Aspen Laser Therapy:
Science Meets Luxury

Aspen Laser Therapy in Homer

15 watt (980nm or 810nm)

Homer Family Chiropractor offers The Aspen laser; specifically designed to perform superior laser treatments.

How does it work?
When the photons of laser light penetrate the skin, they are absorbed by the cells and converted into energy. Energy is key to helping the cells become normal and healthy. A cascade of cellular events are triggered once the cell membrane permeability is altered including:

• Stimulation of ATP

• Stimulation of respiratory chain

• Increased DNA and RNA synthesis

• Enhanced collagen synthesis

Advantages of Aspen Laser Treatment
No Side Effects!

Rapid/Painless Pain Relief:
The laser light increases blood flow to damaged areas and accelerates the body's natural repair. Unlike many therapy products that only treat symptoms and mask the pain temporarily, the laser goes to the source to help the body heal itself.

Trigger points & Acupuncture Points
Laser Therapy stimulates muscle trigger points and acupuncture points on a non-invasive basis providing musculoskeletal pain relief.

Anti-inflammatory:
The laser reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints to give enhanced joint mobility and reduced pain.

Reduced Scar Tissue:
The laser reduces the formation of scar tissue following damage from cuts, scratches, acne, or burns and post-surgery.

Improved Nerve Function
Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissues can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light will speed up the process of axonal regeneration, nerve cell reconnection, and increase the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle action.

Quick Results:
Some patients receive relief, increased mobility, improved strength or other symptom relief from just the first treatment! While others may experience relief hours or days later, sometimes even after the 2nd or 3rd visit. The amount of pain or injury, the amount of time since the symptom began, and the cause of symptoms all affect the speed of recovery. There are no biochemical side effects blocking the body's response to the light therapy, laser therapy tends to produce faster and more progressive relief faster than other therapies.

What is Laser Therapy used for?
Laser Therapy treats many different things. It has beneficial effects for pain relief, resolving inflammation and increasing the speed, quality, and tensile strength to tissue repair. It has also been proved to increase the immune system, resolve infection and improve the function of damaged neurological tissue. Laser therapy also increases collagen production, bone repair, reducing edema, increasing lymphatic drainage, and increase production of capillary bed. Some other things Laser Therapy treats are:
Arthritis, Shoulder, Head & Neck, Back, Arm & Hand, Hip & Knee, Foot & Ankle, Bell's Palsy, Bunions, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Ganglion Cyst, Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Spurs, Knee Pain, Leg Cramps, Restless Leg Syndrome, Neck Pain, Rotator Cuff, Scar Tissue, Sciatica, Shin Splints, Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, TMD/TMJ

Does it really work?
Aspen Laser System is helping an increasing number of patients throughout the United States and even worldwide find drug free and even surgery free solutions for their health. Each patient receiving laser therapy treatments are unique, but their stories tend to have a lot in common: pain and injury that was dramatically improved and often resolved from the advanced technology of the Aspen Laser System. Thankfully they discovered the benefits and now enjoying a better life.

Why does it work?
Unlike injections and prescriptions which just mask the symptoms and do not treat the injury, High Intensity Laser Therapy delivers light energy units, in the form of photons, to damaged cells. These photons, absorbed by the cell through laser therapy stimulate the mitochondria to accelerate the production Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This biochemical in the cell energy is used to help transform cells from a state of illness to a stable, healthy state. The result is it reduces inflammation, increases blood flow, stimulates tissue growth, and helps aid the body's own healing process.
