When cells are exposed to photon energy, cellular
charges are induced to change the cell homeostasis. This entails a
cascade of reactions influencing a number of components of the respiratory
chain. (i.e. cytochromes and cytochrome oxidase) which are the primary
photo acceptors or chromophores, resulting in absorption of therapeutic
wavelengths. This causes short term activation of the respiratory
chain, leading to changes in redox status and in turn the activation
of enhanced synthesis of ATP. The photons also affect hydrogen ion
levels in the cell, in combination with increased ATP, affects the
cell permeability and flow of sodium, potassium, and calcium. These
changes are necessary to control the proliferative activity of the
cell.
Some of the unique healing effects of MedX Phototherapy include:
- Increased cell metabolism
- Improved localized blood circulation
- Development of collagen and muscle tissue
- Relief from acute and chronic pain
- Reduced localized inflammation and edema
- Stimulation for wound healing and tissue repair
- Stimulation of the immune system
- Stimulation of nerve function
