Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS THE LASER THERAPY CENTER?
The Laser Therapy Centers at Natural Horizons Wellness Center is dedicated to the elimination of pain and other acute and chronic health issues. Rather than simply focusing on symptoms, the conventional approach to pain management, our laser therapy program uses a low intensity laser of specific wavelengths and power. The laser works at the cellular level to ameliorate pain and restore the cells to their normal functioning state.
WHAT IS LOW INTENSITY LASER THERAPY (LILT)?
Low Intensity Laser Therapy is the use of monochromatic light emission from a low intensity laser diode (250 milliwatts or less), or an array of high intensity super luminous diodes (providing total optical power in the 1000-2000 milliwatt range). The light source is placed in contact with the skin allowing the photon energy to penetrate tissue, where it interacts with various intracellular biomolecules resulting in the restoration of normal cell morphology and function. This also enhances the body’s natural healing processes.
