LASER TREATMENT FOR PAIN RELIEF...

The laser has been proven effective in helping to relieve acute and chronic pain and to enhance tissue healing. Laser light is capable of producing distinct physiologic effects on tissue. The low energy laser system has been clinically utilized to stimulate wound and fracture healing, treat inflammatory conditions and obtain analgesic effects.

When the laser is applied to key points on the surface of the skin, muscle tension can be released and circulation of blood can be increased. Stimulating these points triggers the release of endorphins, which are the neurochemicals that relieve pain. As a result, pain is blocked and the flow of blood and oxygen to the affected area is increased. This causes the muscles to relax and promotes healing. In general, patient improvement has been found within the first four treatments.

Because the laser inhibits the pain signals to the brain through a mild, painless stimulation, it has been described as closing the "gates" of the pain-signaling system, preventing painful sensations from passing through the spinal cord to the brain.
Besides relieving pain, the laser can help rebalance the body by dissolving tensions and stresses that keep it from functioning smoothly and that inhibit the immune system.

Laser Point Therapy can now offer treatments for the relief from arthritis, bursitis, gout, migraine headaches, sinus congestion, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression, anxiety, and alchohol and drug addiction.

NOTE: Laser Point Therapy recommends contacting your physician prior to treatment to determine what might be causing your problem.
