The lasers used in LLLT are typically small (often handheld) units, and unlike surgical and aesthetic lasers, do not heat the targeted tissue. Instead, LLLT emits low levels of light that are absorbed by your mitochondria (the energy-producing organelles in many of your cells), which then can increase cellular energy production and ultimately help heal surrounding tissue. This process is comparable to plant photosynthesis, during which sunlight is absorbed by plants and converted to energy for the plants to grow.
Low-level laser therapy may sometimes provide an effective alternative to surgery or medications—without accompanying side effects. It can help regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and increase immunity, and research has shown its efficacy in treating many conditions, including:
There are no known side effects of LLLT when used properly. User guidelines include:
It typically takes a series of LLLT sessions to produce results. Unfortunately, many insurance providers do not cover LLLT at this time.

In the March 23, 2020 statement from the government, they suggested that Physiotherapists can continue to provide “emergency care “only. At this time we cannot provide treatment until the Ontario government and Public Health Ontario advises that it is safe to resume care. At this moment we provide free video call assessment with our clients to help and guide them on what to do in this situation that they can’t access outpatient Physiotherapy. Our Physiotherapist is available for a free consultation. Call us at 905-571-1921.
