Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT)

Soft tissue absorb the light from laser to have a beneficial effect on injury recover. Studies have shown it to improve wound healing, inflammatory arthropathies, soft tissue injury and the relief of pain. The treatment is completely 100% painfree and without any side effects.

High frequency sound waves cause vibration and warmth within the healing tissue which helps to speed recovery. Recent research has proven the effectiveness of ultrasound in stimulating fracture repair when used in low-dose pulsed mode.

Interferential therapy uses medically-effective low frequency electrical impulses to stimulate the nervous system. This produces therapeutic twitching contractions in muscle tissue, stimulates blood flow, reduces swelling and can relieve pain and spasm.

The nerves carrying pain messages are soothed, while the human body’s own pain relieving chemicals – endorphins, are released into the central nervous system.

Electrical current applied to muscle improves its activation, especially when injury or surgery has caused inhibition due to pain, in turn enhancing muscle strengthening, blood flow and assists with reducing swelling.

Electrical sensors detect muscle activity providing feedback to improve muscle control and contraction. Your physiotherapy will use this method to help re-train muscle weakness and dysfunction.
