Physiological Effects of LILT

The Physiological effects of LILT include an increase in the following:

DNA synthesis - the protein building block essential to the process of cell regeneration

Collagen production - increase tensile strength of muscles, tendons and ligaments

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - the fuel of the cel required in facilitating cell metabolism

Endorphins - morphone like substances produced the body to reduce the sensation of pain

Modulation of cellular components involved in the healing process - i.e. macrophages, fibroblasts, lymphocytes, etc.

Stimulation of:

- Immune response

- lymphatic drainage (reduction in edema)

- angiogenesis - formation of new capillaries and arterioles resulting in improved circulation/tissue oxygenation
