necessary for healing and reducing inflammation that damages cells.
ROS = reactive oxygen species PKD= NF-kB=nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (controls transcription of DNA, cytokine production and cell survival). IkB= family of related proteins that inhibit protein synthesis. AP-1 regulates gene expression in response to cytokines, growth factors, stress and infections
