Low-Level Laser Therapy

Low Level Laser Therapy (3LTTM), commonly known as LLLT, is a form of phototherapy which involves the application of low power coherent light to injuries and lesions to stimulate healing. Low Level Laser Therapy (3LTTM) is used to increase the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair, resolve inflammation, increase range of motion and give pain relief.

Erchonia Medical is the leading research company on lasers and they are the developer of 3LTTM technology. Cold laser therapy is a major advancement in healing and is rewriting the medical books on what is possible for chronic injuries, pain management, neurological impairment, and facilitating the healing process in disease conditions.

Why the Erchonia GVL Laser?

• Most Effective Technology: The GVL laser is the first and only TGA-cleared green wavelength laser proven to reduce pain and inflammation
• Unique Mechanism: The green wavelength is the only one that directly impacts Complex 3 in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC), a critical step in the body’s production of ATP. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is often referred to as the energy currency of the cell because it powers nearly all biological functions in the body.
• Clinically Proven Results: Shown to increase range of motion (ROM) and decrease pain with fast, lasting effects.

How Does Low Level Laser Therapy work?

• The Erchonia laser uses low-level visible light to elevate electrons to higher energy levels, This process is called molecular excitement, which occurs when visible light photons interact with electrons in your body’s cells. These photons match the energy needed to move electrons to a higher state, allowing key chemical reactions to take place.
• One crucial reaction happens when photons of light push an electron to a higher energy level, allowing it to be captured by an electron acceptor. This action is part of the Electron Transport Chain (ETC), which uses these high-energy electrons to convert ADP into ATP, the energy source your body relies on to function. The ETC is the primary pathway for producing ATP and is essential for maintaining your overall health and vitality.

The mitochondria are the “Powerhouse” of the cells and make ATP which is needed for the life enhancement process of every cell which facilitates:

• Rapid cell growth. The laser accelerates cellular reproduction and growth.
• Faster wound healing.
• The laser stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue.
• The reduction in recovery time is an important consideration.
• Increased metabolic activity. Helps the body increase output of specific enzymes, greater oxygen to blood cells and more effective immune response are induced by laser.
• Reduced fibrous tissue formation. The laser reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns, or following surgery.
• Anti-inflammatory action. The laser reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints to give improved joint mobility.
• Increased vascular activity. The laser stimulates lymph and blood circulation, to allow the affected tissue to have the best possible circulation.
• Stimulated nerve function. Slow recovery of nerve function in damaged tissue can result in “dead” limbs or numb areas. Laser will speed the process of nerve cell reconnection to bring the numb areas back to life. Laser also increases the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle action.
