Frequently Asked Questions
How does laser therapy work?
When the photons of laser light penetrate the skin and underlying tissue, they are absorbed by the cells and converted into energy. This energy is key to helping the cells to become normal and healthy. As the cell membrane permeability is altered, a cascade of cellular events is triggered including:
• Stimulation of ATP
• Stimulation of respiratory chain
• Increased DNA and RNA synthesis
• Enhanced collagen synthesis
• Increased levels of beta-endorphins
and serotonin
What advantage does laser therapy have over other forms of treatment?
A laser therapy treatment does not require the use of drugs or surgery, and there are no dangerous side effects or risks. Unlike many therapy products that only treat the symptoms and mask the pain temporarily, the therapy laser is able to treat the cause of the pain and injury, helping the body to heal itself. In addition, Laser therapy provides
enhanced treatment outcomes faster than any other treatment modality.
Each laser therapy treatment will:
• Decrease inflammation
• Decreased muscle tightness and
soreness
• Decrease pain
• Increase range of motion and
movement
• Increase faster recovery and healing
How many treatments are needed.
Laser therapy produces results quickly, with improvement often within the first treatment. For many acute conditions 5-6 treatments are needed. Chronic conditions take longer and might require 6-12 treatments. While these are the averages, each person is unique and healing time varies by person and condition. For those with lifelong conditions your doctor may recommend periodic follow-up treatments.
Is laser therapy safe and without side effects?
Laser therapy has been in use for over thirty years around the world. There have been almost no side effects reported. Occasionally some old injuries or pain syndromes may feel aggravated for a few days, as the healing response becomes more active after a treatment.
Are there any safety precautions required?
Because the human eyes absorb light, specially designed protective safety eye-wear is required and is provided for both the person administering the laser treatment and the patient to wear during the laser therapy treatment.
Will the treatment hurt?
There is no pain associated with a treatment and most patients notice a warm, often soothing feeling.
How is “High Intensity Class IV Laser Therapy “better than “Cold Laser Therapy” treatments?
Cold Laser Therapy (Low Level Light Therapy LLLT) was cleared by the FDA in 2001 with low power levels and low dosage treatments. Since that time new scientific and clinical discoveries have led to the development of higher power lasers, including the new High Intensity Class IV therapy laser which can provide significantly higher dosage levels, a key for positive clinical outcomes.
How are laser therapy treatments administered?
Treatments are performed by positioning the laser handpiece either directly on the skin or approximately ½” above the skin and surrounding the area of injury and pain with the laser treatment beam.
Various areas may be treated including:
• Directly over the site of injury or lesion
• Acupuncture points
• Trigger points or tender points
• Nerve roots or superficial nerve tracks
How long will the laser therapy treatment take?
Depending on the condition, treatment times for this drug-free, non-invasive procedure will last on average 5-10 minutes but is based on the size of area, depth of penetration needed and condition being treated.
When can normal activity begin again?
The moment a person leaves the clinic, they may resume normal daily activity. It is important to remember to not overexert for a few days, as the body is still healing.
Will insurance cover treatments?
Laser therapy is not covered by insurance plans. However, there are affordable payment plans available.
Can laser therapy be used with other treatments?
Laser therapy can be used as a single therapy treatment, or as an adjunctive therapy in combination with other manual therapies such as Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, or with devices including decompression therapy, electrical stim, and ultrasound therapy.
Can High Intensity Laser Therapy be used over medical implants or over metal?
Yes, treatments can be safely administered over surgical – medical implants or metal. Since the mechanism of action is photochemical, there is no deep heating involved with the laser treatments. Treatments can be administered post-surgery for faster healing and recovery.
How It Works
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT LIGHT HEALS!
L.A.S.E.R. stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Which means, that it is a transmission of light waves that push through the skin to provide light to the areas of the body that doesn't receive light waves normally. Simply put, LASER removes the roadblocks of your cellular health. These road blocks make it very difficult for the cells to do their jobs. If the cells can't do their job, then the biproduct would be Swelling, Pain, Poor communication to the brain, etc. LASER normalizes cell function so they can do the job that they are designed to do.
TOP 10 BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF LASER THERAPY
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points
Laser therapy stimulates muscle trigger and acupuncture points without mechanical invasion to provide musculoskeletal pain relief.
7. Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation
Laser Therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue.
8. Improved Nerve Function
Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue results in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser therapy accelerates nerve cell regeneration.
9. Immunoregulation
Therapy laser photons have an effect on immune systems status through stimulation of immunoglobulins 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.
10. 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.
