Laser therapy

How does it work?

Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation. Laser therapy covers almost the entire range of sports injuries and diseases:

• Post-traumatic conditions such as injuries, sprains, conditions after fractures and luxations;
• Neurological diseases such as neuralgia, neuritis, plexitis, radiculitis, traumatic lesions of peripheral nerves;
• Tendinos, tendonitis, bursitis, insertionitis diseases such as "tennis elbow" and tendonitis of the Achilles tendon;
• Joint diseases such as arthrosi, arthritis;
• Muscle and joint pain;
• Postoperative wounds, slow-healing wounds and skin diseases;

What are the main benefits?

Physiotherapy uses laser beams from the visible and infrared spectrum with high focus and monochrome, in the range of 600-950 nm. These are low-energy lasers (soft lasers), which act on the tissues by photochemical and photoelectric effect, the photothermal (heat) effect being minimal and this determines their harmlessness.

Laser therapy acts on the principle of stimulating cellular structures, strengthening:

• metabolism;
• ATP formation;
• the transport of substances through membranes;
• cell regeneration and reproduction are accelerated;

Additional information

Laser therapy changes the excitability of nerve endings, increases microcirculation, swelling and pathological products. Effects related to the stimulation of the mechanisms of immunoprotection and sensitization have also been proven.

Therapeutic effects are associated with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, regenerative, vasodilatory, immune-boosting and antimicrobial action.
