Laser Associates is a state of the art facility, and the first clinic in the Rockford area, utilizing Laser Therapy for pain management. Our clinics tranquil atmosphere reflects an organization truly committed to helping people overcome their pain. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) treatments for pain are safe, drug free and highly effective. Results can be immediate and quite dramatic in the relief of pain where conventional methods have failed. LLLT has been shown to heal injuries and strains up to 70% faster than conventional treatment methods.

LLLT is a form of photo therapy or light therapy. This involves the application of low power light to areas of the body in order to stimulate healing. It is also known as cold laser, soft laser or low intensity laser. The reported physiological effects of Laser are decreasing pain, decreasing inflammation, increasing circulation, increasing collagen synthesis, increasing granulation tissue, and increasing nerve regeneration.

LLLT increases cellular production of Adenosine Tri phosphate, known as ATP, which effectively speeds recovery. The introduction and efficacy of Laser treatments is quickly being heralded, throughout the medical community, as a viable and extremely effective treatment modality. Numerous professional athletes such as Lance Armstrong, the NFL, MLB and NBA teams now count on LLLT to treat their sports related injuries, and reduce rehabilitation times. In many instances, LLLT is and can be a viable alternative to surgery.

Laser treatments are highly effective in the treatment of chronic and acute pain, and facilitate the body’s natural healing process. Dramatic improvement in musculoskeletal disorders such as neck and lower back injuries, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, neuropathy, rotator cuff injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, and general and localized pain in joints of the hanks, elbows and feet, and other associated pains, respond extremely well to this treatment modality. LLLT works immediately and limits the number of return clinic visits in obtaining the desired results. Patients are able to alleviate pain, obtain faster results and get back to their normal daily routines much more quickly. Each individual case is different and therefore, the program administered is dependent on the severity of the condition.

Photons, which are particles of electromagnetic energy, are emitted from the low power laser. These particles enter the tissues and are absorbed in the mitochondria, which are tiny structures within the substance of each individual cell. The energy is converted to chemical energy within the cell. The permeability of the cell membrane changes which in turn produces various physiological effects and responses. These physiological changes affect a variety of cell types including macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and mast cells.

LLLT also increases serotonin levels which allow the body to heal itself. LLLT is non-thermal and non-invasive, and one of the most effective healing therapies in the medical community today. Generally completed in one to three sessions, LLLT therapy is not only significant in reducing treatment times; it is cost effective as well.

LLLT works at a cellular level, naturally and without drugs, resulting in:

Increased local circulation
Induced collagen synthesis which accelerates the healing process
Inhibition of painful sensations that pass through the spinal cord to the brain
Increased immune system functionality by stimulating the body’s natural repair process

What does this mean for you? You will experience a number of chemical and biological effects triggered by the Laser’s light which results in a decrease of pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with acute and chronic musculoskeletal/joint dysfunction.
