Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation, or PBM.
During PBM, photons enter the tissue and interact with the cytochrome c complex within mitochondria. This interaction triggers a biological cascade of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism, decrease in pain, reduction in muscle spasm, and improved microcirculation to injured tissue.
This treatment is FDA cleared and provides patients a non-invasive, non-pharmacological alternative for pain relief.
Effective laser therapy administration is a direct function of power and time as it relates to the dose delivered. Administering the optimal treatment dose to patients produces consistent positive outcomes.
Class 4, or class IV, therapy lasers provide more energy to deep structures in less time. This ultimately assists in providing an energy dose that result in positive, reproducible outcomes.
Higher wattage also results in faster treatment times and provides changes in pain complaints that are unachievable with low power lasers.
