Laser Therapy

Laser Therapy

Laser Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or Cold Laser Therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to promote healing and reduce pain in the body. It involves directing specific wavelengths of light to targeted areas, which penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular repair. Laser therapy is commonly used in physiotherapy to treat musculoskeletal conditions, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue regeneration.

 

How Laser Therapy Works

 

1. Light Absorption

How It Works:

The laser device emits light at specific wavelengths, which is absorbed by the body’s cells. This light energy is converted into chemical energy, stimulating the cells to repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and enhance healing. The process targets damaged tissues, promoting faster recovery.

Effect:

Boosts cellular metabolism and regeneration

Increases production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of cells

Enhances tissue repair and growth


2. Reducing Inflammation

How It Works:

Laser therapy helps to modulate inflammatory responses by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory chemicals. The light energy penetrates deep into the tissues, reducing swelling and inflammation in injured or painful areas.

Effect:

Reduced swelling and inflammation

Alleviates pain caused by inflammation

Faster recovery from injuries and surgeries


3. Pain Relief

How It Works:

Laser therapy stimulates the release of endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers) and blocks pain signals sent to the brain. This helps reduce acute and chronic pain, making it an effective alternative to medication for pain management.

Effect:

Immediate relief from pain and discomfort

Reduction of pain in muscles, joints, and soft tissues

Long-lasting relief for chronic pain conditions
