Get Pain Relief At Laser Therapy Coquitlam

By Marissa Velazquez


Laser Therapy Coquitlam can produce great results for tissue healing and pain management. The instruments used are classified according to power output, Class 3a has a maximum of 5 milliwatts, Class 3b is a maximum output of 500 milliwatts and Class 4 is anything over 500 milliwatts. Most Class 3a instruments use red wavelength and penetrate one to two millimeters, or about 1/8 inch, into the derma.

For superficial wounds, cuts, and abrasions a red laser will do the job, but they will do nothing to relieve pain. The infrared laser can get to a deeper layer of the body from muscles to ligaments and even bones and can reach where most of the injured tissue resides.

The Class 4 provides a more therapeutic level of light to a larger area of damaged tissue, the light penetrates to a deeper level which allows for the treatment of deep pain. Infrared instruments reduce inflammation, enhance tissue healing, and minimize pain in soft and hard tissue. An increased flow of red blood cells is accomplished to aid in the treatment of the affected area.

Venous and lymphatic systems begin to work in the areas that are treated providing oxygen to the tissues and stimulating hemoglobin to infuse the treated area with oxygen. Cell mitochondria cytochrome oxidase enzymes are stimulated and in turn increase ATP production and the cells function more efficiently. This is what cells normally do, but the instrument enhances their functionality after they have been damaged.

Lasers have typically been used in medicine for surgical procedures, these instruments are very precise and are used for cutting or the removal of tattoos. The Class 4 instead diffuses light in the area it is applied. This therapy should be considered prior to surgery for acute conditions. The cost is much lower, there is no pain or long recovery time, and there are no side effects.

In conjunction with this therapy one can also include spinal decompression for people who suffer from bulging or herniated discs. Blood flow in the treated area is stimulated which aids in the healing process, tissue irritants are reduced, and inflammation can be reduced as well. Chronic issues such as arthritis, repetitive use injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, acute injuries such as shoulder injuries, strains and sprains, and traumatic injuries like auto accidents can be treated.

Metabolic waste from treatments can cause vasodilation in the tissues and soreness can ensue. This can be remedied by drinking lots of water to flush the tissues out.

Trained medical professionals go through 4 hour sessions on how to use the machine and how to treat various conditions. The laser is also FDA approved. Sessions can be from 5 to 20 minutes, and the number required for relief can vary from 6 to 12 over a span of 2 4 weeks. Not only are humans benefiting from the use of this therapy but vets are also using it to treat animals suffering from conditions such as hip dysplaysia and intervertebral disc disease as is seen in dachshunds.
