Laser therapy[1] is the therapeutic application of coherent, monochromatic
light at low intensities.
Four widely accepted effects are
1) Biostimulation/Tissue Regeneration
2) Reduction of Inflammation
3) Analgesia
4) Antibacterial/Antiviral
Bio – "Life" stimulation
and tissue regeneration are the first effects cited in much of
the literature. How many therapies can make such a claim?
Laser therapy adds energy to living systems. While we are able to explain many of its molecular and biochemical
effects, it also adds energy at atomic and subatomic levels. When
we understand these deeper effects, perhaps we may know much more
about ourselves.
What can laser therapy treat? Therapeutic applications
which have shown promising results based on studies include:
Acne · Allergic Purpura · Alopecia
Areata · Arteriosclerosis / Atherosclerosis · Arthritis · Asthma · Back
Pain · Carpal Tunnel Syndrome · Cerebral Palsy · Dental
Applications · Diabetes · Fibromyalgia · Headaches/Migraine · Hearing
Disorders · Herpes · Hypertension · Hyperlipidemia · Lymphedema · Maxillofacial

most common term used to describe this modality. "Low level
laser therapy", "low intensity laser therapy", "laser
photobiostimulation" and "low power laser therapy" are
a few of the other terms which have been used. |
