High Power Laser Therapy in Berkley

High Power Laser Therapy (HPLT) is a treatment often used for musculoskeletal injuries, peripheral neuropathy and diabetic neuropathy. If you have been involved in an auto-accident and have an acute injury, whether to your shoulder, knee, or even your neck, then HPLT could be for you. It is also useful for sports injuries, repetitive strain injury, and other similar conditions.

Dr. Manela has helped people with whiplash, frozen shoulder issues, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, broken bones that are healing slowly, and chronic.

How Does HPLT Work?

This treatment works by increasing the circulation of blood to the affected area, and also improving oxygenation of the blood so that the body can heal itself more efficiently. The light photons support the tissue's own healing process and increase metabolic activity within the cells. As more blood flows through the body, more nutrients can be transported to the cells and more waste material can be transported out of the body more efficiently. This means that inflammation and swelling are reduced, muscle spasms stop, and there is less stiffness and pain. This treatment is drug-free, non-addictive, pain free, and for the vast majority of people, there are no side effects.

Laser therapy treatments are becoming increasingly popular because they are so well received by the body, therefore making them very effective. Surgery and prescription drugs can carry with them an element of risk; even minor surgeries have the potential for infection of the wound. There are also certain risks associated with the anaesthetic used during these medical procedures. Prescription drugs may interact with other medications someone is taking or could have unwanted side-effects. Non-invasive laser therapies are considered to be a lower risk compared to the more traditional western medical treatments.
