How can Cold Laser Help?
Cold Laser Therapy, also known as Low level laser therapy is a painless, non-invasive, drug-free treatment which is used to treat a variety of pain, injuries, wounds, fractures, and neurological conditions. Laser therapy can be used for the control of pain, when drug therapies have not worked, or when healing is not as fast as it could be.
Cold laser therapy is rapidly becoming the go to therapy that can heal wounds and fractures up to 60% faster and also reduce the cost of treatment for many conditions. Laser Therapy has become the treatment of choice for soft tissue injuries.
How Does Laser Light Heal?
Light therapy was reported to be effective for many conditions. With the development of the laser and its energy properties, using light as a treatment has become very popular. This is because we can now use specific wavelengths of light and give accurately measured doses of energy directly to the appropriate treatment area.
Low level lasers supply energy to the body in the form of non-thermal photons of light. Light is transmitted through the skin's layers. When low level laser light waves penetrate deeply into the skin, they optimize the immune responses of our blood. This has both anti-inflammatory and activates the immune system.
What to Expect During a Laser Therapy Treatment Session
For most people, laser therapy is very pleasurable. The most noticeable sensation is the touch of the probe head of the laser, as it comes in contact with the skin.
Some patients have noted that they are able to sense a slight feeling of warmth, But most patients have no sensation at all.
Following a laser therapy session some patients being treated, can notice an immediate improvement in their pain. This is based on the length of time the condition has been present.
The more chronic the condition, the longer it takes to respond. The majority of conditions treated will take 10-20 treatments. It may take 3-4 sessions before a change is noticed.
The Science of Light
BioFlex Laser Therapy utilizes scientifically developed and clinically tested protocols that maximizes the effectiveness of treatment to a wide range of pathologies. The technology utilizes superluminous and laser diodes to irradiate diseased or traumatized tissue with photons. These particles of energy are selectively absorbed by the cell membrane and intracellular molecules, resulting in the initiation of a cascade of complex physiological reactions, leading to the restoration of normal cell structure and function.
In the short term, the body produces and releases beta-endorphins to control the sensation of pain. Cortisol production is increased to combat the stress associated with the trauma or disease process. Over the long term, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production is increased resulting in improved cellular metabolism. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) production, the protein building block of tissue, is substantially increased. Neurotransmission is facilitated secondary to elevated levels of serotonin and acetylcholine. Mitochondrial activity is stimulated resulting in cell replication for replacement, regeneration and repair of abnormal cells. And other cellular level changes take place.
The process results in the elimination of symptoms, including pain, and enhances the body’s immune system response, facilitating natural healing.
