Is Laser Therapy Safe?
When it comes to pain, people will do anything to get rid of it. Whether it is medications, surgery, acupuncture, you name it, and they will try it. However, there can be many consequences when it comes to specific procedures or medications. Various side effects can occur such as complications with surgeries or chiropractor adjustments and the possibility of addiction to drugs. Many people don't realize that there is another pain treatment that is safe for your body with little to no side effects. Laser therapy is a safe alternative for pain relief. It is a procedure that uses light to heal and increase the healing process. Let's discuss some of the reasons why laser therapy is a safe pain treatment.
Laser therapy is FDA approved.
In 2003, laser therapy was cleared by the U.S Food and Drug Association or FDA. The FDA's role is to investigate and research different products such as human drugs, animal drugs, medical devices, food, cosmetics, and other products that emit radiation. Their goal is to protect public health and make sure these products rightfully do so. But what does it mean to be FDA approved? When the FDA approves something, it means that the benefits of the product far outweigh the risks. Therefore, the FDA sorts through a significant amount of scientific research and evidence to determine whether a product is safe for animals and humans. The FDA cleared laser therapy with a power output of 65 watts, proving that laser therapy is one of the safest treatments available even at the highest wattage.
Laser therapy is non-invasive.
Unlike surgery and other pain treatments, laser therapy is a safe option because it is a non-invasive procedure. When it comes to surgery, there can be many unexpected side effects or complications along the way. Any time that you have to make an incision, there are chances for problems to occur. Invasive procedures always have risks, such as failure to close an incision correctly, hemorrhaging, blood clots, and infections post-surgery. Also, when anesthesia is involved, even if it is very unlikely, there are always chances for patients with serious health concerns to come out with strokes, heart attacks, damage to their brain, or even the possibility of death. Anesthesia is nothing to play with and can have severe complications if not properly administered. There is no need to make incisions with laser therapy, remove tissue or organs, or go under anesthesia. Laser therapy is a safe alternative pain treatment that is available for anyone.
The lasers are harmless to tissue.
Laser therapy incorporates lasers of light to increase the healing process in your body. During the procedure, light penetrates subdermally, directly into the source of pain. The lasers are placed on the skin for short, controlled periods of time and move in a continuous movement. These lasers are not harmful to the tissue because the treatments are so fast. High power lasers use 65 watts and are therefore very effective at achieving results in a short time. Although lasers are harmless, yet very useful, when placed on the skin for a quick session, they can be harmful if placed on the skin for prolonged periods. The lasers used do not cut the skin or tissue-like surgical lasers do. These lasers are used to gently relieve the pain and inflammation at the very surface in which it occurs, so it is permanently removed.
