Neurophysiology is the study of how the nerves work.
Applied Neurophysiology is the clinical application of a scientifically advanced, safe,
and painless form of medical therapy using red light to gently stimulate the
acupuncture points, which effectively reduce pain, increase the immune response
and promote healing.

PHOTONIC THERAPY

Photonic Therapy is the Scientific Application of Light to areas of the skin (which have previously been called acupuncture points), to activate a particular physiological result.

WHAT IS AN ACUPUNCTURE POINT
An acupuncture point is an area of the skin of increased electrical conductivity, the stimulation of which can change the body’s function, by releasing neurochemicals from the brain.

HISTORY OF PHOTONIC THERAPY
It was only in 1989 that sufficient detailed scientific information was available to fully understand the interaction of light with tissue. In 1990 it was possible to introduce a rational, scientific, advanced method of medical treatment.
By understanding scientifically how light (a form of electro-magnetic radiation) interacts with tissue, explanations can now be given for the results achieved by physical therapists working with low level laser therapy, or the effects of some chiropractic manipulations such as the Bowen Technique, deep tissue massage or acupressure.

WHAT IS A PHOTON
When light travels through air it is described as moving in very small waves, which are measured in nanometers (nm). However, when light moves through other substances such as tissue, it must be considered as if the energy was contained in little packets or photons, discovered and named by Einstein.

HISTORY OF PHOTONIC THERAPY
The energy of light (photons) is transformed into electrical energy by the connective tissue under our skin. This electrical energy is transmitted to the brain by the nerves. Stimulating specific combinations of points on the skin will cause the brain to release particular hormones and other chemicals to relieve pain, increase immune response and promote healing.

TREATMENT
Photonic Therapy treatment consists of stimulation of skin areas, two or three times weekly for 5 to 10 seconds per point. Usually only six to eight treatments are required for most conditions.
