What is Low Level Laser Therapy?
Our Erchonia® lasers use low-level light in the visible spectrum to stimulate natural healing through light therapy. These lasers have incredible versatility, treating a wide range of conditions. In addition, it is an excellent tool for overall health and well-being due to the lasers' stimulation of the mitochondria.
How can laser help me?
Reducing pain and inflammation.
The stimulation from the laser light into the mitochondria increases your ATP production. ATP is the primary energy source for a majority of cellular functions. The ATP activates cell recovery enzymes, reduces inflammation & restores normal cell function. The stimulation of the mitochondria also releases NO (Nitric oxide), a potent vasodilator that increases circulation, decreases inflammation, and enhances the transport of oxygen and immune cells throughout the tissue.
What conditions does the laser treat?
Low-Level Laser Therapy has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. In our Catoosa chiropractic office, this type of therapy is often used to treat conditions such as:

How is a laser used in a chiropractic office?
