Photobiomodulation is a cutting-edge, noninvasive form of phototherapy that promotes long-term healing and improves one’s quality of life. It’s a science-backed modality known for its exceptional effectiveness in reducing pain, accelerating recovery, and revitalizing overall tissue health. At My Pain Clinic, we offer this advanced Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy as part of our non-invasive, drug-free approach to pain relief, tissue repair, and long-term recovery.
What Is Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy?
Photobiomodulation (PBM Therapy) or Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a therapeutic technique that employs unique wavelengths of laser or LED light to stimulate healing at a cellular level. It’s a device designed to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain without the need for surgery, injections, or pharmaceuticals.
PBM is widely recognized and supported by numerous clinical studies, with applications across a wide range of conditions, from sports injuries and chronic pain syndromes to post-operative rehabilitation and nerve damage.
How Does It Work?
PBM operates at the mitochondrial level, acting on an essential protein called cytochrome c oxidase, which is involved in cellular energy production. When the cells are exposed to precise doses of red or near-infrared light through the device, the protein absorbs the energy and in result enhances the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of cells.
This increase in ATP triggers a cascade of healing responses:
- Increased cellular metabolism
- Reduced oxidative stress
- Improved blood flow
- Speedy tissue repair
- Reduced inflammation
The result is a quicker recovery time, improved cellular function, and pain relief, all without the side effects associated with traditional treatments.
The Application of PBM Therapy has been used for addressing numerous conditions, including:
- Application in Neural Disease Treatments: Transcranial PBM enhances blood flow and ATP production in the brain, benefiting patients with traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, and depression.
- Painful Diabetic Neuropathy: The therapy may improve microcirculation, reduce pain, and enhance nerve function in patients with diabetic neuropathy, offering non-drug relief for chronic symptoms.
- Dermatology: It can stimulate collagen and promote skin firmness, reducing wrinkles. It also helps with hair regrowth using specific wavelengths to reactivate follicles.
- Periodontal and Peri-Implant Therapy: It helps control inflammation and supports tissue healing in gum diseases and around dental implants, making it a valuable addition to standard care.
- Muscle Tear: PBM boosts muscle regeneration by enhancing blood flow and cellular repair, helping reduce pain and downtime after muscle injuries.
- Ligament Tear: By promoting collagen synthesis and reducing inflammation, PBM supports the healing of torn ligaments and improves joint stability.
- ACL Tear: PBM aids post-injury or post-surgical recovery in ACL tears by reducing pain, improving mobility, and stimulating tissue regeneration at the cellular level.
Two Types of PBM Therapy for Targeted Care
At My Pain Clinic, we understand that healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Which is why we offer both low and high power density PBM treatments, tailored to meet the specific needs of individual condition. Through the use of these two approaches together, we aim to provide optimal results, addressing both the source of pain and the underlying inflammation.
- Low Power Density: Ideal for superficial tissue repair, perfect for wound healing, tendons, joints, and skin-related conditions. This mode induces anti-inflammatory effects and supports long-term healing.
- High Power Density: Used for deep tissue therapy to offer immediate pain relief, this mode temporarily blocks nerve conduction in pain fibers, offering analgesia that can last up to 24 hours. This neural blockade offers quick relief, especially beneficial for patients with acute or chronic pain.
Our highly trained physiotherapists at My Pain Clinic use state-of-the-art THOR laser systems and personalized treatment protocols to ensure each session delivers the right amount of light energy, every time. This approach leads to maximum benefit without any unwanted side effects.
