What is Laser Therapy?

Laser Therapy represents a breakthrough in non-invasive medical treatment, utilizing specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular healing and reduce pain. At Advanced Orthospine, we use high power Laser as this advanced photobiomodulation technology provides precise, targeted healing solutions  for many conditions from soft tissue to bone, and whether acute or chronic. Laser activates the body’s natural regenerative processes.

Laser Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that:

Our iLux LF HPS is high-intensity laser designed for the treatment of pathologies of the musculoskeletal system such as lumbago, cervicalgia, tendon inflammation, epicondylitis, shoulder pain, arthrosis, as well as contractures, sprains and many others.

Our high intensity Laser is a powerful and accurate tool able to meet all therapeutic needs.

The photochemical effect of iLux Laser generates deep biostimulation in the tissues thus reactivating cell metabolism.
In terms of therapeutic effects iLux Laser guarantees mitochondrial stimulation which increases the ATP production and activates microcirculation and lymphatic peristalsis. The hyperpolarization of the nerve fiber membranes generates an analgesic effect, while the conversion of prostaglandins to prostacyclins (with consequent blocking of the
inflammatory mediators) activates an immediate anti-edema and analgesic effect.

Our Laser has various wavelength : Its 810 nm wavelength activates the oxidative process of haemoglobin, accelerating ATP production.The correct energy supply promotes regeneration of muscle and tendon tissue.

The 1064 nm wavelength is highly directionable, it delivers the right dosage of energy on the noxa, with excellent synergy between antalgic effect and control of inflammatory processes, as well as deep activation of metabolic processes. Being the meeting point between low-power lasers and high-intensity lasers, with iLux Laser, the device takes advantage of the extensive power range of THEAL Therapy, which opens up the application possibilities of phototherapy by combining low-energy laser therapy (LLLT) and high-intensity laser therapy.

Frequently asked questions

Laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin and tissues. These wavelengths are absorbed by cells, stimulating the production of ATP (energy) within the cells. This enhances the body’s natural healing process, reduces inflammation, and alleviates pain.

Laser therapy can treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal and soft tissue injuries, including:

  • Tendonitis and tendinopathies (e.g., Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff injuries)
  • Muscle strains and tears
  • Joint pain and stiffness
  • Arthritis and osteoarthritis
  • Back and neck pain
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Soft tissue injuries (e.g., sprains and strains)
  • Ligament injuries
  • Post-surgical recovery

Yes, laser therapy is generally considered safe when performed by a trained and qualified healthcare professional. It is non-invasive and does not involve the use of drugs or surgery. The energy levels used in therapeutic lasers are low and do not cause harm to the body.

A typical session of laser therapy lasts between 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the severity of the condition. The number of sessions required may vary, but most treatment plans involve multiple sessions over a few weeks.
