When your physician recommends Class IV laser therapy, your body is going to experience an immediate sense of pain relief accelerated healing and decrease in inflammation.
The Power of Class IV Laser Therapy:
Class IV laser therapy utilizes an infra-red electro magnetic energy. It is extremely safe and patients often feel a mild warming sensation.
When the laser light source is placed against your skin, photons penetrate several centimeters down and are absorbed by the mitochondria (the energy producing part of the cell).
The Importance of Cell Regeneration:
Simply put, healing is only possible with the regeneration of cellular energy. Research shows tissues targeted by High Power Laser Therapy and are stimulated to increase production of a cellular enzyme that is critical to the production of the ATP (the currency of chemical energy in living cells)/ This is the photo-chemical effect of High Power Laser Therapy.
Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth
Cells of cartilage, bone, tendons, ligaments and muscles are repaired faster as a result of exposure to laser light.
Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation
This point is paramount because fibrous (scar) tissue is less elastic, has poorer circulation, is more pain sensitive, weaker and much more prone to re-injury and frequent exacerbation.
Anti-Inflammation
Laser light therapy has an anti-inflammatory effect reducing caused by biomechanical stress, trauma, overuse or systemic conditions.
Analgesia
Laser therapy suppresses nerve signals that transmit pain to the brain.
Increased Vascular Activity
Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue.
Increased Metabolic Activity
Laser therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes.
Improved Nerve Function
Laser therapy accelerates the process of nerve cell regeneration.
Stimulates Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points
Laser therapy stimulates muscle trigger points, restoration of the muscular tonus and balance.
