Light is fundamental to life. Without it, there would be no sustainable life on this planet. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants use light and convert it into energy. All the useful activities that take place within plant cells require this energy. The conversion of light into useful energy helps to maintain the structural integrity and growth of plants. Ultimately the entire life of plants is fueled by light.
Surprisingly, light is fundamental to cellular function in animal tissue as well. Recent research has demonstrated that animal cells communicate in part via photon, or light energy. It turns out that animal cells, like plants, are capable of harnessing useful energy from certain wavelengths and frequencies of light!
When animal cells are exposed to certain kinds of visible and infrared light, a process analogous to photosynthesis does indeed occur, with some remarkable benefits. This photochemical process enhances the energy state of the cells exposed, and provides for the following general effects:
These enhanced functions combined result in the cells renewed capacity to restore the normal integrity and function of compromised, injured or diseased tissue.
At Just Light Therapeutics, we use the Bioflex, a low level laser/light device. Considered the most advanced technology in its class available today, it delivers computer-controlled doses of specific light wavelengths and frequencies to damaged or compromised tissues. By placing pads, which contain multiple arrays of light emitting, superluminous diodes, directly on the problem area, we can deliver just the right amount and kind of light the body needs to stimulate a vigorous healing response. With a nearly 90% rate of efficacy, there are few approaches that can rival low level laser/light therapy for tissue healing, restoration, and rejuvenation.
Treatment sessions are painless and most often last from 25 to 30 minutes, with certain conditions requiring up to an hour for each treatment. Most problems will respond after 1-3 treatments and completely resolve after an average 8-15 treatments over the course of 2-6 weeks. Often, when properly treated, the initial problem resolves completely, and generally will not recur. All treatments are administered in privacy, with the patient comfortably seated in an easy chair or lying on a padded treatment table. Our staff is always there to assure that each treatment session is done efficiently and promptly, with professional care and attention to your personal and individual needs.
