Did you know we had a laser in our hospital? Laser therapy can be an amazing tool to use for treating many different conditions. We can use our laser for all of the following: Acupuncture Points and Trigger Points: Traditional Chinese acupuncture points are stimulated by a focused laser beam, used solely or in combination with acupuncture needles, to produce a systemic effect; high doses of laser therapy may be used to deactivate trigger points (hyperirritable spots that induce pain elsewhere in the body) found in muscle, ligaments, tendons, and periosteum. Pain Management: For acute or chronic conditions, especially beneficial in reducing pain from arthritis and neurological pathologies; can reduce or eliminate the need for pharmaceuticals in certain cases. Skin Conditions: Ulcers, dermatitis, lick granulomas, burns, hot spots, pressure sores. Tissue Healing: Accelerates cellular reproduction and growth, reduces inflammation, swelling and formation of scar tissue, prevents tissue damage and death. Wound Healing: Induces cellular proliferation; increases formation of new blood vessels, activates collagen (the protein necessary for tissue replacement and repair) and DNA synthesis; prompts growth factor release; reduces wound closure time; increases breaking strength of the wound. Anti-Inflammatory: Creates vasodilation, activates the drainage process of the lymphatic system, reduces the mediators that incite irritation. Musculoskeletal System: Sprains, strains, fractures, ruptures, disorders, degenerative conditions. Neurological: Remediation of peripheral nerve injuries and spinal cord lesions; improves nerve function; accelerates nerve regeneration. Bone Repair: Improves healing times after trauma or orthopedic surgery (can be used over metal hardware). Infections: Viral, fungal, bacterial (laser therapy stimulates the immune system). Intraoperational Procedures: Can be used during surgery to directly affect damaged tissues. Musculoskeletal System: Sprains, strains, fractures, ruptures, disorders, degenerative conditions. Neurological: Remediation of peripheral nerve injuries and spinal cord lesions; improves nerve function; accelerates nerve regeneration. Oral Problems: Gingivitis, stomatitis.
