980nm diode laser use the biological stimulation of light promotes, reduces inflammation and alleviates , is a non-invasive treatment for acute and chronic conditions.It is safe and appropriate for all ages, from the young to the older patient that may suffer from chronic pain.
Laser Therapy is mainly for the relief of pain, accelerate healing and decrease inflammation. When the light source is placing against the skin, the photons penetrate several centimeters and get absorbed by the mitochondria. The energy producing part of a cell.
How does Laser work?
The application of laser energy at the 980nm wavelength interacts with the peripheral nervous system activating the Gate control mechanism producing a rapid analgesic effect.
Where can laser physiotherapy be used?
Neurological disease
Post-operative healing
Neck pain
Achilles tendinitis
Back pain
Joint sprains
Muscle strains
What are the Benefits of Laser Physiotherapy?
Non-invasive
Eliminates pain
Painless treatment
Easy to use
No known adverse effects
No drug interactions
Reduces the need for medications
Often does not require surgical intervention
Very effective for many diseases and conditions
Restores normal range of motion and body function
Provides a treatment alternative for patients who have not responded to other treatments
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THIS LASER TREATMENT?
Laser treatment is relaxing and some people even fall asleep. On the other hand, in some cases pain can increase or begin 6-24 hours after a treatment session. This is because the laser light starts the healing process. All healing begins with a slight amount of mild inflammation.
FAQ
1.What does laser therapy do in physiotherapy?
Laser Therapy involves the application of low-intensity laser light to relieve pain caused due to the damage of soft tissue. It facilitates tissue repair and restores normal cell function. It is used by experts to heal wounds and pain.
2.What is the wavelength of Class IV laser therapy?
Class IV lasers have traditionally used the 980nm wavelength. This is the preferred option for rapid pain control with reduction of inflammation. Class 4 lasers, due to significantly more powerful laser diodes, are more expensive than class 1 through 3 lasers.
3.Is Class IV laser therapy better than cold laser therapy?
The Class IV laser is able to penetrate up to 4 cm and is 24 times more powerful that a cold laser. Since it is able to penetrate so deeply into the body, the vast majority of muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, and nerves can be treated effectively.
