How does Laser Therapy & Cryotherapy help you?

High-intensity class 4 laser therapy

High-Intensity Laser therapy is a device that produces lights of one or more specific wavelengths. It can treat inflamed, torn, or damaged tissue by transmitting energy that spreads through the tissue. A high-intensity laser can speed up healing, & recovery and reduce pain.

Non-invasively, high-intensity lasers penetrate the skin, spreading into the muscle, tendon, subcutaneous fat, and bone tissues.

The high-intensity laser produces a photo-acoustic effect to stimulate the free nerve ending in the tissue and cause nearly rapid pain relief in the area. 

The thermic effect of high-intensity laser therapy is caused by the absorption of the laser beam in the superficial structures which consequently causes a temperature increase in the tissue. The thermic effect also causes vasodilation as a consequence blood profusion increases, larger amounts of oxygen are delivered to the tissue and more metabolites are resorbed.

Benefits of High-intensity class 4 laser therapy:

  • It is non-invasive,Deep tissue penetration,Immediate pain relief,Useful in treating muscle or joint injury,Trigger Point relaxation.

Medical effects are:

  • Analgesic effect,Improve healing,Microcirculation stimulation,Anti-inflammatory effect,Bio-stimulation,Thermic effect,Muscle relaxation.

High-intensity class 4 laser therapy can be used in;

  • Sports injury,Trigger point,Sprain,Herniated Disc,Cervical pain,Lower back pain,Degenerative Arthritis,Muscle strain.

Cryotherapy

After injury or surgery, cryotherapy is used to treat the affected area with cold. This may be done by the use of various forms of cold applications like- ice, frozen gel pack, or by evaporative spray. At Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre, CryoAir offers highly advanced cryotherapy which shows results in a much shorter amount of time than other cryotherapy machines.

Cryotherapy is believed to control pain by instigating local anesthesia. It also decreases edema, nerve conduction velocities, cellular metabolism, and local blood flow.

Cryotherapy can be beneficial in:

  • Reducing pain,Removing swelling,Anti-inflammatory effect,Improvement of angular movement,Muscle relaxation,Accelerating tissue repair,Reduces spasticity,Reduces muscle spasms,Myofascial trigger point,Muscle guarding,Acute ligament sprain,Acute contusion,Bursitis,Tenosynovitis,Tendinitis,Delayed onset muscle soreness,Reduces arthritic pain,Numbs nerve irritation,Strength training.
