Laser therapy. A woman patient receives low-level laser therapy to her neck. The patient's profile is seen with the red beam of a laser being applied under her ear. This type of therapy is known as low-intensity laser therapy. Low-intensity beams stimulate tissue healing and reduce pain,inflammation and swelling. Laser therapy works by improving blood and lymph flow and reducing the production of prostaglandins,substances which stimulate inflammation and cause pain. Higher intensity laser treatment is used commonly in medicine to cut through tissue,seal small retinal tears and destroy small tumours | |
