Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
2023 is bringing on some exciting changes at Align! I am thrilled to announce that beginning on January 12, we will be expanding our services to include Deep Tissue Laser Therapy.
I spent a lot of time researching these latest advances in health and technology...mainly to ascertain whether or not they were full of sh*t. (We all know that so many of these things are). What I discovered is that Deep Tissue Laser Therapy is pain treatment that works, and the science behind it is fascinating.
I would be more than happy to bore you with the exact physiological mechanisms of the healing cascade (see pg. 3), but in the interest of time and the knowledge that Bill Nuy the science guy wasn't everyone's favorite TV show when they were kids...here are the important takeaways:
What is it?:
Laser therapy is a surgery-free, drug-free option for individuals suffering from both acute and chronic pain. Treatments are fast, safe, and painless.
People see results in 3 to 5 treatment sessions and can expect notable pain relief with the effects lasting longer after each treatment -- meaning the effects are layered/compounded.
How it works:
Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process within the cell called photobiomodulation(PBM). During PBM, the light interaction triggers a healing biological cascade of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism and a decrease in both pain and inflammation.
Who Likes it?:
Laser therapy is endorsed by professional clinical organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO), American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), and the International Association for the Study of Pain(IASP®) with over 3,000 research studies having been conducted in the field. Pro sports teams and high level athletes swear by it for recovery and rehab.
