Certain wavelengths of light have the ability to penetrate high-water content material such as animal tissue. This penetration allows the process of photobiostimulation on animal cells is similar to photosynthesis in plant cells whereby light sets in motion a chain of chemical reactions. In human tissue the resulting photochemical reaction produces an increase in the cellular metabolism rate which expedites cell repair and the stimulation of several systems: the immune, lymphatic and vascular.
LED
(Light Emitting Diode) Therapy
Our bodies use light as a source of energy. The energy from
light has shown to help heal wounds. We often have more energy and
feel better on bright sunny days.
NASA has been using LED color therapy for the past 30 years to
accelerate the healing process for their astronauts while in space.
It was noted that astronauts with wounds, broken bones or damaged
muscles and cartilage would not heal quickly unless LED therapy was
applied.
The Space program is now looking at light energy to help heal
astronauts. In space, wounds are slow to heal. Muscles and bones
become weaker from time spent in space. Using light as a way to help
the astronauts is a good thing.
Shortwave Diathermy increases circulation, stimulates and increase in white blood cells and relaxes spastic muscles.
High volt
High Volt is used for pain reduction. It is a muscular
rehabilitation exercise, which increases circulation and reduces
muscle spasm.
Interferential
Interferential reduces painful symptoms and decreases local
swelling. It releases the body's natural pain killers, helping to
accelerate the healing process.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is used to relax spastic muscles.
Manipulation
Helps restore joint mobility and slow or halt degenerative joint
disease; reduces pain and inflammation to aberrant joint movement.
Traction
Traction reduces swelling and restores normal elasticity to
muscles. Other benefits of traction include: reduced fibrotic scar
tissue, re hydrates IVD, and reduces nerve impingement.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses acoustic vibrations that penetrate into deeper
layers of the tissues, breaking down scar tissue, reduces swelling,
and aids in reducing calcified spurs.
X-Rays
X-Rays are used to check for degeneration or fractures of the
bones.
Light or photon energy with the unique
property of being able to penetrate up to two inches below the skin
surface causing an increase in cellular metabolism with no tissue
damage whatsoever. More about Cold Lasers.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a painful and disabling disorder characterized by inflammation and swelling in the tendons that run through the narrow carpal tunnel in the wrist, and one of the most common of repetitive stress injuries. More about Carpal Tunnel.
