  1. High Intensity Laser Therapy For Back Pain

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  7. 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.
