Pain Management
Pain is believed to originate from an ionic differentiation of potassium(K+) and sodium (Na+) ions across a cellular membrane. Theralase 905 nmsuper-pulsed laser technology increases cellular membrane permeabilityand causes a reabsorption of sodium and expulsion of potassiummolecules, removing the gradient and thus the pain signal at source.
Anti-Inflammation
LLLT has an anti-oedemic effect, as it causes vasodilation, but alsobecause it activates the lymphatic drainage system to drain interstitialfluid (drains swollen areas).Anti-Pain (Analgesic)
As a result of reduced inflammation, there is less oedema and thereforeless pain. LLLT stimulates vasodilation and lymphatic drainage, whichincreases the reabsorption of pain-causing products. LLLT delivers 905nm super-pulsed infrared wavelength light, which is absorbed by thebi-lipid layer comprising the cellular membrane and thus regulates thenerve cell's sodium-potassium pump. This pump maintains the potentialacross the membrane of a nerve cell, which leads to pain transmissionsignals. By regulating the pump, transmission of pain signals from thearea can be eliminated.
