Laser Therapy
What is Low Level Laser Therapy?
Laser instruments are manufactured in a variety of shapes
sizes. Some are handheld as with cordless telephones; others
are pencil-thin and aimed like flashlights. One hand-held
laser, the Q1000, incorporates four light-emitting diodes
and four laser diodes with red and infrared laser outputs.
The light-emitting diode (LED) is a light source with a
relatively narrow band. We use the Q1000 which is useful for
healing the treatment of chronic pain and inflammatory
conditions.
These physiological effects of low level laser therapy are
achieved by the light’s re-energizing (repolarizing) injured
and malfunctioning cell membranes. LLLT also increases the
mitochondria’s energy output within the cell by more than
150 percent.
The extra energy becomes a repair and restoration mechanism
so that the damaged cell begins to thrive once again.
Advantageous actions of low level laser therapy take place
in all organs and tissues of the body for the creation of
good cellular functioning once again. This is achieved by
the following
-
A reduction of pain by the body’s
production of endorphins
-
The diminishing of inflammation from
suppression of tissue excitation
-
The stopping of a tissue’s influx of
fluids
-
The disappearance of swelling, redness
and heat
-
The elimination of pain
-
The elevation of lymphatic drainage
-
The increase of blood circulation
-
The flow of healing enzymes into a
traumatized area
-
The canceling wave effect of viruses,
fungi, bacteria and a variety of parasites so that they
fail to survice as pathological organisms.
Q1000 Laser Offers Seven Different
Treatment Modes including:
Mode 1 for acute and chronic pain, inflammation,
wounds, burns, tendons, ligaments, bone injuries, muscle
spasms and muscle relaxation. Use to re-energize muscle,
ligament and tendon cells. Also benefits tendonitis,
arthritis, sprains, cuts, bruises, muscle pulls, sore
throat, and any pain or inflammation.
Mode 2 for harmonizing anything to do with the heart
and brain and unwinding the adrenal glands and nervous
system. Use to benefit headaches (including migraines),
normalizing brain neuro-peptides and heart cell energy.
Mode 3 is used as a multi-organ cell re-energizer
that cycles through 29 different frequencies proven
effective and beneficial for healing and restoration of
gland and organ functions. This multi-frequency mode is used
to alleviate inflammation and disorders of all internal
organs - including kidney, liver, bladder, pancreas, ovary,
testes, uterus and endocrine glands. It can be used on all
organs as well as for viruses, herpes, low level infections,
sinuses, wounds, pain and for muscle relaxation.
Laser Dentistry and Low Level Laser
Therapy
When choosing a Cold Laser for Dentistry applications,
doesn't it make sense to use a laser that has been developed
by a wholistic dentist? The Q-series of lasers developed by
Dr. Larry Lytle, DDS has a track record of over 10 years
with success in laser dentistry. The laser probes 660 and
808 cold laser enhancer probes can be used for countless
applications and are idealy suited for comfortable and
effectively use in over 24 dental application. There are 230
positive studies done by 81 universities from 37 different
countries showing from 80 to 95% success using Low Level
Laser Therapy (LLLT) on over 24 different dental procedures
including for the following conditions:
-
Alveolitis (bone infection)
-
Anesthetic — used alone to replace or
in conjunction to enhance the depth or profoundness of
dental anesthetic
-
Aphthae ulcers (canker sores)
-
Bleeding — postoperative bleeding
control
-
Caries — Used prior to drilling to
PREVENT tooth hyperemia and postoperative pain
-
Dentitio dificlis — pain around the
coronal tissue of either primary or permanent teeth
-
Endodontics — root canal — used to
flush bacteria out of dentinal tubules and reduce pain
associated with root canal
-
Extraction — used before and after to
control bleeding, pain, and speed healing
-
Gingivitis (bleeding of the gums)
-
Herpes Zoster (cold sores)
-
Hypersensitive dentine - usually at
gum line — many over the counter tooth pastes are sold
with less benefit than LLLT
-
Implantology — reduces inflammation,
speeds healing, reduces inflammation, and increases bone
growth
-
Jaw fractures
-
Leukplakia (precancerous tissue)
-
Lingua geografica
-
Lip wounds
-
Mucositis associated with cancer
medications
-
Nausea — used prior to taking
impressions to prevent gagging
-
Nerve injury
-
Oedema (swelling)
-
Oral surgery
-
Orthodontics
-
Pain regardless of the cause
-
Pediatric dental treatment
-
Periodontics
-
Prosthetics — denture sores
-
Secondary dentin formation
-
TMJ/TMD (temporomandibular joint and
associated muscle disorders)
