Optical Therapeutic Laser — The Non-Surgical Solutions

We use a medical grade optical laser system that effectively enhances the neuron's energy performance at cellular level. It is the only product on the market today that is providing the best wave length to effectively penetrate bone.

The main focus of cold laser treatments is to stimulate the cells to heal the correct way, promoting the repair and regeneration of the treated tissue. This process uses the following two methods:

• Stimulating the mitochondria with your cells (photobiomodulation)
• The release of nitric oxide from blood vessels that increases blood flow to the treated area (angiogenic effect)

Additionally, Low Light Laser Therapy is based on two principles:

• Watt = power
• Joules = energy Joules, or energy, delivered to tissue is what stimulates healing.

How Does It Work?

Lasers that produce lower watts will deliver fewer joules requiring longer treatment times and more treatments to achieve the correct dose or joules to promote healing.

At Hecker Sports Medicine™, we use a powerful laser allowing for shorter and fewer treatments to achieve effective dosing.

Two of the major results we can achieve are:

Regeneration — Full restoration of tissues without scarring, restoring full function to injured tissue.

Repair —By healing the area without scarring improves tissue mobility and pliability which increases function and reduces the risk of future injury.
