LOW INTENSITY LASER THERAPY
Serengeti medi-spa is pleased to announce that we offer Low Intensity Laser Therapy. This exciting and extremely effective service is available to help you with multiple medical conditions. Please be sure to review the following information. What is Laser Therapy? Laser therapy is the use of monochromatic light emission from a low intensity laser diode (250 milliwatts or less) or an array of high intensity super luminous diodes (providing total optical power in the 1000-2000 milliwatt range). Conditions treated include musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions and wounds. The light source is placed in contact with the skin allowing the photon energy to penetrate tissue, where it interacts with various intracellular biomolecules resulting in the restoration of normal cell morphology and function. This also enhances the body's natural healing processes. The following chart outlines some of the specific effects of Low Intensity Laser Therapy. The Technology This dynamic emerging technology utilizes super luminous and laser diodes to irradiate abnormal tissue with photons. These are particles of energy that are absorbed by a variety of micro-molecules within the cell, a process which initiates a number of positive physiological responses. In essence, light energy is converted into biochemical energy. The result is that normal cell morphology and function are restored. The process is curative and as logic dictates, symptoms disappear. Light in its various forms has been used for healing from the time of the ancient Egyptian and Greek civilizations. With recent advances in the engineering of devices and the development of appropriate protocols for effective therapeutic application, dramatic benefits and treatment of many complex medical conditions are achievable. The BioFlex System combines numerous sophisticated engineering advances with the capacity to control all parameters such as frequency, duty cycle, energy density, duration, etc. An infinitive range of protocols can then be delivered to tissue in standard fashion or a customized basis. The monochromatic coherent and polarized characteristics of the therapeutic light beam permit penetration of deep tissues without affecting normal cells. Again, it should be noted that the end result is curative with regard to the pathology, rather than symptom modulation, the conventional approach for the management of pain. The Advantages of Low Intensity Laser Therapy
Short Term Effects
Meditech International Inc. carries on a significant research program exploring the potential of laser in the treatment of challenging medical conditions where conventional therapies are inadequate. These include: (i) General
(ii) Injuries
Each treatment area requires assessment and a protocol is chosen accordingly. No cost for laser is currently paid for by Alberta Health Care. The cost of laser is the patient's responsibility. |
