THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS of LLLT
● Increases blood capillary circulation and vascular activity by promoting improvement in the metabolism of nitric oxide (NO). This facilitates increased vasodilatation and leads to the formation of new capillaries. This in turn provides additional oxygen and nutrients to accelerate natural tissue healing processes and eventually evokes a cascade of beneficial biochemical processes.
● Stimulates the synthesis of adenosine tri-phosphate, (ATP)—an immediate energy source for muscle contraction and is essential in the metabolism of all cellular processes and life support systems.
● Relaxes muscles reduce nerve excitability and stimulate nerve transmission.
● Reduces scar tissue and stimulates wound healing.
● Increases lymphatic system activity and relieves edema and discomfort associated with swelling.
● Stimulates the production of collagen, the most important component of wound healing.
● Increases RNA/DNA synthesis, stimulating cellular reproduction to accelerate the replacement of damaged cells.
● Increases production of endorphins from the brain; promoting mood elevation and stress reduction.
● Stimulates the production of adrenals, which facilitates long-term resilience to stress.
● Reduces inflammation and swelling in chronic conditions of arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis.
● Stimulates fibroblastic activity, promoting repair of connective tissue and formation of collagen fibers.
