Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT)

LLLT or “cold laser” therapy is a form of infrared and near-infrared light production that has been extensively studied and approved by the FDA.  When administered to the body it acts to produce photochemical reactions at a cellular level. These reactions have been shown to increase the production of energy (ATP) available to the cell.  This increase in energy improves cellular metabolism, enhances blood flow, increases protein synthesis, reduces inflammation and expedites soft tissue healing rates.

BCPT utilizes the Dynatron Solaris X3 light-therapy device, with its semi-conductor laser and super luminous emitting diodes to produce red and near-infrared light with a wavelength between 630 and 880 nanometers.  This form of LLT has been shown to be most effective in the treatment of pain, inflammation and functional disorders of muscles, tendons and joints (e.g. epicondylitis, tendonitis, joint, and myofacial pain), and for deep-lying disorders in general.
