Low Level Laser


Low Level Laser has been approved by the FDA for treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Low Level Laser therapy has been shown to precipitate a complex set of physiological interactions at the cellular level that reduces acute inflammation, reduces pain and accelerates tissue healing. Light Amplification of Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is a light beam from the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike conventional light sources, a laser beam travels only in one direction and is monochromic with its photons (little packets of energy) which are all identical in size, traveling equidistant in time and space. Low Level Laser therapy has been investigated and used clinically for over 30 years, mostly in Eastern Europe and Asia. The ability of lasers to cut and cauterize during surgery is well known. The same or similar lasers at lower powers can non-thermally and nondestructively alter cellular function. This phenomenon, known as laser bio stimulation, is the basis for the current use of lasers to treat a variety of joint, nerve and soft tissue conditions.
