DESCRIPTION OF LASER LIGHT THERAPY:

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) uses light to trigger photoreceptors in the cell causing protein and
collagen synthesis, resulting in rapid regeneration and healing of damaged tissue. Increased cellular
metabolism and improved circulation enable the body to remove toxins and replenish nutrients more
efficiently. There are over 2500 research publications confirming the clinical effect of LLLT. We offer
specialized treatments using the Vectra Genysis Laser. Five laser diodes treat deeper symptoms and
four light emitting diodes treat surface symptoms. This non-invasive treatment is a safe and effective
way to temporarily relieve many common problems including aches, pains, muscle spasms and
tightness; while improving circulation and healing. A typical treatment session takes 5-10 minutes
for a localized area; with 3 sessions per week on average. However, clients with chronic or severe
symptoms would benefit from treatments on a daily basis for 1-2 weeks.
