Others

• Temporomandibular Joint Disorder(TMJ)

Are There Any Side Effects?
Unlike most pharmaceutical solutions and other therapeutic options, laser therapy is non-toxic, non-invasive and in over one million individual treatments, no significant adverse effects have been noted.

How Many Treatments Are Required?
The number of treatments will depend on the chronicity and the extent of the pathology involved. Based on the genetic makeup of the cells, an individual’s response to LLLT will vary to some degree.

The physiological effects of LLLT include an increase in:

DNA synthesis

• the protein building block essential to the process of cell regeneration

Collagen production

• increases tensile strength of muscles, tendons and ligaments

ATP (adenosine triphosphate)

• the fuel of the cell required in facilitating cell metabolism

Endorphins

• morphine like substances produced by the body to reduce the sensation of pain

Modulation of cellular components involved in the healing process

• i.e. macrophages, fibroblasts, lymphocytes, etc.

Stimulation of:

• immune response
• lymphatic drainage (reduction in swelling)
• angiogenesis – formation of new capillaries and arterioles resulting in improved circulation / tissue oxygenation
