How Does Low-Level Laser Therapy Work?

In a nutshell, Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) causes tissue to heal faster – muscle, skin, and nerve – 66% faster according to most research. LLLT operates under a principle of science known as photochemistry and works at the cellular level. In short, laser saturates the cells with photons of light. When the specific wavelength of red light (635nm) penetrates the mitochondria of the cells, this energizes them to produce several things: -ATP (energy) -Protein synthesis -Blood and oxygen flow -Cell growth and proliferation. As a result, tissues heal faster and pain relief comes quicker. ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) is what runs and repairs the body. All of our body’s activities result from the use of ATP; it’s like gasoline to a car. Mitochondria present a paradox: not only are they the major producer of ATP energy, but they are also the major producer of free radicals. As the mitochondria produce the ATP energy that our bodies require to function, the mitochondria also produce the free radicals that damage and age our bodies. Lasers increase the mitochondrial production of ATP without increasing the production of free radicals. Anything that increases the production of ATP energy will speed healing and improve pain/symptoms.
