Understanding Laser Therapy and Its Benefits
Laser therapy involves the use of laser light to stimulate biological processes, leading to faster healing and pain relief. Unlike surgical lasers, therapeutic lasers use much less power. Their beneficial effects stem not from heat, but from stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Much like how plants absorb sunlight through photosynthesis, body cells absorb the laser’s energy, encouraging the release of pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory chemical compounds.
