Pain Relief
The temporary inhibition of nerve conditions and nerve fibres.
Tissue Repair
Increased regeneration of skin, muscle, tendons, ligaments, bone and nerves.
Reduce Inflammation

Completely safe
Without side effects
Pain-free (often used by Vets)
Heat-free
Effective
The evidence supporting the use of laser therapy continues to grow and so does its clinical applications in health.
Low Level Laser therapy is used to reduce inflammation, accelerate tissue healing and reduce pain.
