Retraining your body”s nervous system utilizes the latest technology available.

Laser Technology

And now we get to lasers. Through lots of experimental means, scientists and product developers have figured out how to use safe laser technology to help with pain. In a combination of light and heat therapy, lasers can target specific areas and give a fair amount of pain relief, though the underlying science behind this is not always well understood.

Virtual Reality Potential
