Anti-Inflammation
Laser Therapy reduces inflammation with vasodilation,
activation of the lymphatic drainage system, and reduction of
pro-inflammatory mediators. As a result, inflammation, erythema,
bruising, and edema are reduced.
Analgesic Effect
Laser Therapy of diseased and damaged tissue produces a suppression
of nociceptors, an increase of stimulation threshold, and an
increased release of tissue endorphins. The result is a decreased
patient perception of pain.
Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth
Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and
accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. Laser light increases
the energy available to the cells so that they can take on
nutrients and get rid of waste products more quickly.
Improved Vascular Activity
Laser light significantly increases the formation of new
capillaries in damaged tissue. This speeds the healing
process, resulting in more rapid wound closure.
Increased Metabolic Activity
The energy from photons of laser light is captured by chemical
complexes within cells resulting in activation of enzyme systems
and increased energy delivered into cellular metabolic
processes.
Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points
Laser therapy stimulates muscle trigger and acupuncture points
without mechanical invasion to provide musculoskeletal pain
relief.
Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation
Laser Therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue.
Improved Nerve Function
Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue results in
numbness and impaired limbs. Laser therapy accelerates nerve cell
regeneration.
Immunoregulation
Therapy laser photons have an effect on immune systems status
through stimulation of immunoglobins and lymphocytes. Laser
therapy energy is absorbed by chromophores (molecular enzymes) that
react to laser light. The enzyme flavomono-nucleotide is
activated and starts the production of ATP, which is the major
carrier of cellular energy and the energy source for all chemical
reactions in the cells.
Faster Wound Healing
Laser light stimulates fibroblast development. Fibroblasts
produce collagen, which is predominant in wound healing in damaged
tissue. Collagen is the essential protein required to replace
old tissue or to repair tissue injuries. As a result, laser therapy
is effective on open wounds and burns.
