What is Bioflex Laser Therapy?
The BioFlex laser is the most advanced laser system available. The body uses the energy produced by low intensity light emissions to help repair damaged cells and to return them to normal function. The therapeutic light helps heal your condition at its root rather than just controlling the symptoms. Laser therapy can help treat musculoskeletal problems, the arthritides, sports injuries and dermatological conditions. When a tissue (muscle, tendon, ligament, nerve, etc.) is injured, pain and inflammation are the result. The laser therapy is extremely effective at decreasing inflammation and pain and is one of the most advanced technologies out in the market today to promote a fast and healthy healing response.

What to Expect
Laser therapy sessions are either 30 minutes or 45 minute sessions. You do not feel any pain with the laser therapy sessions; at most you will experience a slight warmth to your skin. A typical treatment plan typically varies between 3-10 sessions. However, more complicated cases may take up to 20 treatments. The more acute the injury, the faster the healing time. The more chronic and extensive the condition, the more treatments required. There are also other variables that factor in the number of sessions required, such as your age, activity level, smoker, etc.
