The LASER radiation, penetrating the tissues, causes photochemical reactions at
cellular level that induce different effects.
Mitochondrial Stimulation
: one of the most therapeutical effects of the
LASER, consists in stimulating cellular mitochondrion. Mitochondrions are the
energy generators of each cell, responsible for the production of ATP (adenosine
triphosphate) that constitutes energy reserve of the cell. The
ATP
is produced by
ADP
(adenosine diphosphate) plus
Pi
(phosphate) plus
E
(energy) therefore,
ATP=ADP+P+E
.
The more ATP is present in a cell, the healthier and more energetic it is.
It has been proven that cells stimulated by LASER light increase their
production of ATP and, therefore, if inflammatory or degenerative processes are
in progress, they have sufficient energy to quickly recover the optimal health
state.
Activation of the microcirculation:
One of the effects deriving from using the
high power LASER, is the distinct vasoactive effect on the microcirculation. The
activation of the microcirculation entails greater oxygenation and nutritional
input, as well as greater drainage of the catabolite from the tissues.
Activation of the lymphatic peristalsis:
The LASER light accelerates the
lymphatic peristalsis, which facilitates absorption of interstitial liquids and the
reduction of oedemas of phlogistic and post-traumatic origin.
Hyperpolarisation of the membranes of the nervous fibres:
Experimental
studies have proven that the therapeutical LASERS determine the
hyperpolarisation of the membranes of the nervous fibres. This effect appears to
be linked to the closing of the membrane channels for potassium, due to
amendments of the superficial lipoprotein. The hyperpolarisation causes the
elevation of the excitement threshold of the pain receivers.
Transforming prostaglandin in prostacyclin:
The therapeutical LASERS
stimulate the forming of prostaglandin in PG12 prostacyclin, which have
antiphlogistic, anti-edemigenous and analgetic action.
