SHULKON HIGH INTENSITY LASER:
A HANDSFREE SOLUTION FOR EFFECTIVE HEALING
The 6000 High Intensity Laser (HIL) is the first Robotic Intelligent Scanning System with the highest power approved by Health Canada. Its power of 10-30 Watts and ideal wavelength of 1064nm allow for effective light penetration deep into the tissues.
The HIL offers a powerful form of pain management, healing, and regeneration through a natural process of energy transfer. It’s effective in the treatment of a multitude of acute and chronic conditions and sport injuries including muscle strain or joint distortion, arthritis, low back pain & sciatica and impingement syndrome to name a few.
Pulsed
The analgesic effect of the High Intensity Laser occurs mostly when using the pulsed mode where therapy is delivered in very short pulses at a very high frequency. The pulsed mode has the ability to create actual pressure. The pressure waves are carried through the tissue where they stimulate nerve endings and activate the gate control mechanism of pain relief. The analgesic effect of the High Intensity Laser is instantaneous and long-lasting.
The mechanical waves created by the High Intensity Laser stimulate local microcirculation and lymph drainage of the area being treated. Combining biostimulation and photomechanical stimulation, the High Intensity Laser therapy actually heals the tissue while providing a non-addictive form of pain management.
The energy delivered by the High Intensity Laser speeds up cellular metabolism and increases the speed of resorption of proinflammatory mediators. Decreased concentration of proinflammatory mediators restores capillary permeability and results in elimination of inflammation.
Continuous
The term biostimulation refers to stimulation at the cellular level to facilitate and speed up healing and recovery. Faster exchange of oxygen and metabolites due to laser irradiation causes more oxygen atoms to reach the mitochondria. Mitochondria are further stimulated to increase the synthesis of ATP which leads to faster recovery.
The thermal effect of the High Intensity Laser is caused by the absorption of the 1064 nm wavelength in the superficial tissues. Warming the superficial tissues decreases of scatter and absorption coefficients and allows for even deeper light penetration. Thermal effect also causes vasodilatation. As a result, blood perfusion increases, larger amounts of oxygen are delivered to the tissues and more metabolites are resorbed.
The energy delivered with continuous High Intensity Laser therapy causes superficial hyperthermy in the tissues and consequently vasodilatation. As increased perfusion passes more blood through the treated area, the muscles relax, pain decreases and range of motion is improved.
