How does laser therapy cure?

Laser therapy with low-power laser is one of the non-invasive and effective treatment methods in the treatment and recovery of many diseases and injuries.

In low-power lasers with a wavelength (540-830 nm) and power (25-500 milliwatts) that aim to increase photochemical reactions that change the permeability of the cell membrane, followed by an increase in cell metabolism and repair processes. is used.

Today, low-power laser is widely used in physiotherapy, medicine and dentistry treatments.

Due to the radiation of photons from low power lasers to the cells, the energy transfer chain is activated in the mitochondria and following important changes in the direction of moving the materials needed by the cells and increasing the protein production.

Unlike high-power lasers, low-power lasers do not release heat and do not destroy tissues, but they help to improve cell metabolism by creating a photochemical reaction.

Advantages of lasers

• Increasing the speed of mitosis in the mechanism of bone and muscle tissue repair
• Increasing collagen synthesis, proliferation of fibroblasts, increasing tensile strength and elasticity
• Increasing ATP production and improving capillary blood circulation (vasodilation)
• Increased release of histamine, bradykinin, serotonin and beta-endorphin
• Increased lymphatic activity (drainage)
• Reduction of mucositis (mucosa inflammation) after chemotherapy and radiation therapy
• Muscle relaxation and increase in pressure pain threshold
• Decreased muscle activity (Trigger) such as myofascial pain and fibromyalgia
• Enhancement of peripheral nerve reconstruction after injury
• Reducing the process of central nervous system degeneration
• Enhancing brain cell survival after transient ischemia (TIA)
• Accelerating the birth of new capillaries (Neoangiogenesis)
• Reduce or eliminate the formation of scar tissue
• Strengthening the proliferation of immune cells (strengthening the immune response, increasing the activity of NK cells, etc.)

• Direct eye treatment: Today, ophthalmologists use high-power laser devices. But it should be noted that

Even low-power laser light, if it enters the eye directly, causes serious risks for the retina. Therefore, the use of laser in the treatment of eye diseases,

It should only be done by a specialist ophthalmologist.

• Radiation to the fetus or treatment on the uterus of a pregnant person.
• Usually, one of the prohibitions of using laser radiation is the direct radiation of radiation on cancerous tissues. Investigations on the effect of laser radiation

has been done on the secretion of a substance that activates growth and cell division, it shows that in patients who have the possibility of having active cancer tissue in them,

Laser therapy cannot be used in any part or tissue of their body. Of course, some researchers believe that there is no problem in using laser on non-involved organs.

• Radiation on skin areas with thermal sensation disorder
• Direct radiation on the testicles
• The use of laser in the treatment of patients with epilepsy
• The presence of infection at the site of laser use
• The presence of an artificial pacemaker in the chest
• Taking some drugs, especially drugs that cause sensitivity to light.
