Low Intensity Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is the use of monochromatic light emission from a low intensity laser diode or an array of high intensity Super Luminous Diodes to treat musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions and to heal wounds. 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 function and enhancement of the body’s healing processes.

At Three Tides Wellness we use the Bioflex Laser Therapy System which is designed by clinicians for clinicians and is the gold standard in the industry. Approved by Health Canada for relief of pain, spasm, stiffness, muscle relaxation and increased circulation.


HOW CAN LASER COMPLIMENT MASSAGE THERAPY?

Laser therapy is often used in combination with other treatment modalities and provides additional benefits, including reduced inflammation, accelerated muscle tissue healing, improved circulatory functions as well as powerful analgesic effects.
