High-Intensity Laser Therapy

High-intensity laser therapy is a modern method of treatment, which is based on the action of high-intensity laser radiation. It is also called HILT (High Intensity Laser Therapy). It is used to reduce pain, relieve inflammation and accelerate soft tissue repair processes in inflammation, after injuries or surgeries.

Principle of action of high-intensity laser therapy

A high-power laser acts on soft tissue cells by means of a deep thermal effect. The rays stimulate microcirculation, improve metabolism and activate natural healing processes. Therapy does not damage the skin, but acts on the deeper layers, which provides a noticeable effect after the first procedures.

The beam is directed precisely at the affected area - this reduces the risk of irritation of healthy tissues. Due to this, the swelling decreases and the pain recedes faster. The need for medicines is reduced. The reaction of the body is natural. During the rehabilitation period, this procedure helps to restore mobility and restore muscle elasticity.

Advantages of laser therapy in the treatment of pain

High-intensity laser therapy has a number of advantages:

‍

• pain reduction without medication;
• improvement of mobility of affected joints;
• reduction of the recovery period after injuries and operations;
• minimal risk of side effects;
• combination with other methods of physiotherapy for complex treatment.

Due to these advantages, laser therapy of joints is effectively used in diseases of the musculoskeletal system and in sports medicine.

Cases when high-intensity laser therapy is prescribed

High intensity laser treatment is indicated in the following cases:

‍

• inflammatory processes in the joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles;
• chronic pain in the back, neck or joints;
• injuries of soft tissues and ligaments after loads;
• arthritis, arthrosis, tendinitis, bursitis — symptomatic;
• rehabilitation after operations on the joints.

This method of treatment is based on the natural stimulation of the regeneration processes of the body, which makes it safe and universal for most patients.

Contraindications to laser therapy

Like any physiotherapeutic method, laser therapy has certain limitations. The procedure is not carried out with:

‍

• malignant neoplasms;
• acute infectious diseases;
• pregnancy in the first trimester;
• disorders of skin sensitivity in the area of exposure;
• blood diseases and heart failure;
• taking drugs that increase sensitivity to light.

Before prescribing HILT therapy, the doctor assesses the general condition of the body to avoid complications.

What is the effect of high intensity laser?

High-intensity laser therapy stimulates natural regeneration processes. Under the influence of radiation, metabolism is activated, blood microcirculation increases, tissue healing occurs faster. The patient feels a decrease in pain after several procedures.

This method of treatment is used to restore joint mobility, reduce swelling and reduce rehabilitation time. The effect is cumulative: with each procedure, cell nutrition and muscle tone improve.

With what methods are still combined with powerful laser therapy?

Laser therapy is often combined with other methods of physiotherapy. The best results are given by a combination of:

‍

• with magnetotherapy — to enhance the effect on blood circulation;
• with kinesiotherapy — to improve mobility after injuries;
• with massage — for muscle relaxation and prevention of spasms;
• with shock wave therapy — to accelerate the healing of ligaments and tendons.

This combination allows you to influence several levels of tissue at the same time, enhancing the overall effect of treatment. Appointment is individual, and the final decision is made by a qualified doctor.
