Laser Therapy and Its Applications

Laser therapy is a non-invasive and useful treatment method that is known today as a widely used modality in physiotherapy clinics.


Infrared electromagnetic energy enters the body through laser photons and helps the healing process by increasing tissue heat, and blood flow and increasing cell metabolism.


By increasing metabolism and metabolism in the body, laser therapy provides the energy available to cells for repair and regeneration to a greater extent and is therefore known as one of the most effective and widely used treatment modalities in physiotherapy.


Today, two types of laser devices are used more than other types of laser devices for therapeutic purposes.


High-power lasers penetrate deeper into the tissue with more energy than low-power lasers and transfer more energy to the target tissue.


Laser therapy, along with other physiotherapy modalities such as magnet therapy, shock wave therapy, electrotherapy, and… helps to treat diseases and injuries of the skeletal and nervous systems.


Pregnant women, people with severe hypersensitivity to light, and people with skin diseases and chronic blood should not be treated with a laser device.


The patient's need for laser treatment sessions is determined by the physiotherapist after the initial examination and visit, according to the severity of the disease and the physiotherapist's diagnosis.


Benefits of laser therapy


   Increase the speed of cell metabolism

   Eliminate tissue inflammation

   Reduce swelling and tissue edema

   Improves blood and lymph circulation

   Increase the amount of oxygen and other substances needed by cells

   Rapid pain relief

   Increase the rate of reproduction and cell growth

   Prevent the transmission of pain messages to the central nervous system

   Increased secretion of natural analgesic hormones

   Accelerate the recovery process and reduce the recovery period

   Improves nerve function in damaged tissue

   Improving cardiovascular activity

   Accelerate wound healing and reduce the likelihood of scarring
