Cold Laser Therapies
Laser, also known as low energy therapy (LLLT), in medicine dates back to the late 1960’s. The light from a laser is monochromatic, thus allowing it to penetrate deep into tissue. The depth of penetration is contingent upon the wavelength. The application employed by Dr. Remmel and his staff effects the following:

• Increased cell metabolism (stimulates cell growth)
• Cell regeneration
• Decreases inflammation (swelling), through increased tissue activity
• Revascularization thus reducing fibrous tissue formation
• Stimulates nerve function
