Low Level Laser Therapy works in the same theory as acupuncture using a cold laser to stimulate the acu-points instead of needles. This works with the meridians in the body bringing balance to organs that may not be functioning at optimal levels. The Low Level Laser helps to produce an endorphin release working with the natural opiods in our system giving you a feeling of well-being. This is very similar to the one a smoker may get from taking a drag off of a cigarette or someone who is eating unknowingly for comfort in food. This endorphin release can last for up to several days. The laser helps speed up your metabolism by working at the same wavelength as the mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of each cell, converting energy into its usable form and allowing the maintenance of normal body function and metabolism.

Is Low Level Laser Therapy right for me?

Low Level Laser Therapy has been shown to be very safe for most people. 

Women who are currently pregnant should possibly seek another form of treatment but some state medical boards see LLLT safe if certain areas are avoided. 

Are you currently taking medication or has your health care provider advised you to avoid the sun?  Then a quick test with the laser and a short wait would be in order to see if you are able to have LLLT.

Unless you are working with an oncologist its not advisable to have the laser treatment in areas that you currently have tumors.

Have you had a steroid injection in the past couple of weeks?  Its best to wait then for LLLT to make sure its effective.
