Laser treatment plays a special role these daysamong non-drug therapies. Biostimulating effect on the human body is the effect on the living tissue of the directed light flux.
Advantages
Absorbing laser light, enzymes activateimportant biochemical processes, which contributes to the renewal of cells, restores their vital functions, including the mechanisms of self-regulation. Due to this, the natural forces of the living organism are mobilized. Laser treatment leads to the expansion of capillaries, improvement of blood microcirculation and nutrition of tissues. This accelerates healing processes in inflamed and affected areas. Such therapy increases immunity, blood viscosity decreases, and lymph flow increases. In addition, the level of cholesterol decreases, the mechanism of anesthesia is activated, the antimicrobial, antiviral and antiallergic effect is enhanced.
Indications
Laser therapy has proven itself intreatment of skin pathologies, inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary and respiratory systems, as well as certain diseases of the nervous, endocrine and cardiovascular systems. This increases the sensitivity of the body to classical medicamentous treatment, so the duration of the disease is reduced, and the dosage of drugs is reduced. Laser treatment practically does not cause side effects and is an indispensable means of preventing diseases.
This method of therapy has been used since the 1960slast century. Treatment of prostatitis with a laser has proven itself and is based on what causes a sharp heating of the damaged organ, briefly affecting the prostate tissue.
Today, this methodology is alsophlebology, since it removes the capillary mesh and vascular asterisks, birthmarks, hemangiomas, varicose veins. Treatment of veins with a laser is based on the principle of coagulation, which consists in the fact that when the energy absorbed by the blood vessels of the laser beam energy, hemoglobin of blood is heated, and the walls of the vessels are adhered. As a result, the vessel ceases to function. Coagulation is carried out percutaneously and endovasally, depending on the type and degree of damage. Laser treatment acts directly on the vessels, and surrounding tissues are not injured.
With varicose veins, trophic shin disorders and other diseases, the method of endovasal (intravenous) coagulation is more effective, which is considered to be minimally invasive and sparing.
Contraindications
Contraindications to laser therapy aremalignant and benign neoplasms prone to progression, pulmonary-cardiac and vascular pathologies in the stage of decompensation, thyrotoxicosis, diabetes mellitus during decompensation, active tuberculosis, excited and feverish state, diseases of the nervous system with extremely high excitability, and in some cases, individual intolerance of therapy . In complex treatment, antioxidants (eg Aevit, etc.) should be prescribed.
