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.
The red laser is good for treating abrasions, cuts, and superficial wounds, but they are not useful for pain relief. Infrared lasers penetrate deeper and can go several centimeters into the body which will reach most injured tissue.
The Class 4 provides a more therapeutic level of light to a larger area of damaged tissue, the light penetrates to a deeper level which allows for the treatment of deep pain. Infrared instruments reduce inflammation, enhance tissue healing, and minimize pain in soft and hard tissue. An increased flow of red blood cells is accomplished to aid in the treatment of the affected area.
Lymphatic and venous enhancement oxygenates the tissues and stimulates hemoglobin molecules to infuse oxygen at the site of treatment. Cytochrome oxidase enzymes in the cells' mitochondria are stimulated which then produces more ATP for the cells allowing them to function more efficiently. It enhances what the cells do naturally so they can function normally again after being damaged.
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.
Another modality used with this treatment is spinal decompression, this is particularly useful for those who suffer from herniated or bulging discs. Inflammation and tissue irritants can be reduced and blood flow in the area is stimulated which aids in the healing process. It is helpful for such injuries as chronic issues like arthritis, traumatic injuries such as a vehicle accident, repetitive use injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome, and acute injuries like sprains, strains, and shoulder injuries.
One of the effects of laser therapy is vasodilation in the tissues. Metabolic waste products are released that may cause one to become a bit sore. Drinking a lot of water will flush out the waste products eliminating the symptoms.
Therapy lasers are cleared by the FDA. Four hour training sessions are taught to medical professionals who purchase the laser to teach them how to use the machine and how to treat various conditions with it. A typical session can last 5 to 20 minutes based on what the injury is. The number of treatments needed will depend on the person and the injury that they are being treated for, usually 6 to 12 sessions over 2 to 4 weeks time will produce noticeable results. Not only this the used on humans, but vets are seeing great results when used on dogs for hip dysplasia and intervertebral disc disease as is seen in dachshunds.
