Laser Therapy (EVRL Cold Laser)

The light laser penetrates the cells in your muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons and increases the energy production of the mitochondria in your cells. This leads to faster and greater healing capabilities by your body.

I love this! It’s like our osteopathic philosophy which is about helping your body heal itself. Laser is also like osteopathy in that there are no side effects and it is a drug free treatment.

This is not new technology, it has been around for 15 years or so in America, but it’s finally catching on all across Europe. My laser is special; it is the only laser on the world market that has utilised the properties of red light and combined it with the properties of violet light. This safely makes it a Class 2 Laser, other devices like it have a higher power level diode which creates heat in the tissues. Research has shown that lower power is more effective for healing as it “talks to the body in the same language of light” which is 635nm. There is a whole science around photochemistry which is really fascinating. Together the red and violet light produce better outcomes than the red light alone.

Properties of Red Light:

  • Energises cell activity and boosts metabolism
  • Regulates blood flow and circulation
  • Activates cellular regeneration processes controlled by mitochondria
  • Enhances lipid peroxidation and reduces cholesterol in vessels

Properties of Violet Light:

  • Improves cellular respiration
  • Anti-inflammatory effects
  • Triggers nitric oxide production
  • Activates telomerase (anti-aging!)
  • Optimizes would healing
  • Improves the oxygen utilisation in the tissue

This means it can be effective at treating:

  • Sprains, Strains, Tendonitis, Frozen Shoulder, Bursitis
  • Chronic neck and back pain
  • Muscle trigger points
  • Acute and chronic Joint problems like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Reduction of inflammation
  • Post surgical healing
  • Nerve pains anywhere in the body
  • Fracture healing
  • Planter Fasciitis or Policeman’s heal
  • Carpal tunnel
