Benefits of Endonasal Laser Therapy

christine Acu-LLLT, Alternative Medical Therapies

Therapy with Low Level Laser is a painless, noninvasive, biophysical therapeutic intervention. Consequently, red and near-infrared light-induced photobiomodulation therapy appears to emerge as a promising drug-free approach for promoting health benefits. Therapeutic effects result due to the penetration power of the light beam, in conjunction with their ability to positively modulate the biochemical and molecular responses.

Indications for Low Level Laser Therapy

Reduction of pain and inflammation,
Augmenting tissue repair and promoting regeneration of different tissues and nerves, and
Preventing tissue damage in situations where it is likely to occur.

Benefits of LLLT therapy in Nasal Application

Endonasal Laser Therapy

Improves rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, acute rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis
Balances High Blood Pressure
Reduces High cholesterol levels and High blood lipids,
Decreases High blood sugar and High blood viscosity
Minimizes the Risk of a heart attack
Reduces risk of stroke
Abates inflammation and swelling
Energizes cell activity
Strengthens the immune system
Regulates blood flow and circulation
Enhances oxygen carrying capacity
As an Adjuvent treatment for the prevention of Thrombosis, Heart Attack and Stroke.

Alzheimer’s Disease Managed with Infrared light therapy

christine ACUPUNCTURE > NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES, Acu-LLLT, Alternative Medical Therapies, Health and Medicine News, ευ LLLT, ACUPUNCTURE > Psychosomatic Disorders

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common, chronic progressive, neurodegenerative disorder slowly resulting in dementia. Furthermore, its etiology and pathogenesis is complex, with many genetic and environmental risk factors including stress and insulin resistance.

Pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease

The main morbid hallmarks in Alzheimer’s disease have long been recognized as extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and intraneuronal hyperphosphorylated tau protein, which are the main contributors to the development of pathology.

How to Manage Alzheimer’s disease?

Photobiomodulation (PBM) describes the therapeutic use of red or near-infrared light (Low Level Laser Therapy LLLT) to stimulate healing, relieve pain and inflammation, and prevent tissue from dying. Consequently, PBM has been applied for a diverse range of brain disorders. Moreover, it is frequently applied in a non-invasive manner, that is by shining light on the head.

Research has demonstrated that:

Alzheimer’s Disease

Transcranial PBM can enhance ATP biosynthesis, regulate mitochondrial homeostasis, and facilitate neurogenesis and/or neuroplasticity [1].

In addition, the clinical studies found that LLLT could improve cognition and decrease depression, anxiety, headache and insomnia in patients with chronic traumatic brain injury [2,3,4].

Several clinical studies have demonstrated its value in raising neurometabolic energy levels that can improve cerebral hemodynamics and cognitive abilities in humans [5].

LLLT can decelerate neurodegenerative disease progression and reduce amyloid β levels in the cortex [6].

Acupuncture, Acu-LLLT for Nasal Polyps/Nasal Congestion/Rhinitis

christine Acu-LLLT Post a Comment

Acu-LLLT acupuncture is the application of therapeutic LLLT (Low Level Laser Light Therapy) whilst using the principles of acupuncture.

It is a painless treatment, without side effects and most suitable for children.
Fibre optics create an equivalent needle-effect that allows the excitation of up to 10 acupuncture points, due to its optical power density, and the energy of the laser light trigger the acupoint as a a needle would in traditional acupuncture therapy.

Acu-LLLT acupuncture emits specific laser light which directly affects specific receptors in the cell and stimulates the so-called cellular metabolism. This reduces inflammation, swelling and oedema of the nasal chambers in conditions such as allergic rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis or other forms of nasal congestion and runny nose.

Acu-LLLT acupuncture can be used as a single method or in combination with medical acupuncture to further enhance the therapeutic effect.

History of Intravenous LLLT therapy

christine Acu-LLLT

Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI) was extensively used in the 1940s and 1950s to treat many diseases including septicemia, pneumonia, tuberculosis, arthritis, asthma and even poliomyelitis. (UBI) was extensively used in the 1940s and 1950s to treat many diseases including septicemia, pneumonia, tuberculosis, arthritis, asthma and even poliomyelitis. Irradiation was recognized and in fact in 1903 Finsen won the Nobel Prize for UV light in the treatment of skin tuberculosis.
In 1920 a UV treatment device was developed for Ultraviolet blood irradiation by Emmet Knott.

The technique is known as:

Ultraviolet Blood Radiation (UVBI)
oxygenated blood therapy (HOT) or
IVF

The advent of antibiotics has led to a reduction in the use of UVBI as a treatment option, but today, with the increasing incidence of antibiotic-resistant infections and the desire for more natural therapies, ultraviolet therapy is once again enjoying increasing popularity.

Analgesic effect and increased mobilization of joints with Acu- LLLT

christine Acu-LLLT, ευ LLLT, Chronic Pain

Acu-Laser Therapy (LLLT), ie the use of therapeutic light waves are a very common therapeutic method that is constantly evolving. How does LLLT treatment work? LLLT (Light Level Laser Therapy) has a direct effect on the cells and causes biostimulation, it has anti-edematous properties and offers complete recovery. It allows for adaptation of cellular energy, thus, improving the interaction with the peripheral nervous system to reduce joint and muscle pain and ultimately heal them.

Acu-LLLT is implemented for therapeutic purposes as it causes photochemical reactions through absorption of light rays by the tissues. They have a highly tonic effect on cells and tissues, thus, they are also called biostimulating LLLTs. They have no thermal reaction and are completely safe. LLLT treatment is extremely effective in pain and joint mobilization from the very first session, offering immediate relief and the start of rehabilitation.

Pain Management with Therapeutic Laser

christine Acu-LLLT, Alternative Medical Therapies, Musculoskeletal Disorders

Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is a very popular therapeutic method which is continuously evolving.

How does LLLT therapy work?

LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) affects the cells directly and causes biostimulation, it also has anti-edematous properties and offers complete cellular and tissue recovery. It improves the body’s interactions with the peripheral nervous system in order to reduce joint and muscle pain and ultimately heal them. LLLT cause photochemical reactions through the absorption of LLLT light rays by the tissues. As the laser light increases the energy levels of the cells and tissues, they are also called biostimulating LLLTs.

They do not cause a thermal reaction and are completely safe.

LLLT therapy is extremely effective in pain management and joint mobilization from the very first session, offering immediate relief and the beginning of rehabilitation.

Reducing pain and inflammation,
augmenting tissue repair,
regenerating tissues and nerves, and
