BIOFLEX LASER THERAPY

The number of treatments will vary with regard to the individual problem as every patient and condition responds to Laser Therapy uniquely. In a recent clinical report on over 1,000 patients treated with the BioFlex Professional Laser Therapy System, patients averaged slightly less than 10 treatments to resolve their condition. In some patients, 1 treatment may be sufficient; however, on average, 3-25 treatments are required. In some cases, additional maintenance treatments may be recommended. Like many other modalities, the total number of treatments depends on the age, severity, chronicity, and nature of the condition as well as factors regarding the patient’s age, overall health, and even exercise levels. 

Insurance coverage for Laser Therapy varies depending on the professional designation and/or qualifications of the therapist and the insurance plan. Every insurance company is different and every plan within each insurance company may vary so so recommend you contact your company and ask if you have coverage for Chiropractic and Physiotherapy, as the Laser Therapy sessions are supervised by those clinicians.

Hundreds of research studies have shown Laser Therapy to be safe and effective. Laser Therapy is non-invasive, non-toxic and non-thermal. Unlike other forms of radiation, Laser Therapy is beneficial rather than harmful to tissue. The BioFlex Laser Therapy system is FDA and Health Canada approved. There are very stringent safety protocols have have to be met to ensure complete and continuous patient safety. (please refer to the BioFlex website for more information on this)

Yes. Laser Therapy should be avoided in the following instances: Over the womb for women in their first trimester of pregnancy (as there have been very little studies on this) Over cancerous tumours (as we do not want to increase angiogenesis and blood flow to such areas)

Meditech International Inc., the makers of the BioFlex Laser System, is highly active in studying the clinical applications of Laser Therapy, particularly for conditions where current medical approaches are ineffective.

BioFlex is a highly sophisticated therapeutic device that combines the benefits of Low Intensity Lasers with Superluminous Diodes for the effective treatment of many medical disorders. Developed and engineered by Meditech International Inc., BioFlex represents the most significant technological advancement in Laser Therapy.

BioFlex Laser Therapy is able to influence the pathology directly at the cellular level, resulting in therapeutic benefits that are long lasting and address the underlying condition or pathology. This is unlike many other conventional treatments which treat only the symptoms or site of pain, without addressing the source of pain.

BioFlex Laser Therapy is being used by an increasing number of physicians, physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, veterinarians, naturopaths and dentists across Canada, the United States, Europe, South America and Asia. Meditech Laser Rehabilitation Clinic currently performs over 800 laser treatments a week, and that number is steadily increasing. The BioFlex Laser Therapy Systems are also currently being used by a number of sports professionals: The Toronto Raptors, The Toronto Maple Leafs as well as the Toronto Blue Jays, the Miami Heat, the Canadian National Ballet Company along with many other high performance organizations utilize the technology as the basic treatment platform for their athletic injuries.

Laser Therapy is an adjunctive treatment to the other modalities. Where the outcomes of GT, ART, and other techniques may be to break down scar tissue and release adhesions, Laser therapy is intended to stimulate the cells to produce more proteins as a process of cell healing. LLLT is not a replacement of those other treatments but rather a supplement treatment to ensure that the cells and tissues heal as optimally as possible.
