Principle of High-Intensity Laser Operation
High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) falls under physiotherapy and is performed using a specialized device. In some cases, this method can be used independently without the use of tablets that negatively affect the gastrointestinal tract. Primarily, laser treatment aims to alleviate painful sensations. This is especially relevant for the treatment of the spine and joints with a laser in Kyiv.
The generated pulse penetrates deep into tissues up to 10 cm, providing a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. Not only does it reduce pain, but it also addresses the focus of inflammation, improves the functioning of cartilage, muscle tissue, nerve endings, and blood vessels.
The high power of the beam does not harm surrounding tissues. The risk of mechanical trauma and burns is minimized. The process is entirely under the control of the specialist, and it can be stopped at any time.
Rapid and Long-lasting Relief from Back and Joint Pain
Using a laser with a wavelength of almost 1000 nm in extremely short pulse mode gives BTL's High-Intensity Laser unique therapeutic characteristics - the ability to create mechanical waves in biological tissue.
The wavelengths of 1064 nm and 980 nm are specific due to their high absorption by tissue structures saturated with fluid. When waves of this length reach the skin surface, they create a photomechanical wave in biological tissues. This mechanical stimulation of free nerve endings and other pain receptors in the subcutaneous tissue immediately blocks pain conduction pathways in the nervous system, providing immediate pain relief.
Furthermore, these mechanical waves locally stimulate microcirculation and contribute to the lymphatic drainage of the pathological area. By combining biostimulation and photomechanical stimulation, High-Intensity Laser Therapy effectively heals tissues and serves as a powerful means of pain relief that does not lead to habituation.
