Description

Here's an overview of laser treatment in physiotherapy: How It Works: Laser therapy works on the principle of phot biomodulation, which involves the interaction of laser light with living tissue. When the low-level laser light is applied to the skin, it stimulates cellular processes. Pain Reduction: Laser therapy is often used to alleviate pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions, such as arthritis, sports injuries, and chronic pain. Tissue Repair and Wound Healing: Laser therapy can aid in the repair and regeneration of damaged tissue, making it useful in the treatment of soft tissue injuries, chronic wounds, and certain skin conditions. Inflammation Reduction: It can help reduce inflammation in the affected area, which is particularly beneficial in cases of conditions like tendinitis and bursitis. Non-Invasive and Painless: Laser therapy is non-invasive and typically painless. Patients generally do not experience any discomfort during the treatment. Duration and Frequency: A course of laser therapy usually involves multiple sessions, which are typically short in duration. Safety: Laser therapy is considered safe when administered by trained professionals. However, it is crucial that protective eyewear is used to shield the eyes from laser exposure. Use in Combination with Other Therapies: Laser therapy is often used in conjunction with other physiotherapy modalities, such as manual therapy, exercise, and electrotherapy, to provide comprehensive rehabilitation. Conditions Treated: Laser therapy can be applied to various conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, osteoarthritis, soft tissue injuries, nerve pain, and more. Consultation: If you're interested in laser therapy as part of your physiotherapy treatment, consult with a qualified physiotherapist or healthcare provider.
