Laser therapy works by emitting low levels of light that are absorbed by the body's tissues. This light energy is then converted into biochemical energy, which stimulates natural cellular processes. The process, known as photobiomodulation, aids in reducing inflammation, accelerating tissue repair, and relieving pain.
The photons of light emitted by the laser penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the cells, promoting the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is essential for cellular function and regeneration. This ATP production enhances cellular metabolism, leading to an increase in cell repair and regeneration.
Moreover, this therapy can stimulate the production of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers, providing relief from pain. Additionally, laser therapy can help to stimulate nerve cells to block pain signals, contributing to pain reduction.
Overall, laser therapy works by promoting natural healing processes at the cellular level, reducing inflammation, and providing pain relief, making it a valuable treatment option for various conditions in pets.
