SHORT TERM EFFECTS
· Production and release of beta-endorphins (these are morphine like substances
  produced by various cells in the body that inhibit the sensation of pain)
· Cortisol production is increased (cortisol is the precursor of cortisone). This enables
  the body to combat the stress associated with trauma or the disease process.
· The short term effect is significant in 5-10% of cases during or after the conclusion of
  the initial treatment, but not as important as the long term or cumulative effect.

LONG TERM OR CUMULATIVE EFFECTS
· ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production is increased resulting in improved cellular
  metabolism.
· DNA ( deoxyribonucleicacid) production, the protein building block of tissue is
  substantially increased.
· Neurotransmission is facilitated due to elevated levels of serotonin and
  aceytylecholine.
· Mitochondrial activity is stimulated resulting in cell replication etc.
· Modulation of macrophages, fibroblasts and other cells.
· Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels).
· Regulates cell membrane potential, essential in Na, CL, and K ion transfer (electrolyte
  balance).
· Cytokines and other chemicals enhancing the cellular communications are released.

OTHER EFFECTS
· The immune response is stimulated.
· Lymphatic drainage is improved.
· The histamine response is positively altered.
· Production of the growth hormone is increased.
· Stimulation of the healing process is accompanied by relief of symptoms.

It should be noted that many other positive physiological activities are modulated and extensive research is currently in progress to fully explore these changes.

LILT, and the BioFlex Laser in particular, is the safest and most effective way to eliminate pain. It doesn’t just treat the symptoms, it heals the cells. Regardless of age or how long a condition has been present, if it is soft tissue in nature (muscle, tendon, ligament, nerve, blood vessel, lymphatics and the covering of bone), you have a better than 80% probability that you will feel better.
