HIGH INTENSITY LASER THERAPY
World-class Physiotherapy Clinic in Gulshan Avenue, Dhaka
What is High Intensity Laser Therapy?
High Intensity Laser Therapy is a type of laser therapy that uses high-powered laser beams to penetrate deeply into the tissues of the body. Unlike traditional low-level laser therapy, which uses lower power levels, High Intensity Laser Therapy provides stronger and more effective results. The laser light energy is absorbed by the cells in the body, which helps to accelerate the healing process, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain.
How Does High Intensity Laser Therapy Work?
When the laser light is applied to the affected area, it is absorbed by the cells in that region. The cells then convert the light energy into cellular energy, which stimulates various biological processes. This process, known as photobiomodulation, helps to:
Increase Blood Flow: The laser light stimulates blood flow to the affected area, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. This helps to speed up the healing process.
Reduce Inflammation: High Intensity Laser Therapy reduces inflammation by decreasing the production of inflammatory chemicals in the body. This can help to alleviate pain and swelling.
Promote Tissue Repair: The increased cellular energy helps to repair damaged tissues, such as muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Relieve Pain: High Intensity Laser Therapy blocks pain signals from reaching the brain, providing immediate pain relief.
Benefits of High Intensity Laser Therapy
High Intensity Laser Therapy offers several benefits for patients, including:
Effective Pain Relief: High Intensity Laser Therapy is highly effective in reducing pain associated with various conditions, such as arthritis, back pain, and sports injuries.
Non-Invasive Treatment: High Intensity Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment method, meaning it does not require surgery or injections. This makes it a safer and more comfortable option for patients.
Quick and Convenient: High Intensity Laser Therapy sessions are usually short, lasting between 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the condition being treated. This makes it a convenient option for patients with busy schedules.
Reduced Recovery Time: By promoting faster healing and reducing inflammation, High Intensity Laser Therapy can help to shorten the overall recovery time for patients.
Applications of High Intensity Laser Therapy
High Intensity Laser Therapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including:
Musculoskeletal Pain: High Intensity Laser Therapy is effective in treating conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and bursitis, which cause pain and inflammation in the muscles and joints.
Sports Injuries: Athletes often use High Intensity Laser Therapy to recover from injuries such as sprains, strains, and muscle tears. It helps to reduce pain and speed up the healing process, allowing them to return to their activities sooner.
Post-Surgical Recovery: High Intensity Laser Therapy can aid in the recovery process after surgeries by reducing pain and inflammation. It promotes tissue repair and helps patients recover more quickly.
Chronic Pain: Individuals with chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia or lower back pain, can find relief with High Intensity Laser Therapy. The therapy helps to manage pain and improve their quality of life.
