What is Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)?
PhotoBioModulation (PBM)
PBM is a laser or LED light therapy that improves tissue repair (skin wounds, muscle, tendon, bone, nerves), reduces inflammation and reduces pain wherever the beam is applied. Usually applied by a doctor, therapist or technician, treatments typically take 30 to 60 minutes and should be applied two or more times a week. We use multiple wavelengths ( Colours ) of light to specifically target our treatments to maximize overall clinical outcomes.
It works predominately on a protein in mitochondria (cytochrome c oxidase) to increase ATP and reduce oxidative stress. A cascade of mitochondrial and intracellular downstream effects lead to improved tissue repair and reduced inflammation.
There is a dose response: not enough power density and there is no effect, too much and there can be inhibitory effects which can slow down healing and lose the anti-inflammatory effects.
The analgesic mechanism. This depends on an LLLT overdose; Higher power density LLLT >300mW/cm² reduces ATP production in C fibres and a delta fibres resulting in an immediate neural blockade or analgesia lasting up to 24 hr, Sometimes this is needed for severe acute pain.
So there are actually TWO kinds of LLLT ?Yes, high power density is necessary for analgesia and deep tissue targets, low power density (< 100mW/cm²) is necessary to promote healing and reduce inflammation in superficial wounds, tendons and joints. We do both high and low power density for best healing, deep penetration and relieves pain by reducing overall swelling and inflammation.
