Cold Laser
What is laser therapy?
Therapeutic medical lasers heal tissue ailments by injecting billions
of photons of invisible laser light deep into tissue structures. Human
tissue naturally contains protein strands called chromophores,
which have the unique ability to absorb laser light energy and
transform it into chemical energy. This chemical energy is utilized
by the tissue to signifi cantly accelerate the healing process in the
body naturally.
How does laser therapy work?
Therapeutic lasers work by supplying energy to the body in the
form of photons of light and allowing the body to effect its own
repairs. Therapeutic lasers load light energy into the cells and
organize a series of cellular energetic and biochemical reactions
that promote and support the regeneration of cells, collagen
production and the formation of new tissues. This process reduces
pain and infl ammation, improves blood fl ow, stimulates collagen
production and accelerates healing. Generally speaking, the
biostimulating effect of laser therapy is in its anti-infl ammatory,
analgesic and anti-edematous effect on tissues. There is absolute
increase in microcirculation, higher rates of ATP, RNA and DNA
synthesis, and thus better tissue oxygenation and nutrition. There is
also an increase in the absorption of interstitial fl uid, better tissue
regeneration and stimulation of the analgesic effect.
How can laser therapy help me?
Laser therapy offers a safe and non invasive treatment in healing
damaged tissues such as muscle, nerve and bone tissues, and skin.
To reach damaged tissue deeper inside the body, lasers need higher
peak power of penetration. Devices of greater power can provide
better penetration. The peak power of the laser is the most critical
factor in providing adequate depth of penetration. Thus, devices by
USA Laser, which are true pulsed systems, have better penetration
versus continuous wave devices because they have greater peak
powers.
Is laser therapy safe?
Clinical studies show that laser therapy achieves excellent outcomes
in wound healing, reduction of infl ammation and in pain relief. Laser
therapy is painless, non invasive or in any way abrasive to tissues.
It does not cause any trauma or damage to the tissues. Therapeutic
level laser light is cold and does not heat-damage or traumatize
treated tissues in any way. Laser therapy is totally painless, non
ablative, non invasive and non traumatizing.
Are there any harmful side effects?
Therapeutic lasers are becoming increasingly popular as they offer
effective and side effect free pain relief. Even people with persistent
and intractable chronic pain that did not respond to other treatments
are likely to respond well to laser therapy by reducing infl ammation
and swelling and accelerated wound healing, including healing
of stubborn leg ulcers, diabetic foot problems and pressure sores.
As well laser therapy can speed up recovery and healing of sports
injuries and is very useful to people actively participating
