This laser can penetrate 5 inches deep into your tissue to reach injuries and damaged tissue at a deeper level.  When the laser light interacts with tissue a borage of photochemical reactions occur.  First, the laser causes the mitochondria of the cell to produce ATP, which causes the cells to regenerate faster and results in a faster healing process.  Second, chemical reactions occur which cause vasodialation and brings fresh blood to the damaged tissue.  This will flush out inflammation and stimulate faster healing. Last, the laser will cause reactions that block pain, thus reducing the need for pain medication.  The best part of laser therapy is that it can speed up the healing time and get you back to participating in your sport, workout or hobbies sooner than later.
