Clinical Applications
Therapeutic lasers work by supplying energy to the body in the form of photons of light and allowing the body to effect its own repairs. Generally speaking, the biostimulating effect of laser therapy is in its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-edematous effect on tissues. There is absolute increase in microcirculation, higher rates of ATP, RNA and DNA synthesis, and thus better tissue oxygenation and nutrition. There is also an increase in the absorption of interstitial fluid, better tissue regeneration and stimulation of the analgesic effect.
