Laser Therapy
The diverse tissue and cell types in the body all have their own unique light absorption characteristics. They will only absorb light at specific wavelengths and not at others. Light energy initiates the process of photobiostimulation, whereby the photons of light initiate a series of chemical reactions at the cellular level. These reactions increase the metabolic rate of the cell, which in turn speeds the process of cell repair. The net result of the therapy is pain relief, as a result of increased endorphin release. A reduction in inflammation and edema, as a result of an increased lymphatic system response. As well as an overall reduction in healing time as a result of an increased immune system response via an increase in lymphocyte activity.
The Lasotronic® Power Laser™ marks a breakthrough in portable, battery powered LLLT Lasers history. It can deliver up to <100mW output power when equipped with a 810nm infrared diode The system allows for multi-purpose therapy applications thanks to its beam characteristics and with high incident photon density on small spots, larger spots with lower incident photon density. The unit features 5 variable output settings, so the unit can be used in a variety of treatment scenarios.
Research indicates that many acute and chronic conditions can be improved or eliminated through phototherapy. The following are conditions that have proven to respond well to Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT):
- Chronic Pain
- Acute (traumatic) pain
- Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI)
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
- Tennis/Golf elbow
- Sport Injuries
- TMJ disorders
- Neck and Back pain
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Fibromyalgia
- Non-healing ulcers
- Soft Tissue Injuries
- Acne, Eczema
- Herpes Simplex
- Inflammatory Skin Conditions
- Hematomas
- Burns
- Post-Operative Wounds
- Soft Tissue Swelling
