One of
the scientists, Popp, showed that weak light emissions of low intensity
were able to control the body, and that light in the body may be the
factor that determines health and illness. Only cancer cells, he says,
do not emit light.
What is Low Level Laser Therapy?
Low Level Laser Therapy is the application of laser light at low
intensity.
Red and near infrared (NIR) light have therapeutic benefits, and it is
these lights that are found in Low Level Laser Therapy.
Conditions helped by therapeutic light include:
-
Inflammatory conditions – bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, etc
-
Wound
care and tissue repair – diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, bed sores,
mouth ulcers, fractures, tendon ruptures, ligament tear, torn
cartilage etc.
-
Pain
control – low back pain, neck pain.
-
Pain
associated with inflammatory conditions – Carpel Tunnel Syndrome,
tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, muscle cramps, etc.
How does this work?
One of the most important functions of Low Level Laser Therapy is, say
researchers, to re-polarize sick and injured cellular membranes. This
allows for essential nutrients to transfer from the blood into the cell.
Research has shown that Low Level Laser Therapy can increase cellular
ATP (body fuel) by as much as 150%. This speeds up the healing process.
Is it safe?
The maximum power outputs are less than 1 watt of energy. They are
classified as nonsignificant risks.
Where do you get it?
Since 2002, low-powered light devices have secured FDA approval in the
US for pain management with specific conditions such as Carpel Tunnel
Syndrome. Some manufacturers have taken this safe, user-friendly
technology out of the clinical setting to also make it available for use
at home. As with all new procedures and technologies, it takes some time
for the information to filter through to those who could benefit.
