Low Intensity Laser Therapy
This technology utilizes superluminous and laser diodes to irradiate abnormal tissue with photons. These particles of energy are absorbed by a variety of molecules resulting in the conversion of light into biochemical energy. Multiple positive physiological responses are thereby initiated and normal cell porphology and function are restored. This process is curative and eliminates symptoms.
In many instances, LILT (Low Intensity Laser Therapy) is the treatment of choice for:
GENERAL
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Epicondylitis
- Repetitive stress syndrome
- Rotator cuff injury
- Temporo-medibular joint dysfunction
- Reflex sympathetic dystophy
INJURIES
- Ligament and tendon tears
- Fractures with associated soft tissue injuries
- Facet joint syndrome
- Contusions
- Bulging and herniated discs
INFLAMMATORY
- Tendonitis
- Myositis
- Synovitis
- Bursitis
- Plantar fasciatis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
DEGENERATIVE
- Osteoarthritis
- Chondromalacia patella
- Calcification (e.g. bone spurs)
- Spinal stenosis
- Discogenic and vertebro-genic radiculopathy
