What Cold Laser Therapy Does
Through the action of photo-stimulation
of light reactive biological receptors (chromophores) in the body, Low
Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
has demonstrated the ability to significantly accelerate and enhance the
body’s
natural defense and repair components in the presence of injury, inflammation
and certain disease processes. By modifying the effects and limiting
the duration of inflammation as well as enhancing specific repair and
healing
processes, LLLT is consistent in providing pain relief, reducing injury
damage and loss of function, in addition to facilitating more rapid
repair and stronger healed tissue structures. Multiple clinical studies
have
noted the following results of LLLT:
• Increased collagen production
• Enhanced nerve regeneration
• Increased vasodilation
• Reduced inflammatory duration
• Increased cell metabolism
• Increased pain threshold
• Increased cell membrane potential
• Reduced edema magnitude
• Increased microcirculation
• Increased tissue and bone repair
• Increased lymphatic response
• Increased enzyme response
