(continued from previous page) These physiological changes affect macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, mast cells and nerve conduction rates. After treatment, there is a measurable increase in enzymes and neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, that proves LLLT has had physiologic effect. Also, measurable changes in blood flow occurs. The American Veterinary Lasers use light in the infrared spectrum that has been shown to have the greatest depth of tissue penetration. The cumulative effect of the light energy upon the tissue is to increase microcirculation, speed healing and give pain relief. It is important to note that this form of laser light does not heat or damage the tissue nor does it induce tumor or bacterial growth. |
