Lasertherapy
Low-level laser therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment that uses low-power lasers to promote cell regeneration, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate tissue healing. This technique, which uses red or infrared light, is applied directly to the affected area and works by blocking nerve conduction, releasing endogenous opioids, and increasing cellular metabolic activity.
How it works:
- Absorbed Light: Laser light is absorbed by the cells of the lesion, triggering biochemical reactions and altering cellular metabolism.
- Therapeutic Purposes: Low-level light has a photobiomodulatory effect, activating tissue regeneration and repair processes.
Benefits and Indications:
- Pain Reduction: The therapy helps block nerve impulses, reducing the perception of pain and releasing the body's natural painkillers.
- Inflammation Control: Laser therapy acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, helping to reduce inflammatory processes.
- Accelerated Healing: Increased cellular activity accelerates the tissue repair process, making it useful in the treatment of wounds, injuries, and post-operative care.
- Common Indications for Maternal and Child Health:
