What do you know about laser therapy? Have you ever considered having laser therapy?
There are many different types of laser therapy and benefits of receiving it, so let’s dive in.
What is DolorClast® High Power Laser?
High power laser is an effective tool in the treatment of soft tissue injury and is a well-tolerated form of pain management.
The DolorClast® High Power Laser provides a quick and strong analgesic effect without the need for conventional pain killers by mimicking the effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) without the common side effects and effectively kick-starting the healing process.
We will often use the DolorClast® High Power Laser in combination with the DolorClast® Extracorporeal Shockwave Treatment and exercise rehabilitation as a combined ‘Guided DolorClast® Therapy’, as an optimal, evidence-based treatment protocol to kick start the healing process.
How does DolorClast® High Power Laser work?
The DolorClast® High Power Laser was designed to work at a specific wavelength within the ‘therapeutic window’. At this wavelength (905nm) the laser will penetrate the tissues deeply rather than being mostly absorbed by water, blood or melanin. As a result, the laser can trigger biological mechanisms crucial for the healing process, offering a quick pain relief and absorption of oedema.
