Laser Therapy Coquitlam can produce great results for tissue healing and pain management. The instruments used are classified according to power output, Class 3a has a maximum of 5 milliwatts, Class 3b is a maximum output of 500 milliwatts and Class 4 is anything over 500 milliwatts. Most Class 3a instruments use red wavelength and penetrate one to two millimeters, or about 1/8 inch, into the derma.
For treating cuts, abrasions and superficial wounds, a red laser is great, but it is not very effective on the relief of pain. In order to penetrate to a deeper level, the infrared laser is needed as it can go through the derma several centimeters where injured tissue resides.
Treatment of deeper pain can be achieved with a Class 4 instrument which offers therapeutic levels of light to larger areas of tissue, the photons of light can reach the injured areas. Infrared instruments enhance the healing of tissue, reduce inflammation, and reduce pain in soft and hard tissue, ligaments, muscles, and even bones. Microcirculation is increased as more red blood cells move into the areas being treated.
The treatment enhances what the body does naturally, aiding the body in repairing itself so that the affected area can function at its normal state. Enhanced venous and lymphatic systems oxygenate tissues and stimulate hemoglobin which send oxygen to the injured site. Enzymes in the cells' mitochondria are stimulated and they in turn increase the production of ATP allowing the cells to work better.
Lasers have typically been used in medicine for surgical procedures, these instruments are very precise and are used for cutting or the removal of tattoos. The Class 4 instead diffuses light in the area it is applied. This therapy should be considered prior to surgery for acute conditions. The cost is much lower, there is no pain or long recovery time, and there are no side effects.
In conjunction with this therapy one can also include spinal decompression for people who suffer from bulging or herniated discs. Blood flow in the treated area is stimulated which aids in the healing process, tissue irritants are reduced, and inflammation can be reduced as well. Chronic issues such as arthritis, repetitive use injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, acute injuries such as shoulder injuries, strains and sprains, and traumatic injuries like auto accidents can be treated.
Vasodilation can occur after a session due to metabolic waste being released into the tissues. This can cause soreness. Flushing the system out by drinking a lot of water will help to rid the body of these symptoms.
Trained medical professionals go through 4 hour sessions on how to use the machine and how to treat various conditions. The laser is also FDA approved. Sessions can be from 5 to 20 minutes, and the number required for relief can vary from 6 to 12 over a span of 2 4 weeks. Not only are humans benefiting from the use of this therapy but vets are also using it to treat animals suffering from conditions such as hip dysplaysia and intervertebral disc disease as is seen in dachshunds.
