A 150 milliwatt cold laser would take over 16 hours to deliver the same dose.Pain-related massage, important in traditional Eastern medicine, is increasingly used in the Western world. A 15 watt hot laser will treat an arthritic knee to the point of pain relief, in about 10 minutes. The difference between the two is the time it takes to deliver a therapeutic dose. The depth of penetration is determined by the wavelength of light and not the power. This therapy is known as "High Intensity Laser Therapy" (HILT).īoth hot and cold lasers have similar depth of penetration into the body. Therapy with these lasers feels warm and soothing because of the higher energy. These lasers are much more powerful than cold lasers normally more than 100x more powerful. Treatment with these lasers is known as "Low Level Laser Therapy" (LLLT). These lasers have very low power and for that reason do not generate any heat on the skin.
The majority of therapeutic laser equipments used are commonly known as "cold lasers".

Laser therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymesĬlass IV laser therapeutic machine accelerates the process of nerve cell regeneration and increases the amplitude of action potentials Additionally, it has been noted in the literature that microcirculation increases secondary to vasodilation during laser treatment. Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries (angiogenesis) in damaged tissue that will speed up the healing process.
Another pain blocking mechanism involves the production of high levels of pain killing chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalins from the brain and adrenal gland. This means that a greater amount of stimuli is required to create an action potential within the nerve to signal pain. Laser therapy has a beneficial effect on pain through the suppression of nerve signal transmission over unmyelinated c-fibers that transmit pain to the brain. As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by biomechanical stress, trauma, overuse, or systemic conditions. Laser light therapy has an anti-inflammatory effect, as it causes vasodilation and activation of the lymphatic drainage system. This point is paramount because fibrous (scar) tissue is less elastic, has poorer circulation, is more pain sensitive, weaker, and much more prone to re-injury and frequent exacerbation. Laser therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage and acute and chronic inflammatory processes. Cells of cartilage, bone, tendons, ligaments and muscles are repaired faster as a result of exposure to laser light. No other physical therapy modality can penetrate the bony patella and deliver healing energy to the articular surface between the underside of the patella and the femur.

This is a powerful, non-addictive, and side-effect free form of pain management that decreases inflammation and scar tissue formation. This is the photo-chemical effect of High Power Laser Therapy.ĭimed laser physiotherapy machine is powered by 60.0 Watt GaAlAs Diode Laser, one of the most powerful available, emitting a continuous wave at a 980nm (near infra-red wavelength) for maximum bio-stimulation. With increased ATP production and thus greater cellular energy a host of biological responses are facilitated, such as mediation of pain, reduction of inflammation, reduced scar tissue, increased cell metabolism, improved vascular activity, and accelerated healing. ATP is the currency of chemical energy in living cells. Research shows tissues targeted by High Power Laser Therapy are stimulated to increase production of a cellular enzyme (Cytochrome C Oxidase) that is critical to the production of ATP. The most powerful lasers are single wavelength, continuous wave, high output lasers. The amount and depth of penetration from this photonic energy depends on a number of different factors related to the patient and the power of the laser therapy machine. The light beam of photons stays fairly narrow and does not diverge like a regular light bulb. Laser therapy light is infra-red electro-magnetic energy entering the body as photons.
