Laser Therapy In Nashville

What is Advanced Light Therapy?

Advanced Light Therapy, a blend of chiropractic and physical therapy techniques, utilizes specific light wavelengths to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. It addresses tissue damage and dysfunction effectively.

Understanding Advanced Light Therapy in Nashville

This therapy operates through increased blood flow, delivering oxygen to cells. It activates the lymphatic system to reduce swelling and inflammation. By boosting ATP production, the primary energy source for cells, it enhances cellular function and disrupts the pain cycle, providing immediate relief.

Advanced Light Therapy is beneficial for a broad spectrum of acute and chronic conditions. It notably diminishes swelling, aiding in fluid movement via lymphatic drainage. Recognized by the FDA in 2003, Class IV Advanced Light Therapy is a cornerstone in treating musculoskeletal injuries. Its deep tissue penetration, reaching over four inches, tailors treatment duration to the problem’s severity and duration. While some issues are resolved in a single session, others, particularly chronic or deep-rooted ones, may require up to 10 sessions.

Endorsed by prominent entities like the American Physical Therapy Association and the International Association for the Study of Pain, Advanced Light Therapy is side-effect-free and 

offers lasting results.
