Cold Laser Therapy (Low-Level Laser Therapy)
At Northstone Chiropractic, we integrate state-of-the-art technology with evidence-based care to help you move better. Bioflex® Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, non-toxic treatment designed to support your body’s natural recovery processes.
What is Bioflex® Laser Therapy?
Bioflex® utilizes specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to interact with your cells. Often referred to as Photobiomodulation (PBM) or Cold Laser Therapy, this technology does not produce heat and is completely painless. It is designed to provide your tissues with the energy needed to repair and regenerate.
How It Works: Supporting Your Cells
When the light from the Bioflex® system is absorbed by your tissues, it targets the "powerhouses" of your cells—the mitochondria. This process triggers several key physiological responses:
Increased Cellular Energy: By boosting ATP production, Bioflex® can help damaged cells repair themselves more efficiently.
Enhanced Local Circulation: The therapy supports temporary increases in blood flow, delivering vital oxygen and nutrients to the area.
Natural Inflammatory Support: Bioflex® helps the body manage inflammation and supports the remodeling of soft tissues like tendons and ligaments.
The Northstone Approach
Unlike standard laser systems, our Bioflex® setup uses a combination of large-surface LED arrays and high-intensity laser probes. This dual-step process allows us to affect a larger volume of tissue while also providing targeted care to specific trigger points or deeper structures.
Commonly Supported Conditions
We often use Bioflex® as a complementary tool alongside chiropractic care for:
Soft Tissue Support: Helping with strains, sprains, and repetitive stress.
Joint & Back Care: Supporting mobility in the spine and extremities.
Sports Recovery: Assisting athletes in returning to their activities with less downtime.
Stiffness Management: Helping manage discomfort associated with long-term wear and tear.
Disclaimer: Bioflex® Laser Therapy is a Health Canada-approved technology. Individual results may vary. A thorough clinical assessment is required to determine if this therapy is appropriate for your specific health goals.
