Photobiomodulation therapy uses lasers to stimulate targeted areas of the brain. It offers a non-invasive way to treat many neurodevelopmental, neurobehavioural or neurodegenerative disorders.
From DC’s Superman to X-Men’s Cyclops, we associate lasers with superheroes.
But they have many other uses – in manufacturing, retail and medicine.
Light can be powerful. There are many physical processes where light induces chemical reactions, including:
light interacts with photosensitive cells in your retinas, which convert the light energy into electrical signals that are transmitted to the visual processing areas of your brain
when you’re in the sunshine, ultraviolet B light strikes your skin causing a reaction that converts a form of cholesterol to vitamin D3, which helps your body absorb calcium
You come into the clinic and sit in a comfy chair wearing a special cap or headband with clusters of LEDs (light-emitting diodes) at specific locations to target the chosen areas of your brain.
Laser therapy has been used to relieve some symptoms of many different health difficulties.
There are countless differences between a child with ADHD and a senior with Alzheimer’s – age, life experience, interests and many other factors. But there’s at least one thing they have in common – difficulties with working memory.
We rely on working memory for many aspects of daily life, including:
Light therapy offers a non-invasive way to enhance working memory, which may make many aspects of life run more smoothly.
At Neurofit Brain Centre, we use many evidence-based therapies designed to stimulate the chosen area of the brain. Often, we’ll use several of these at once (co-activation) giving your brain the maximum opportunity to form new neural pathways and strengthen itself.
After a thorough assessment, we’ll recommend a program of treatment that may include laser therapy, which may help retrain your brain and relieve some of the symptoms that trouble you.
