Laser therapy is a non-invasive and useful treatment method that is known today as a widely used modality in physiotherapy clinics.
Infrared electromagnetic energy enters the body through laser photons and helps the healing process by increasing tissue heat, and blood flow and increasing cell metabolism.
By increasing metabolism and metabolism in the body, laser therapy provides the energy available to cells for repair and regeneration to a greater extent and is therefore known as one of the most effective and widely used treatment modalities in physiotherapy.
Today, two types of laser devices are used more than other types of laser devices for therapeutic purposes.
High-power lasers penetrate deeper into the tissue with more energy than low-power lasers and transfer more energy to the target tissue.
Laser therapy, along with other physiotherapy modalities such as magnet therapy, shock wave therapy, electrotherapy, and… helps to treat diseases and injuries of the skeletal and nervous systems.
Pregnant women, people with severe hypersensitivity to light, and people with skin diseases and chronic blood should not be treated with a laser device.
The patient's need for laser treatment sessions is determined by the physiotherapist after the initial examination and visit, according to the severity of the disease and the physiotherapist's diagnosis.
