If you want to learn more, please visit our website Easetak.

We are very pleased to announce that we now have the newest laser released by Theralase! We&#;re still configuring the setup and expect to have it up and running in about a week. The TLC will allow our clinic to provide very specific, individualized treatment plans that take into account a patient&#;s skin characteristics, size and tissue type being treated. For example, this laser has a patented system of measuring the depth of the target tissue before treatment&#;it then adjusts the dosage accordingly!

What is Laser Therapy?

Lasers provide a light stimulus at very specific wavelengths. The various cells of the body responsible for healing have the capacity to respond to these specific wavelengths. They turn the light energy into chemical energy, which leads to a series of physiological processes involved in the healing pathway. As a result, the patient will see a reduction in pain, reduced inflammation and increased regeneration of damaged tissues.

The Benefits of Laser Therapy

• It can reduce inflammation and consequently improve the function and mobility of joints.
• It has also been shown to eliminate and reduce the formation of scar tissue.
• Laser therapy has been shown to increase the rate of cellular growth and repair.
• Laser therapy increases blood flow. It does this by creating a temporary dilation of the blood vessels so that the increased blood flow can nourish damaged areas.
• Laser therapy increases the cellular activity of the area being treated. It increases the production of ATP for example, which is paramount for improved cellular function in many physiological pathways.
• In the case of nerve injury, laser therapy can help damaged nerves regenerate and therefore improve sensation, decrease nerve pain and improve motor function in a damaged area.
• It aids in wound healing, through the facilitation of fibroblast and collagen proliferation in damaged areas.
• Laser therapy at Burlington Sports Therapy can be performed by our chiropractors or our physiotherapists, so for insurance purposes, you may have a preference as to who helps you with your laser therapy.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a versatile and drug-free treatment that has helped improve the health and well-being of patients worldwide. This treatment has also helped improve the care that practitioners deliver to their patients. Depending on your goals as a patient or a practitioner, though, laser therapy can have some drawbacks. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce any disadvantages that laser therapy may present. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of laser therapy can help you determine if this treatment is right for you.

Also known as photobiomodulation, laser therapy uses various wavelengths of light to stimulate the body&#;s natural healing processes. Specific wavelengths provide different health benefits. Laser therapy using 810nm wavelengths helps muscles and tendons regenerate, for example, while treatments using 980 nm wavelengths ease pain, improve circulation, and promote muscle relaxation. Laser therapy using nm wavelengths penetrates tissue deep inside the body to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve blood flow.

Advantages of Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a versatile and drug-free treatment, but depending on your goals as a patient or a practitioner, it can have some drawbacks. This blog will cover the advantages and disadvantages of laser therapy and offer solutions/silver linings of disadvantages.

A drug-free approach to treatment

One of the best advantages of laser therapy is that it is drug-free. Patients do not have to worry about getting a prescription, buying expensive medication, or the risk of drug interactions. Laser therapy does not present the risk of addiction or overdoses like opioids or other painkillers.

Pain-free treatments

Some patients avoid getting treatment for health issues because they are worried about the discomfort therapy may cause. Laser therapy is pain-free and comfortable &#; many patients find laser therapy relaxing.

Versatility

Laser therapy effectively treats many common physical concerns, such as:

• Muscle spasms and strains

• Arthritis

• Bursitis

• Tendonitis

• Ligament sprains

• Neuropathy

• Neck pain

• Lower back pain

• Knee pain

This versatility means practitioners can treat multiple conditions with just one device, which means clinics can treat more patients while saving money and space.

Customizable

The highest quality laser therapy devices have adjustable power output and multiple wavelengths, allowing practitioners to customize treatments to fit each patient&#;s needs.

May be combined with other treatments

Since laser therapy is drug-free, it may be combined with other treatments, such as physical therapy, surgery, injections, or prescription medications. Many practitioners find that combining laser therapy with other treatments works better than offering just one mode of treatment.

Long-lasting results

Because laser therapy addresses the underlying problem rather than merely masking symptoms, photobiomodulation therapy can provide long-lasting results.

Ongoing research

Since its discovery in the s, scientists have performed countless studies to investigate laser therapy&#;s effects and discover new uses. As laser therapy becomes more popular among practitioners and patients, researchers continue to explore new applications for this state-of-the-art technology.

Disadvantages of Laser Therapy

Expense

Some practitioners may find it expensive to purchase laser therapy devices. This may be especially true for newly-opened offices or clinics with a limited investment budget. However, investing in laser therapy technology can pay off because offering the technology can attract more clients and help your practice grow.

Practices can save money through tax credits and the Aspen Laser warranty.

Insurance coverage

Some insurance policies may not cover laser therapy. This may pose a problem for clinics accustomed to billing insurance providers for all procedures.

To overcome this, practices can offer laser therapy as a cash service. While it can be challenging for some practices to make the change, offering cash services can benefit both clinics and their patients. Many clinics appreciate the instant payment of a cash service rather than filling out insurance paperwork and waiting for weeks or months to receive compensation. Cash services can also draw uninsured patients who may not otherwise receive the treatment they need.

Safety protocol

While laser therapy is safe, practitioners must still undergo the necessary training to operate laser therapy devices. This training helps them understand how the various wavelengths affect patients&#; bodies and how to use the laser therapy devices safely.
