The high power laser is an electronic device that has the ability to emit laser light with a specific frequency and high power.
This ability of the high power laser allows that light to reach the vertebrae and deep musculature, as well as the nerves of the spine and neck.
The laser light at a specific frequency allows to stimulate the cells of the organism, activating, for example, the cells to fight inflammation and thus they can be treated in a natural way, stimulating the organism itself. In addition, laser light has a strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory action.
In which cases is high power laser used?
Generally, the high power laser is used with the objective of obtaining a much faster improvement in the patient. The stimulation of the organism makes it possible to reduce inflammation problems and quickly treat pain. For this reason, specialists use it as a complement to DAVID treatment.
On the other hand, it is also used in conjunction with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), to make them even more effective, as well as in the treatment of some muscle contractures.
The advantages of using high power laser
The great advantage is that it is equal or more powerful than a corticosteroid, but without the side effects of these.
This type of laser is very common, for example, in American soccer teams, as well as in other professional sports in the United States. Even some elite athletes travel with high power laser equipment to be treated by their medical teams or physiotherapists.
The risks of high power lasers
In general, it is a very safe technique, as it has no side effects.
However, it is important to control the dose of energy received, because it is such a powerful source of energy that it could increase, for example, blood pressure.
On the other hand, if it is not carefully administered by qualified personnel, it could cause burns.
