Why Use High Intensity Laser Therapy For Back
Pain?

• High intensity laser therapy for long lasting
  pain medication has been used in injury recovery
  for several years, under the denominator of laser
  therapy, but treatment techniques have undergone
  a revolution relatively recently, with a change
  that is more qualitative than quantitative.
• It is about the use of high intensity laser in
  physiotherapy, which changes the possibilities of
  application. In this article, we will explain why.

• First of all, it is convenient to know that using
  the high intensity laser therapy for back pain in
  physiotherapy involves sending an electromagnetic
  beam to a certain area of the human body, in this
  case for therapeutic purposes.
• Laser therapy acts on the cells under the
  principles of biostimulation and photomechanical
  stimulation.
• In physiotherapy, the laser can work under
  different intensities or powers, on which the
  wavelength will also depend.

• The low intensity of the lasers applied in
  physiotherapy led many to distrust the treatments
  performed using this tool.
• According to this study (see study), the
  effectiveness of the use of low intensity laser
  in the treatment of sports injuries is 65.9, a
  remarkable but partial figure.
• The high intensity laser provides obvious
  advantages because it mitigates the pain inherent
  to the treatment, reduces inflammation, and
  improves healing, helping with the biochemical
  effects.

5

• Increases metabolic activity by acting on the
  mitochondria. This can reduce healing times.
• There is an increase in vasodilation.
• Improves lymphatic drainage.
• These stimuli act on inflammation.
• Increase pain threshold. Photomechanical
  stimulation inhibits pain sensation and provides
  long lasting pain medication.

6
What is it for?

• High intensity laser therapy for back pain can be
  used to treat a wide range of physical problems,
  from muscle injuries and tendinopathies to
  degenerative joint disorders.
• That is why the high intensity laser is a very
  useful tool for advanced physiotherapy.
• Our physiotherapist ensures that he usually uses
  it in combination with other techniques, although
  also sometimes as a single therapy, up to twice a
  day and varying the intensity.

What uses usually gives to the laser therapy
technique

• For treating injuries with associated
  pathologies, such as osteoporosis.
• As high intensity laser therapy for back pain
  provides advantages by mitigating pain and long
  lasting pain medication, it can be used
  successfully in cruciate ligament surgery or knee
  replacement, affecting the scar.
• In post-surgical patients, it is useful for the
  treatment of external scars.
• In patients with plantar fasciitis problems,
  whether they are athletes or not.
