What Does Laser Therapy Mean?
Over 4,000 scientific papers and 500 clinical studies have validated the advantages of Laser Therapy.
BIOFLEX® Laser Therapy employs scientifically formulated and clinically trialed protocols to optimize the treatment of a broad array of clinical pathologies. Laser technology employs super-luminous and laser diodes to address diseased or injured tissue with photons. These energy particles are selectively absorbed by the cell membrane and intracellular molecules, triggering a series of complex physiological responses that lead to the restoration of normal cell structure and function.
LLLT, also referred to as cold laser, low intensity laser therapy or photobiomodulation, is FDA approved. Unlike high intensity lasers, laser therapy doesn't heat or cut tissue. While many drug treatments merely conceal pain or just treat the symptoms of a disease, laser therapy targets the root cause or pathology to encourage healing. Consequently, these treatments are effective, and the advantages of laser therapy have a long duration.
Clinical Studies Overview
Over 1200 human clinical trials have been published in peer reviewed journals evaluating the benefits of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) for arthritis, tendinopathies, sprains, strains, wound healing, fractures, peripheral neuropathies, injured nerves, traumatic brain injuries, temporomandibular joint and numerous other disorders. As a result of these studies, there are 10 clinically proven benefits claims for the BIOFLEX® family of photobiomodulation medical devices
