High Power Laser Therapy: How Does it Work?

High Power Laser Therapy: How Does it Work?

Research biologists describe the healing process in the following way.

1. Reduced blood flow deprives human tissue of oxygen and glucose.

2. The powerhouse of the cell (the mitochondria) needs this oxygen and glucose to manufacture energy (ATP.)

Without ATP (adenosine triphosphate) the cell cannot function (e.g. a muscle cell cannot contract or relax) and it cannot repair components of the cell that have been damaged.

Simply stated,

NO OXYGEN + NO GLUCOSE ⇒ NO ENERGY ⇒ NO HEALING.

The Solution
Laser therapy bypasses the blood stream and delivers laser energy to light receptors (photoreceptors) within the mitochondria. The mitochondria accepts this energy and uses it to create ATP, which the cell can use to power the healing process.

LASER STIMULATION OF MITOCHONDRIA ⇒ ENERGY PRODUCTION (ATP) ⇒ HEALING

Treatment with the Avicenna Laser is pain-free. The patient experiences only a gentle warming spa-like sensation over the surface of the skin.
