Laser is a part of the spectrum of light. Light is an electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic energy is usually measured by wavelength. Visible light has a wavelength between 380 and 740. Each color in visible light has its own wavelength. Different types of lasers are placed in a part of this spectrum according to their wavelength.
In terms of wavelength, lasers used in physiotherapy are placed after infrared or infrared waves. In other words, their wavelength is slightly longer than infrared waves.
The laser device is actually a kind of light amplifier. In fact, the laser device produces homogenous light waves in a concentrated manner, and this concentration and convergence causes a lot of energy to be generated in It becomes a surface unit, so it can be used in cutting metals and diamonds.
The waves of a beam of light emitted from a laser device are coherent, monochromatic, and have the same polarization.
Laser is obtained by combining the beginning of the words of the opposite term:
Light Amplification by Stimulate Emission of Radiation
Types of lasers used in physical therapy- Class 3 or LLLT with a power of less than 500 milliwatts mw (cold laser)
- Class 4 or HPLT with a power of more than 500 milliwatts mw
Diseases and injuries that laser can be very effective in treating and healing: -Types of sports injuries such as damage and inflammation of tendons, ligaments, muscles (tendonitis, ligament sprain, muscle strain)
- Peripheral neuropathy, inflammation of joint capsule and bursae (capsulitis, bursitis) br />- spinal canal stenosis
- wear and arthritis of joints
- chronic pains
- open wounds
-...
Mechanisms of laser operation- Reducing pain
- Reducing inflammation
- Increasing the speed of recovery of damaged tissues
- Relaxing muscles
- Stimulating the speed of regeneration in damaged nerves
- Increasing the activity of blood vessels in the area Treated
- Reduction of fibrosis tissue formation
- Increase in the number of stem cells in the treated area
Many neuromusculoskeletal problems respond much better to HPLT.
Many patients realize the effects of the treatment in the first sessions, although in many cases, due to the severity and chronic nature of the damage, multiple treatment sessions may be needed.
Capable pain clinic equipped withGiga high power diode laser It is one of the selected lasers in the field of medicine, with a power of 30 watts and a wavelength of 980 + 1470 nm. One of the features of this laser is receiving the FDA certificate from the United States, which is a confirmation of the device's effectiveness and safety.
In addition to being used in a physiotherapy clinic, this device can also be converted into a surgical laser and can be used in disc laser operations. Also, having a special probe, it can be used in the treatment and elimination of spider veins caused by varicose veins.
