Low Level Laser Therapy is a treatment whereby a cold laser is utilized to treat chronic and acute pain.
Low level Laser therapy is used for persons suffering from back and neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, joint pain associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, bursitis, neuropathy, Achilles tendon pain, sprains and strains, carpal tunnel and other associated pains. Cold laser therapy also treats conditions such as TNJ, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) and other inflammatory conditions.
Low Level Laser therapy increases serotonin levels which allow the body to heal itself. It is non-thermal and noninvasive .Laser therapy is one of the most effective healing therapies in the medical community today.
What is Low Level Laser Therapy?
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a form of phototherapy or light therapy. This involves the application of low power light to areas of the body in order to stimulate healing. (It is also known as "cold laser", "soft laser" or "low intensity laser".)
How does it work?
Photons, which are particles of electromagnetic energy, are emitted from the low power laser. These particles enter the tissues and are absorbed in the mitochndria, which are tiny structures within the substance of each individual cell. The energy is converted to chemical energy within the cell. The permeability of the cell membrane changes which in turn produces various physiological effects. These physiological changes affect a variety of cell types including macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and mast cells.
What is it used for?
Soft tissue injuries, including sprains, tendonitis and haematomas
Joint conditions, including arthritis, tenosynovitis and capsulitis
Chronic pain, including Trigeminal neuralgia and chronic neck and back pain
Wound management, including skin ulcers, pressure sores and burns
Skin infections, including cold sores
The laser may also be focused on acupuncture points to assist with smoking cessation and the relief of short or long-term pain.
