“Cool Laser Therapy“

 
 

What is “Cool Laser Therapy”?

It’s our laser system!

It’s really cool because of the number of conditions it treats, and how effective it is!
That’s why we decided to call it that way.

You may have seen the terms Cold Laser Therapy, or Photo-biomodulation, or Low Level Laser Therapy. They all refer to the same technique: using light emitted in a specific way in the Red and Infrared spectrum, at levels that do not produce any heat, but induce a healing cellular response.

The Nature of Things with David Suzuki has a show, “The Brain’s Way of Healing”, featuring our laser model called Bioflex. The BioFlex system is designed and manufactured in Canada using leading edge technology, by Meditech International Incorporated.

What is it good for?

It has been shown that this form of therapy reduces inflammation, and heals diseased tissues.

Patients have seen improvements and healing of conditions such as:

  • Injuries, wound repair, surgical scars

  • Joint pain, arthritis, back and other body pains

  • Skin conditions: diabetic ulcers, eczema, dermatitis, cosmetics

  • Neurological conditions: traumatic brain injury (concussion), headaches, neuro-degenerative diseases

How does it work?

The light emitted by our system promotes healing at the cellular level.

It helps resolve pain and other symptoms, without any side effects. It reduces inflammation, promotes tissue repair, decreases pain, reduces edema, improves mobility, and reduces the need for medication.

This form of laser therapy has been used since the 1950’s, so thousands of scientific studies have shown its benefits. When Red and Infrared light is emitted on our body, it penetrates several centimetres beyond the surface, boosting the function of mitochondria in all cells that are illuminated. This reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and increases the energy production of all cells (ATP, the energy unit of the cell is produced inside the mitochondria).

“Cool Laser Therapy” is pain-free, non-invasive, and 100% natural.
There is no side effect, and it can be used even if you have a metal implant, a surgical mesh, an artificial joint, or a pacemaker.

What should I Expect?

The effect of Cool Laser Therapy is cumulative: it takes several treatments to see results.

Typically, your therapist may prescribe a course of 3 treatments a week for 3 weeks, then 2 treatments a week for 2 weeks, then once a week for 2 weeks. Often, maintenance / preventative sessions once a month are recommended. The first session lasts 90 minutes, and the following sessions will likely be 45 minutes.

We combine “Cool Laser Therapy” with Acupuncture. That’s quite unique, and gives you the benefit of two natural therapies in the same session. They complement each other perfectly!

You will receive an Acupuncture receipt showing Laser Therapy as an adjunct modality included in the treatment. You can claim this under Acupuncture with your health benefits.

Most clinics have an additional charge for Laser Therapy. We don’t!
We include it in the price of our Acupuncture sessions, at no extra cost.
