Low Energy Photonic Therapy (LEPT) - Laser Therapy

The concept of the healing powers of light is seen throughout ancient, traditional healing practices. Well science is catching up and over the past 50 years has been documenting that certain types of light can actually heal.

Laser Light and LEPT are monochromatic (one colour of light and one wavelength at a time). Laser is also coherent-all the waves travel in the same direction instead of spreading out from a light source.

These characteristics give light some special capabilities.

LEPT has been shown by studies to speed up healing of skin wounds, muscle strains, and injured nerves. Light of different characteristics is useful for different effects. Laser also can decrease pain very rapidly. It is a painless, gentle form of therapy that is favored by athletes and sports teams. It can shrink swollen joints and even give relief in arthritic joints. Research is ongoing to determine if the therapy actually slows down the progression of arthritis.

Recent advances have allowed the use of home units for daily treatments.

I use LEPT-lasers in my practice with very good effect.
