Laser therapy, also known as photobiostimulation , has been used successfully for over half a century as a therapeutic approach in the treatment of a wide range of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, including, among others, disc injuries, concussions, osteoarthritis, sprains and strains, tendinitis, and whiplash.
Bioflex Laser
The BIOFLEX laser system is a highly sophisticated therapeutic device and the most advanced Class 3 B laser system available. Never has a laser treatment offered such sophisticated levels of accuracy, control, and versatility. The BIOFLEX control unit provides exceptional monitoring and adaptability, providing the healthcare professional with unlimited flexibility in the adjustment of multiple parameters to treat the specific needs of each individual patient safely and accurately.
How does it work
Low-intensity laser/photobiomodulation therapy triggers and stimulates many beneficial physiological processes within the cells of injured tissue, including cartilaginous regeneration, DNA synthesis, and improved microcirculation. It has both an analgesic and an anti-inflammatory effect, resulting in significant therapeutic benefits. It is non-toxic, painless and has no adverse effect on the tissue.
The Advantages of Laser/ Photobiomodulation Therapy
- Non-invasive
- Non-toxic
- Easily applied
- Highly effective
- No known negative side effects
The BIOFLEX laser has been approved for use by the FDA and Heath Canada. The CE mark of approval has also been obtained and the manufacturing standards of UL and ISO have been fully observed as well.
What to expect
Clinical research indicates that for most conditions, 20 to 45 minutes is the optimal amount of time per treatment, while 5 to 15 treatments may be required to achieve resolution. Patients generally do not experience any sensations during treatment. Typically, the more acute the injury, the faster the healing time. The more chronic and extensive the condition, the more treatments are required. Other variables that influence the number of sessions required include age and health, activity level and whether the patient is a smoker.
The BIOFLEX laser system’s track record is based on over a million individual applications to date and has shown a significant improvement or cure rate for a variety of conditions The BIOFLEX system is in use today across North America, Europe, South America, and Asia. This system is increasingly used by a growing number of chiropractors, physiotherapists, and physicians. Additionally, the Toronto Raptors, the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Miami Heat, the National Ballet of Canada, and many other organizations have used this technology successfully.
Laser/photobiomodulation therapy may be used in conjunction with chiropractic procedures to facilitate the healing process where indicated.
Vielight Laser
The Vielight laser is primarily directed towards the treatment of concussion and mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). By stimulating the brain with bioenergenics and neurostimulation technology the Vielight laser improves mental acuity and general wellness.
Vielight laser devices uniquely enable light energy to penetrate the cranium (transcranial and intranasal) to reach and stimulate the brain. Brain photobiomodulation (PBM) delivers near-infrared light to neurons and stimulates neuronal mitochondria, which increases levels of cellular energy. This results in improved efficiency in neural signaling and communication.
Vielight technology can modulate and alter brainwaves using NIR electromagnetic (light) energy measured through an electroencephalogram (EEG ).
