BioFlex laser therapy
Laser therapy is a relatively new treatment option that has grown in popularity over the past few years. It is used to treat various conditions, both chronic and acute. At Kinesis Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre, we use the Bioflex Laser System to provide our patients with the best possible care.
Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a type of light therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing. The Bioflex Laser System emits two different wavelengths of light: red and near-infrared. Red light effectively reduces inflammation and pain, while near-infrared light penetrates deeper into the tissue to promote cell regeneration.
Benefits of Laser Therapy
The benefits of laser therapy are numerous. In addition to reducing inflammation and pain, it can also help to speed up the healing process by stimulating cell regeneration. Laser therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment option with no side effects.
Laser therapy can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
- Arthritis
- Chronic pain
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Muscle strains and sprains
- Back pain
Arthritis: Arthritis is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in the joints. Laser therapy can help to reduce both of these symptoms, making it easier for you to move and stay active.
Chronic pain: Chronic pain is any type of pain that lasts for more than three months. It can be caused by a variety of conditions, including injuries, nerve damage, and inflammation. Laser therapy can help to reduce chronic pain by stimulating the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals.
Tendinitis: Tendinitis is an inflammation of the tendons, which are the tissues that connect muscle to bone. It is often caused by overuse or repetitive motion. Laser therapy can help to reduce inflammation and pain associated with tendinitis.
Bursitis: Bursitis is an inflammation of the bursae, which are small sacs of fluid that cushion the joints. Laser therapy can help to reduce inflammation of the bursae, making it easier for you to move and stay active.
Muscle strains and sprains: Muscle strains and sprains are common injuries that occur when the muscles or ligaments are stretched or torn. Laser therapy can help to reduce inflammation and pain, making it easier for you to heal and recover.
Back pain: Back pain is a common condition that can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strains, poor posture, and injuries. Laser therapy can help to reduce inflammation and pain, making it easier for you to move and stay active.
How Does Bioflex Laser Therapy Work?
Bioflex Laser Therapy is a form of low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) that uses laser energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. The laser light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the cells, increasing cell metabolism and promoting healing.
How Does it Compare With Other Laser Therapy Systems?
Bioflex Laser Therapy is the most advanced laser therapy system on the market. It offers a higher power density than any other laser therapy system, which means it can penetrate deeper into the tissue and promote faster healing.
The Bioflex Laser System features a multisource diode array unique to Bioflex that delivers a broad spectrum of laser wavelengths. This allows the therapist to target different depths of tissue, making it an ideal treatment for a wide range of conditions.
The Bioflex control unit also features intelligent thermal control, ensuring optimal power delivery to the tissue while protecting the skin from overheating. The software is user-friendly and features customizable protocols, making it easy to tailor treatments to each patient’s specific needs.
How Long Does a Treatment Take With Bioflex Laser Therapy?
Clinical research suggests that the optimal treatment time for most conditions is 20 to 60 minutes. The treatment time will depend on the condition being treated, the size of the area being treated, and the desired results.
Other laser systems on the market typically have a shorter treatment time but a lower power density, which means they are not as effective.
Low-Intensity Laser Therapy vs. Thermal Laser Therapy
Laser therapy can be divided into two main types: low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) and thermal laser therapy. Thermal laser therapy uses high-intensity laser light to destroy tissue. It is commonly used for cosmetic purposes, such as skin resurfacing. Low-intensity laser therapy, on the other hand, uses lower-intensity laser light to stimulate the body’s natural healing process.
How Does Bioflex Laser Therapy Compare to Other Conventional Treatment Methods?
Bioflex Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that is FDA cleared and clinically proven to be safe and effective. It is an alternative to conventional methods, such as surgery, drugs, and injections.
Conventional treatments for conditions like chronic pain, tendinitis, and arthritis can often be invasive, expensive, and have potential side effects. Bioflex Laser Therapy is a safe and effective alternative that can provide relief from pain, inflammation, and stiffness without the risks associated with conventional treatments.
The Bioflex Laser System can influence the pathology at a cellular level, which is the foundation of healing. It is this unique ability that makes Bioflex Laser Therapy an effective treatment for a wide range of conditions.
