Looking for a revolutionary therapy that can help regenerate soft tissue and provide long-lasting results? Look no further than Jenks High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) at Tulsa Spine and Rehab and LifeMotion. This innovative therapy is a game-changer for patients suffering from soft-tissue injuries, offering deep relief beyond simply masking symptoms with injections and prescriptions.
Whether you’re a young athlete with an acute injury or an elderly patient with chronic pain, HILT can help you significantly improve your overall well-being. By promoting the cellular integrity of damaged cells and reducing inflammation, this therapy has the power to truly heal at the cellular level, making it an incredible option for anyone seeking deeper relief.
How does High-Intensity Laser Therapy Work?
In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in the potential health benefits of infrared laser therapy. This non-invasive treatment involves exposing the body to high-intensity light energy, which is thought to stimulate healing processes in the cells. The theory is that the photon receptors in each cell absorb the laser energy, triggering a photochemical response in the mitochondria. As the cell’s powerhouse, the mitochondria play a crucial role in energy production and repair processes. When exposed to infrared laser energy, they release nitric oxide and ATP, which may help to speed up the healing of damaged tissues. While research is ongoing, many people have reported positive results from this therapy, making it an exciting study area in the quest for better health and well-being.
What can you expect?
If you’re searching for a potent yet non-invasive way to treat pain, high-intensity laser (HIL) therapy has the solution for you. By incorporating low-level laser therapy, HIL therapy achieves maximum relief for various types of pain, from acute to chronic and neuropathic pain.
Additionally, it promotes the regeneration of soft tissue injuries by penetrating profound deep into injured areas with the right wavelength, naturally transferring energy to speed up the healing process and revitalise damaged cells and tissue. So if you’re seeking a natural and effective method to manage your pain, consider exploring high-intensity laser therapy for fast and long-lasting pain relief.
How HIL Therapy Works
Laser therapy has gained popularity recently due to its non-invasive nature and effectiveness in treating various medical conditions. When the laser energy is of the same wavelength, constant phase, and directional, it can be used as an effective therapy. The source of laser energy is a semiconductor diode that produces one wavelength of energy. This energy is then directed onto an optical fiber connected to the laser’s applicator. The energy is refined using a series of lenses that ensure the direction and diameter of the energy. At high-intensity laser therapy, we use the 1,065 nanometers (nm) wavelength, which balances penetration and absorption into deep soft tissue. Laser therapy has proven helpful in treating chronic pain, inflammation, and injuries. It’s a safe, non-invasive, and effective way of treating various medical conditions.
What to Expect During HIL Therapy
During a laser therapy session, you may receive pulses or continuous laser treatment. The pulsing action is ideal as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory solution to reduce swelling. Its micro-circulation effects speed up the healing process in acute injuries, such as sprains. For pain relief, the technician uses a spiral application of the laser beam’s energy.
Continuous laser beam penetration helps with healing, recovery and bio-stimulation. During a therapy session, you’ll wear safety glasses on your eyes. They protect your eyes from accidental laser beam exposure. The laser beam generates a lot of warmth, and the heat is part of the pain relief of the treatment. Our highly trained technicians carefully time the length of the treatments to avoid causing too much heat exposure from the laser beam. During continuous therapy, the technician makes a scanning motion with the laser beam.The laser operates quietly, but you may hear a soft humming or click.
Conditions That Benefit from HIL Therapy
High-intensity laser therapy (HIL) is a non-invasive and effective treatment option for individuals seeking relief from soft tissue sports injuries, joint distortion or displacement, and back pain caused by cervical vertebrae disorders and herniated discs. Additionally, those experiencing low back pain or degenerative arthritis of the knee, hip, or shoulder and trigger point pain can also benefit from HIL therapy. Most patients experience relief after three to fifteen treatments. You’ll have about two to five sessions per week. If you’re being treated for acute pain, the frequency may decrease after the first week. If your laser therapy sessions are for chronic pain from arthritis or disc herniation, your frequency may be consistent for several weeks.
