The Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy

• Non-Toxic
• Non-Invasive
• Easy to Apply
• No Side Effects
• Safe Aplication
• Cost Effective for Practitioner and Patient
• Highly Effective
• Growing Acceptance of Laser Technology
• Superior Alternative to: Analgesics, NSAID’s, Other Medications, Other Modalities
• Reduces Need for Surgery

Therapeutic Laser Biological Effects

Rapid Cell Growth – Laser light accelerates cellular reproduction and growth.

Faster Wound Healing – Laser light stimulates fibroblast development and accelerates collagen synthesis in damaged tissue.

Increased Metabolic Activity – Higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells and thus greater production of the basic food source for cells, Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP).

Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation – Laser light reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from: cuts, scratches, burns or post surgery.

Anti-Inflammatory Action – Laser light reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints to give enhanced joint mobility.

Increased Vascular Activity – Laser light induces temporary vasodilation increasing blood flow to damaged areas.

Stimulated Nerve Function – Slow recovery of nerve function in damaged tissue can result in “dead” limbs or numb areas. Laser light speeds the process of nerve cell reconnection to bring the numb areas back to life.

The Advantages Of Low Intensity Laser Therapy

• Non-invasive
• Non-toxic
• Easily applied
• Highly effective
• No known negative side effects

The Physiological Effects Of Low Intensity Laser Therapy

Short Term Effects

Production and release of beta-endorphins (these are morphine like substances produced by various cells in the body that inhibit the sensation of pain).

Cortisol production is increased (cortisol is the precursor of cortisone). This enables the body to combat the stress associated with trauma or the disease process.

The short-term effect is significant in 5-10% of cases during or after the conclusion of the initial treatment, but is not as important as the long term or cumulative effect.

Long Term Or Cumulative Effect

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production is increased resulting in improved cellular metabolism

DNA (deoxyribonucleicacid) production; the protein building block of tissue is substantially increased

Neurotransmission is facilitated due to elevated levels of serotonin and aceytylcholine

Mitochondrial activity is stimulated resulting in cell replication etc. (i.e. replacement, regeneration and repair of abnormal cells)

Modulation of macrophages, fibroblasts and other cells

Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)

Regulates cell membrane potential, essential in Na, Cl and K ion transfer (electrolyte balance)

Cytokines and other chemicals enhancing cellular communications are released

Other Effects

• The immune response is stimulated
• Lymphatic drainage is improved
• The histamine response is positively altered
• Production of growth hormone is increased
• The body’s natural healing processes are enhanced

The beneficial physiological changes noted above are the result of cellular stimulation and tissue regeneration. Many other positive activities are modulated including the humoral and cerebral spinal fluid effects which are highly significant and are currently under investigation in research laboratories in order to accurately delineate the scientific aspects of this process.

HIGH INTENSITY LASER & ROBOTIC SCANNING SYSTEM

The automated HIGH INTENSITY LASER, so-called ROBOTIC SCANNING SYSTEM delivers the most gentle and effective pain management to your patients! The healing effect of laser light is based on biostimulation and speeding up cell processes that contribute to pain suppression and faster injury recovery. The unique combination of 10 W power and a 1064 nm wavelength allows for targeting deep-lying tissues, maximizing pain relief and delivering strong thermic therapies within a short time.
