Understanding the Basics of Lasers

Laser therapy involves the use of visible red and near-infrared invisible light to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. Unlike ionizing radiation, which can cause damage and disrupt the body's cells, laser therapy harnesses the energy of light without harmful effects. By using lasers, which emit a specific color of light, the treatment can penetrate through tissues to reach deeper areas, such as strained muscles, and promote faster healing. The specific wavelength of light used in laser therapy can improve blood flow, speed up cellular metabolism, and enhance the body's repair mechanisms.
