Laser therapy works on the power house of the cell the mitochondria.

January 9, 2026

Back in high school many students learn about the power house of the cell call the mitochondria. These are extremely important organelles of the cells. They function in keeping vitality to the cell and bringing energy to every aspect of once life. When the mitochondria becomes dysfunctional it can lead to severe problems. Our class IV laser therapy can rejuvenate the function and vitality of the mitochondria. This will help alleviate nerve pain and prevent cellular death. It will allow for regeneration of tissue as well as vascular ingrowth of tissues.  Thus, the mitochondria is extremely important and our class IV laser therapy can help with these. We also use stem cells which can also rejuvenate and help alleviate damaged tissue.
