Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation therapy, involves the use of low-intensity lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate healing and reduce pain and inflammation. Here's how it works:
Anti-inflammatory Effects: Cold laser therapy reduces inflammation by suppressing inflammatory enzymes and increasing the release of anti-inflammatory molecules. This helps to alleviate swelling, which in turn reduces pain.
Pain Relief: By stimulating nerve cells, cold laser therapy can also block pain signals transmitted to the brain. This results in pain relief for the treated area.
Accelerated Healing: The combination of increased cellular energy production, improved blood circulation, reduced inflammation, and pain relief contributes to faster healing of tissues. This makes cold laser therapy beneficial for conditions such as wounds, arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, and post-operative recovery.
Overall, cold laser therapy offers a gentle yet effective approach to promoting healing and reducing pain and inflammation in both human and veterinary medicine.
Noninvasive and Safe: Cold laser therapy is noninvasive, meaning it does not require surgery or incisions. It is generally considered safe when performed by trained professionals, with minimal risks or side effects reported.
