BioFlex Laser Therapy
The technology is utilized by many high profile sports franchises including the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Toronto Raptors, the Miami Heat, the National Ballet Company and many individual athletes. It has become an extremely effective treatment for various conditions in both the young and old.
HOW LONG DOES A TREATMENT TAKE?
Treatments are typically thirty minutes to one hour in duration depending on the condition being treated.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?
The number of treatments will depend on the chronicity and the extent of the pathology involved. Based on the genetic makeup of the cells, an individual’s response to LILT will vary to some degree. A recent clnical review, including 1,000 consecutively treated patients, reveals the average number of treatments to be 9.4.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Unlike most pharmaceutical solutions and other therapeutic options, laser therapy is non-toxic, non invasive and in over one million individual treatments, no significant adverse effects have been noted.

THE TECHNOLOGY OF LASER THERAPY
The technology utilizes superluminous and laser diodes to irradiate adnormal tissue with photons; these particles of energy are absorbed by a variety of molecules resulting in the conversion of light into biochemical energy. Multiple positive physiological responses are thereby initiated and normal cell morphology and function are restored. This process is curative and eliminates symptoms (ie. pain, edema, etc.)
The physiological effects of LILT include an increase in the production of:
- DNA synthesis
- The protein building block essential to the process of cell regeneration
- Collagen
- Increase tensile strength of muscles, tendons and ligaments
- ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
- The fuel of the cell required in facilitating cell metabolism
- Endorphins
- Morphine like substance produced by the body to reduce the sensation of pain
- Cortisol
- (Cortisol is the precursor of Cortisone) this enables the body to combat stress associated with trauma or the disease process
- 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
