Deep Tissue (HIGH POWER) LASER therapie

High Power LASER therapie

= Photo Bio Modulation

In my career I have worked with many LASERs.

As early as 1986 (at that time I was involved as a physiotherapist at VBV ''De Graafschap'' and Handball Association ''de Gazellen'') I started treating sports injuries with LASER therapy with great success.

Even with the then Class III (much weaker) Lasers it gave a faster healing and pain relief. But with the current generation of Class IV Lasers, it goes even deeper, faster and more effective.

This Class IV LASER that I am now working with is no less than 300,000x more powerful than the Class IIIb LASERS of ''back then'' and that leads to short treatment sessions and fast results!!

Since 1994 I have made many people happy with the effects of the Class IV Copper Vapor LASER, the Erbium:Yag LASER, the KTP LASER and the Robijn LASER for skin treatments in my then Laser Center. So there is a lot of expertise present.

The word LASER is an abbreviation, it is the initials of the physical process, an acronym.

(Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation).

It is a treatment mode that directly affects the functioning of the tissue and the cells in it. Simply put: the cells communicate with each other by means of (light) energy. If that mechanism breaks down, tissue damage occurs. If you pump extra energy into it via LASER, it greatly promotes the regeneration capacity, and [therefore] recovery!

This LASER is also now set up in the practice. It is used for pain syndromes with trigger points, jaw problems, and for some sports injuries, but also for unexplained pain complaints, such as ACNES Pain Syndrome. ShockWave and PE Therapy are also often used for this with great success. What is most suitable for you, will be explained to you by the practitioner.

Wat is High Power LASER-therapie?

High Power Laser Therapy (also called Photo Bio Modulation) is the application of red and near infrared light (810 AND 980 Nanometer wavelength) to injuries or lesions. This locally improves blood circulation and metabolism enormously, and therefore faster recovery, faster healing of wounds and tissues, reduces inflammation and irritation in tissue and ensures a rapid reduction of pain in acute and chronic pain.

High Power LASER is used for:

To increase the speed of tissue repair, the quality and tensile strength of tissue
To resolve inflammation
Pain relief (analgesia) in acute or chronic injuries

How does LASER Therapy work?

Our High Power Laser Therapy has a thermal and photochemical effect; just like photosynthesis in plants. When the right intensity and treatment times are used, this Laser will reduce oxidative stress and increase ATP production [energy in the cell]. This ensures an improvement of cell metabolism and a decrease of inflammation.

Which complaints can be treated with LASER?

Our High Power Laser is effective for the following complaints:

Sprains and strains
Wounds and abrasions
Bruises (hematomas)
Ligament and tendon injuries
Inflammations
Joint complaints
Myofascial Trigger Points and other Pain Points
Fascia complaints
Chronic and acute pain
Minor and non-healing bone fractures
Post-operative wounds
Osteoarthritis, e.g. hand osteoarthritis, knee osteoarthritis

Benefits of LASER Therapy

Some benefits of High Power Laser Therapy:

Pain-free treatment and often even an immediate reduction in pain complaints during the treatment
Recovery time is dramatically shortened with rapid reduction in swelling and inflammation
Non-invasive and very patient-friendly

Are there any disadvantages?

Actually none.

But still, there are 2 simple things to keep in mind:

You should always wear protective goggles because the emitted wavelength is harmful to your eyes if you look directly into the beam, even at meters distance. Both the practitioner and the patient and possibly. companions.
Depending on the handpiece used, the treated spot can become slightly warm, sometimes even a little hot. This starts with a slight tingling sensation and then quickly becomes hot. The patient must therefore indicate in time if this happens. However, if you keep moving the handpiece enough, this will not occur.
