How does it work?
High Intensity Laser Therapy is a medical treatment that uses light energy (photons) to stimulate a process called Photobiomodulation (PBM). Simply, light changing biological activity. Photons are carried by wavelengths of light that are attracted to chromophores within the tissue.
Our 810nm wavelength interacts with the Cytochrome C in the mitochondria resulting in an increased production of ATP. This results in prevention of death (Apoptosis), reduced inflammation, reduced pain, increased microcirculation and improved healing rates.
Our 980nm wavelength has a direct influence on nociceptors. Reducing pain both in the short and long term. The main influence being the prevention of calcium release without which pain signals cannot be sent. It is the combination of these two wavelengths that provide the therapeutic effects.

Benefits
Analgesic effect 1
High Intensity Laser Therapy of diseased and damaged tissue produces a suppression of hypersensitive nociceptors, normalization of the membrane firing threshold, and an increased release of tissue endorphins, amongst other mechanisms. In addition to the reduction in inflammation, the result is a decreased patient perception of pain.

Delivering the right dose is essential
Effective laser therapy administration is a direct function of power and time as it relates to the dose delivered. Administering the optimal treatment dose to patients produces consistent positive outcomes. Class IV therapy lasers provide more energy to deep structures in less time. This ultimately assists in providing an energy dose that results in positive, reproducible outcomes. Higher wattage also results in faster treatment times and provides changes in pain complaints that are unachievable with low power lasers.
LightForce® lasers provide a level of versatility unrivalled by Class I, II, and IIIb lasers due to their ability to treat both superficial and deep tissue conditions.

FAQs
An ultrasound FAQ addresses common questions about this safe, noninvasive medical imaging technique, which uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the body's internal structures. Key aspects include its safety (no radiation), the basic procedure involving a transducer, and preparation guidelines that vary by scan type (e.g., a full bladder for a pelvic ultrasound, fasting for an abdominal ultrasound). The images are interpreted by a radiologist, not the technologist
