Deep Tissue Laser Therapy is a treatment that employs high-powered Class IV lasers to deliver healing red and near-infrared light deep within the body. This light facilitates tissue repair by initiating specific chemical reactions at the cellular level.
This treatment reduces pain and inflammation without side effects!
Laser therapy at the R2 Wellness Group utilizes photo biomodulation, where photons penetrate the tissue and interact with the cytochrome c complex within mitochondria. This interaction stimulates a biological cascade that enhances cellular metabolism and decreases both pain and inflammation. Unlike medications, laser therapy alleviates pain without adverse side effects.
