• Why use Laser Therapy for Addiction?

The basic principal behind laser therapy in treating addictions is a simple one: the laser sends a signal to the brain to begin the immediate production of endorphins the chemicals in the brain that help body to relieve pain or fight cravings. The greater the production of endorphins, the better a person will feel even in the absence of drugs. Removing the substance will deplete the receptor sites with essential neuro transmitters and consequently create cravings. Laser therapy takes care of this issue.

Under normal circumstances, regular endorphin production is slow. Laser therapy is believed to speed up that process and even create an increase in endorphin production, while also increasing serotonin production, another brain chemical that helps a person relax and maintain calm nerves.

The Laser therapy process is entirely external, non-invasive, drug free procedure. The sessions generally last 30 minutes and are completely painless. The effects of the laser therapy will last several days. We do not make promises of miraculous or instantaneous cures. However, we stress on regimen of exercise, deep breathing, and other aspects of a healthy lifestyle that can successfully address addictions.
