Laser therapy

Laser techniques have been introduced into many fields of our everyday life. Laser beams consist of energy-rich condensed light focussed on a tiny area with an optimal penetrative effect, which stimulates cellular activity. This causes, among other things, an improvement in metabolic activity at cellular level. Laser therapy also promotes fast healing in injured or overloaded soft tissue.

Cervical spine
- Migraine

- Neuralgia

- Osteoarthritis in the    cervical vertebrae

- Muscular sclerosis in the neck

- Muscle and tendon strains, microspastic lesions in the cervical vertebrae

Back / hip joints
- Painful muscular sclerosis

- Bruising and straining of the    spine and hip joints

- Osteoarthritis of intervertebral and hip joints

- Intervertebral disc wear and sciatic disorders

- Inflammation of the synovial bursa in the hip region

Sphere of application

Pain-causing ailments occur as a result of wear, overload or injuries in muscles, tendons and ligaments in the region of the spine or in the limbs. Pain-causing conditions often have lasting effects, especially in the case of osteoarthritis (cartilage wear in the joints) and in delayed healing of soft tissue. But these conditions need not necessarily be lasting as they can be specifically alleviated or remedied with the help of laser therapy.

Shoulder joints
- Shoulder pains in osteoarthritis

- Periarthritis

- Bruises and strains

- Tendonitis and bursitis

Knee joints
- Meniscus lesions and osteoarthritis

- Bursitis

- Ligament injuries

- Patellar clunk syndrome

- Bruises and strains after accidents

Principles of treatment

Laser therapy is applied on points of the surface of the body (scanning). For acute disorders, 4-6 sessions are often enough. Chronic disorders may require 10-12 sessions. The treatment causes no pain, and depending on the area being treated, lasts from 10 to 25 minutes. Laser therapy has no side effects. After the session the patient may occasionally feel relaxed or even tired.

Elbows / hands
- Epicondylitis (tennis/golfer’s elbow)

- Bruises, strains and osteoarthritis in the elbow and wrist joints

- Tendon and muscular pains

- Osteoarthritis in the fingers and wrist

Achilles tendon / feet
- Achilles tendonitis

- Heel spurs

- Bursitis

- Bruises, strains and osteoarthritis in the ankle and foot

- Transverse flatfoot ailments

Laser therapy often improves or eradicates many acute and chronic ailments. Laser therapy can be applied in parallel with other therapies.
