Guest Annie Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Low Level Laser Treatment Low Level Laser Therapy stimulates tissue repair through a process of PhotoBioStimulation. LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers use red and near infrared light. There are different classes of lasers that range from Class I (supermarket scanners) to Class IV (surgical lasers used for cutting through tissues). We use a Class III laser. It does not cut. Light travels as bundles of energy called Photons. Photons bombard us every day from natural light. The difference is that photons from a laser are monochromatic (one wavelength of color), polarized (concentrated on one spot) and coherent (the light travels in a straight line). This allows the light to penetrate the surface of the skin without any heating effects or damage to the skin. Photons will only be absorbed by the cells that need help. They normalize injured tissue by activating enzymes. The enzymes trigger chemical reactions in the cells, supplying energy for the cells to take in nutrients and dispose of waste products faster. This promotes natural healing and pain relief. Physiological effects: Accelerated collagen synthesis increased formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue decrease in micro-organisms pain reduction Low-level laser therapy is considered to be especially effective for: wound management, joint conditions (including arthritis), soft-tissue injuries (including strains, sprains, tendonitis and tenosynovitis, capsulitis and bursitis) and chronic pain.

racindog Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Oh Annie I'm so happy!!! I wanted to let you know that you can use the laser therapy at home too! My holistic vet years ago told me to get one of the (better) laser pointers and just run that back and forth and in circles concentrating over the area that needed it for 20 minutes at a time. Even though it was not as "strong" as the kind at her office it did actually help and she always encourages me to use it. She also does accupuncture which as you know is also highly effective. You can use it to stimulate the various accupuncture points also by shining it onto the various points! So you can give him a lot of the "good stuff" at home too. I'm just so happy. Give Canyon a kiss for me! Edited April 20, 2009 by racindog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
