Laser Therapy

We are pleased to offer Theralase low level laser therapy at Coastline Health and Performance.
This modality is used by our chiropractors and physiotherapists in conjunction with other treatments including manual therapy and exercise prescription.

Theralase® therapeutic laser treatments provide patients with a safe, effective and painless therapy that uses the body's own natural healing systems to relieve pain, increase joint mobility, increase tissue integrity and promote cell regeneration.

Theralase® lasers offer treatment for acute and chronic pain conditions. Our lasers help you
regain the active and healthy lifestyle you yearn for by utilizing the power of light energy.

How do therapeutic lasers work?

Therapeutic medical lasers heal tissue ailments by injecting billions of photons of visible and /or
invisible laser light deep into tissue structures. Tissue naturally contains protein strands called
chromophores and cytochromes located in the mitochrondria of a cell, which have the unique ability to absorb laser light energy and transform it into chemical energy for the cell. This chemical energy is utilized by the tissue to significantly accelerate the healing process and reduce pain in the body naturally.
