What is Laser Therapy?

Laser Therapy,or “photobiomodulation”, is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser Therapyhas been widely utilized in Europe by physical therapists, nurses and doctors as far back as the 1970’s. Tissue that is damaged and poorly oxygenated as a result of swelling, trauma or inflammation has been shown to have a positive response to laser therapy irradiation. Deep penetrating photons activate a biochemical cascade of events leading to rapid cellular regeneration, normalization and healing.

Use of Class IV laser include the following

◆ Biostimulation/Tissue Regeneration & proliferation -
Sports Injuries,Carpal Tunnel Syndrome,Sprains, Strains,Nerve Regeneration ...
◆Reduction of Inflammation -
Arthritis,Chondromalacia,osteoarthritis,plantar fasciitis,Rheumatoid Arthritis,plantar fascitis,Tendonitis ...
◆Pain reduction, either chronic or acute -
Back and neck Pain,Knee Pain,Shoulder Pain,Elbow pain,Fibromyalgia,
Trigeminal Neuralgia,Neurogenic Pain ...
◆Antibacterial and Antiviral -
post-traumatic injury,Herpes Zoster (Shingles) ...

Treatment Modes

During a Class IV laser treatment, the treatment wand is kept in motion during the continuous wave phase, and is pressed into the tissues for several seconds during laser pulsation.Patients feel a mild warmth and relaxation.Since tissue warming occurs from the outside-in,Class IV therapy lasers are safe to use over metal implants. After treatment,a clear majority of patients feel some change in their condition: be it pain reduction, improved range of motion, or some other benefit.
