LASER = Light Amplification by
Stimulated Emission of
Radiation.
The ancient Greek physicians used "Light Therapy." They noticed
that direct sunlight aided in the healing of fractures. Today
we know the ultra-violet rays in sunlight stimulate vitamin D.
Vitamin D enhances the absorption and utilization of calcium that
is responsible for bone health. Therefore, using laser (light
waves) to aid in healing is not a totally new idea.

The wavelength of the therapeutic laser beam is
much different from that of the surgical laser beam.
It affords deep tissue penetration but will not cut nor burn
tissue. The wave stimulates energy production in the injured
cell. As the injured cell's energy increases, it is able to
heal more rapidly. Laser therapy helps: 1) Relieve Pain, 2)
Reduce Inflammation, 3) Accelerate Tissue Repair and Wound Healing,
4) Inhibit scar tissue formation, 5) Improve Nerve Function and 6)
Regulate the Immune system.
Therapeutic Laser Treatments are non-invasive and
non-painful. The patient is awake and only needs minimal
restraint. The treatments are short, no more than 20 minutes,
and can be performed during a scheduled office visit. Laser
therapy is a great addition to, and sometimes can be a substitute
for, medical or surgical treatment.
Buford's tail was
amputated because of a large tumor. The laser treatment speeds
healing and reduces pain.
Sam suffers from
arthritis. Regular laser treaments keep him comfortable and
mobile.
Little Ed had a
ruptured disk. Laser treatments speed healing and help with
post surgical discomfort.
Tom's gums will
feel much better after the laser treatment.
