Low intensity laser therapy speeds up the recovery process by delivering light energy (photons) to the cells. The cells use this energy to assist in the natural healing process. This process is also known as laser therapy or photobiostimulation. It is painless and has been in use for over 20 years with no known side effects.
With
laser therapy, we treat you at the cellular level. Laser therapy
increases circulation, lymphatic drainage and gives cells the energy
they need to repair themselves. There are over 2,000 research papers on
the effectiveness and therapeutic benefit of laser therapy.
Low
intensity laser therapy has proven to be highly effective when treating
a wide range of conditions, musculoskeletal injuries, degenerative
diseases, arthritis, joint replacement rehabilitation, back pain, ankle
injuries, knee injuries and/or knee pain, whiplashand certain dermatological conditions.
We have found that many patients have obtained full recovery at the
end of their treatment plan. Even patients that have tried numerous
other treatments and surgery can benefit from laser therapy. Conditions treated with laser therapy include:
General
repetitive stress injury.
carpal tunnel syndrome.
rotator cufft.
earepicondylitis.
fibromyalgia.
reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction.
headaches & migraines.
Injuries
ligament and tendon tears.
fractures with associated soft tissue injuries.
facet joint syndrome.
bulging and herniated discs.
contusions.
Inflammatory
tendonitis.
myositis.
synovitis.
bursitis.

Beneficial Affects of Laser Therapy
Production
and release of beta-endorphins. These are morphine like substances
naturally produced by cells that inhibit the sensation of pain. Most
chronic pain patients report that they sleep better after their first
treatment as a result of this effect.
Cortisol production is
increased (cortisol is the precursor of cortisone). This enables the
body to combat stress associated with trauma or disease process.
Increased circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Chromophores
are light absorbing photoacceptor molecules that play a key role in
converting harvested light energy to chemical energy for use in cellular
functions.
Pain relief.
Reduced swelling and inflammation.
Mitochondria
activity is stimulated resulting in an increase in cellular
proliferation, regulation of the cellular redox state (much biological
energy is stored and released by means of redox reactions), steroid
synthesis, heme synthesis & apoptosis.
Increased cell
membrane permeability, resulting in an influx of charge-dependent Ca2+
ions that can lead to an increased rate of respiration resulting in the
increase of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) production.
The increase in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production leads to acceleration of glucose metabolism.
Angiogenesis is increased (the formation of new blood vessels).
Regulates cell membrane potential, essential in Na, Cl and K ion transfer (electrolyte balance).

Testimonials
John S
Being from Bowmanville, it frustrates me to think how much time I wasted before going to SpineWise my back pain. I had tried everything from pain medicines, OTC pills to stretching exercise but nothing seemed to be working. Finally with treatment from Spinewise, the pain and related problems subsided in record time. I have been enjoying my pain free life since the time I started my treatment. From daily chores to frequent business travels, these physical activities doesn’t scare me anymore. What attracts me the most is that the treatment is not only extremely effective but I was able to get off all those pain pills!

My sciatica pain was so annoying. I could not walk, run or just sit at my office chair. It was such a nightmare. Then a friend of mine recommended Spinewise, so off I went. Dr. Sharda began treatment with some newer technologies that I’d never seen before. Dear Lord…..thanks for that technology! Within a few weeks my sciatica had resolved and I’m back in office…working…travelling and doing all the chores. Thanks SpineWise!

I loved driving and I am an Uber driver by profession. But it isn’t easy to drive around with that killer headache tearing your head apart. I am putting my passengers and myself at risk. This is unprofessional and selfish…..I mean how could I put my passengers at risk….I cannot focus…my eyes turn red…the skull keeps thumping….this is so bad. One of my passengers told me to check out SpineWise. I am already on so many pills…how’s it going to change anyways…Strange and surprising…in just three sessions at the clinic and my headaches have lessened and I’m on way less pills . The whole team there is just great!
Ellen S
I had a severe neck and shoulder pain, soon after I had a whiplash injury from a minor accident. My husband had been going to SpineWise and had brought me here. I underwent a very thourough assessment and x-rays. All information was conveyed to my insurance company and lawyer. The methods they use to treat whiplash are gentle and effective thanks to their technologies. Within a few weeks, my pain was gone! Thank you for the great care and support I receive.

Just a few weeks back, my wife lost her balance and collapsed. She kept complaining about dizziness and whirling sensation. We thought she was having a heart attack but the hospital cleared her of that. A colleague from work referred us to Dr Sharda at SpineWise. After some x-rays and other tests they were able to determine that she had vertigo and it was coming from her neck. . With just a few adjustments and absolutely no pill, her vertigo is gone!
Tesha S
I work at one of those killer desk jobs…I sit all day…9 hours straight. I was getting muscle aches and pains everywhere! I blamed it all on my lack of exercise. It was getting really bad so I went to my MD who diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. I was always tired and yet I couldn’t sleep at night because of the pain. I found SpineWise in my online research and it sounded like they knew what they were doing, so I went. Long story short, they do know what they are doing. Thank you SpineWise!

Heel spurs were making walking a chore. I could hardly walk and being in retail, I was in a bad spot. After trying almost every type of treatment and pill over a few months, I had lost hope and had decided to quit my job. It was during this time that I visited SpineWise. They figured out that I was off kilter and putting more load on one side. Using orthotics, chiropractic, laser and some good home recommendations, I am not back on my feet! SpineWise is awesome!

Imagine a helpless dad who 14 years old daughter couldn’t stand up straight and always complained of intense back pain. Her family doctor diagnosed her with growing pains, but I knew it was more than that – something wasn’t right. After spending an hour on google, it became clear that I needed to go to SpineWise because they had so many good ratings. Dr. Amit explained that my daughter was suffering from scoliosis and that the type that she had was very manageable. After a few months of care we are able to see a good reduction in the curve and she’s in way less pain. These people know what they are doing.
George M
SpineWise, you guys are the best! My bike accident 3 years back had left me literally handicapped and in grueling chronic pain due to a herniated disc. I could hardly bend, stand straight or even sleep. I did your typical therapy for 3 years and nothing. My girlfriend thought that I should try spinal decompression and I owe her my life. I am done with the first month of treatment and I am a different man. The pain is much less and I’m moving around a lot better and I feel like I have another shot at life!
