IMPROVE OUTCOMES ON NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION
Laser Therapy, also known as Photobiomodulation (PBM) or Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to modulate cellular activity, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair. In functional neurology, PBM is valued for its ability to enhance mitochondrial function, support neuroplasticity, and improve outcomes in neurological rehabilitation.
HOW IT WORKS
-
Photon Absorption: Red and near-infrared (NIR) light (600–1,100 nm) penetrates tissue and is absorbed by chromophores (primarily cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria).
-
Cellular Effects:
-
Enhances mitochondrial respiration and ATP production
-
Modulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress
-
Stimulates nitric oxide (NO) release → vasodilation, improved circulation
-
Reduces neuroinflammation by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines
-
Promotes neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, and axonal repair
-
Alters neural network excitability → may influence pain and ANS regulation
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Neurological and Systemic Applications
-
Established and emerging uses:
-
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) & concussion – improved cognition, reduced post-concussive symptoms
-
Stroke rehabilitation – supports recovery by improving neurovascular coupling
-
Neurodegenerative conditions (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, MS) – neuroprotective effects, symptom management
-
Peripheral neuropathy – reduces pain, promotes nerve regeneration
-
Chronic pain and myofascial dysfunction – reduces inflammation and improves tissue healing
-
Autonomic dysfunction & dysautonomia – modulation of ANS tone reported in clinical settings
