The trend in laser therapy for the past 10 years has been to increase power density and dose, since this has been shown to improve therapeutic outcomes considerably. So we recommend the deep tissue laser therapy.
Deep tissue laser therapy does not require the use of drugs or surgery, and there are no known side effects or risks that may occur with other forms of treatment. In addition, it can often achieve results faster than other treatment modalities. During the treatment the patient will feel deep soothing warmth. This pleasant sensation reassures the patient that the laser is stimulating cellular activity.
Your new laser therapy business runs parallel with your current practice, improving patients’ outcomes, expending your scope of practice, building and cross-referring new patients and increasing cash flow. Offering laser therapy keeps your practice on the cutting edge of technology, which is important when differentiating yourself from other practices in your area.
- Pain associated with soft tissue injuries:
- Back pain and spinal conditions
- Cervical neck pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Myofascial trigger points
- Epicondylitis (Tennis elbow)
- Sprains, strains
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Plantar fasciitis/ fasciitis
- Biological effects of therapeutic laser therapy
- Accelerated tissue repair and cell growth
- Faster healing of injuries
- Reduced fibrous tissue formation
- Anti-inflammatory
- Analgesia though the release of endorphins, brandykinins ect
- Improved vascular activity
- Increased metabolic rate within the tissue Improved nerve function
The laser utilizes a non-contact treatment method. This non-contact treatment method makes it significantly easier for the clinician to provide treatment. Compare this to many other low level or cold lasers that require strenuous pressure applied to the surface of the skin.
Delivering a larger number of photons per area, the larger spot size of the treatment handpiece (Therapy handpiece set) makes treating area faster, and allows the clinician to treatment more patients with greater efficiency and improved results. Patients respond favorably to faster treatment times with increased compliance for follow-up treatment sessions.
If the power density is too low, the laser treatment is ineffective, if the power density is too high, the laser can cause tissue damage.
So our therapy handpiece set is able to maintain a safe power density due to its larger spot size (Adjustable spot diameter: 10mm/15mm/20mm/25mm/30mm it can control with hand switch).
The biological effect of laser therapy is related to the wavelength of light emitted by the laser. The shorter the wavelength, the more readily the energy is absorbed and scattered in the body before it reaches the target area. Generally the longer the wavelength (up to 1200), the deeper the penetration of photon energy. Simply stated, if you cannot reach it, you cannot treat it.
