Quantum Wave Laser Therapy

 QWL Specialty Therapies offered:

It has been scientifically shown that when the body is holding stress, it can cause blockages in the body which can lead to imbalance and dis-ease. QWL Therapy gently and effectively unwinds stress, tension and old holding patterns out of the body and clears cellular memory to support perfect healing.

How QWL works?

To understand in a very simplistic way:

Our bodies produce energy right at the heart of each cell in the mitochondria….and the mitochondria’s function is to produce ATP ... The amount of ATP produced is a reflection how much energy we have available in our bodies to carry out such actions as to heal, repair and live our lives from day to day. It quite literally `charges` our cells with energy. Without it we would not be able to do anything.

What will stimulate the cell to produce more ATP are photons of light. This QWL does exactly this…..it quite literally donates energy in the form of photons of light which transforms damaged cells to healthy cells. Hence when the cells are healthy, the body knows how to efficiently repair itself and does so at an incredibly accelerated speed allowing you to discover more balance and energy. Results are often felt during the treatment.

Another way to look at this is... When the body has an injury the cells are damaged and fail to function within normal parameters. Low level lasers penetrate deeply into the skin and work by restoring this abnormal cellular function. Physiologic effects include improved metabolism, circulation and tissue healing.

Unlike high-power medical lasers, which are widely used to cut and burn tissue, The QWL penetrates the surface of the skin with little or no heating effect and no potential tissue damage. The energy is directed deep into the treatment area stimulating the body's cells which convert the light energy into chemical energy to promote natural healing.

What happens during a treatment?

Quite simply, a short consultation is taken, you will be asked to lie down and relax in your most comfortable position and the laser will be placed on various parts of your body, preferably next to the skin. You will feel a state of relaxation and a soothing warm feeling. It is completely painless and non-invasive. The results have been phenomenal, assisting your body to heal long-term injuries and conditions very quickly.

Currently, there are over 25 different cold lasers or LLLs that have been approved by the FDA and Health Canada for various types of treatments including the QWL. Cold lasers have been in use around the world for over 30 years and have been in use in the North America for over 15 years. Low level laser therapy or cold laser therapy has been proven completely safe in over 5000 worldwide studies.

How many treatments would I need?

Depends upon the circumstances. 6-10 sessions at 1-3 times a week is recommended for most issues.

Common Treatable Conditions

Neuromuscular Skeletal conditions are common in all of us. We can all experience sprains, strains and pain that just won't go away resulting from repetitive strains in our work place or from trauma in our everyday lives. Pain and inflammation are things we've grown to accept as something we probably will just have to live with. The QWL is a modern therapeutic technology that heals injuries safely and effectively on a cellular level.

The QWL can penetrate up to 4 inches into tissue, to promote cellular regeneration at the source of injury. Laser energy helps to repair damaged cells by accelerating the body's natural healing mechanisms. Depending on the severity of the injury, you can return to an active lifestyle pain-free within a few weeks versus months or years of life altering pain.

Arthritis

No clinically tested modality is proven to be more effective for arthritis than low level laser therapy. While arthritis is a chronic condition without a cure, low level laser treatments can provide substantial relief from symptoms by reducing inflammation of the joints, eliminating pain, increasing range of motion of the joints and improving immune cell production and efficiency.

Low level lasers reduce inflammation in arthritis-affected joints by stimulating the lymphatic system, which drains interstitial fluid from tissues located in the injured area. Laser treatments also regenerate immune cells called lymphocytes. The lymphatic system carries these lymphocytes to the injured area where they destroy infection and inflammation.

Wound Healing

Laser treatments accelerate each of the three phases associated with the natural healing of wounds: inflammation, proliferation and collagen synthesis. The result is a reduction in pain, inflammation reduction, increased stimulation of connective tissue and increased capillary production leading to improved blood flow during proliferation.

Despite the pain associated with this stage, the inflammatory phase is necessary for tissue repair. First, in the area of the wound, there appear platelets and white blood cells to coagulate the blood and stop blood loss. Next, an increased number of white blood cells known as macrophages clean the area and remove dead tissue by engulfing and destroying foreign matter and damaged cells. Macrophages also release products (known as "factors") that stimulate proliferation - the second step of wound healing.

Proliferation activates fibroblasts and production of small blood vessels. Fibroblasts are connective tissue cells that form the basis of new tissue. A special kind of fibroblast is the myofibroblast or muscle cell that during muscular contraction diminishes the surface size of the wound. This process is known as collagen synthesis. This is the final step of wound contraction, where the tissue starts to contract and return to its normal appearance.

What happens when a laser is placed on an open wound?

Laser treatment accelerates the different healing phases, preserving only the necessary components of the inflammatory phase, resulting in a shorter inflammatory reaction causing less pain. Laser stimulates the fibroblasts during the proliferation phase, speeds up production of small blood vessels and increases circulation temporarily.

Greater blood flow equals more efficient delivery of oxygen and fuel molecules to the area and a faster removal of waste products; thus allowing a greater production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - the basic energy source of a cell. The final result is a greater production of blood vessels through the growth of new tissue. Laser also accelerates the absorption of a haematoma through the stimulation of prostacyclin.

Addiction Rehabilitation + Weight Loss

Low Level Lasers provide effective treatment for smoking, drug and alcohol addictions, as well as weight loss, through stimulating specific points in the ear causing the brain to release neurotransmitters (such as endorphins and dopamine) that help to break the addiction cycle.

Using the principals of ear acupuncture (auriculotherapy), targets specific ear points to induce the brain chemistry to release neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin and endorphins (the pleasure chemicals of the brain) to travel to different sections of the brain, which help to break the addiction cycle by eliminating cravings from addiction withdrawal.

Anti-Aging

Low level laser is designed for anti-aging, facial rejuvenation and the treatment of various dermatological conditions. This non-invasive system erases years of lines and wrinkles without surgery or painful recuperation time. By combining laser/acupuncture facial points, treatments optimize skin health and appearance through the production of collagen and elastin, both essential to healthier more youthful skin.

Treatable Conditions: Acne, Herpes Simplex, Psoriasis, Rosacea, Sutures, Keloids, Scarring, Wrinkles, Stretch Marks, Post Surgical Healing: Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, C-Section
