In addition to our low-level laser therapy, we also offer high-level laser therapy (HILT) at our practice. HILT is a form of laser therapy that uses a powerful laser with higher power than low-intensity lasers. This allows the laser light to penetrate much deeper into the body (up to several centimetres), unlike low-intensity lasers, which are limited to superficial tissues.
The effect of HILT can be partly thermal (heat effect in deep tissues), but also biochemical. It influences cell metabolism, blood flow, and regulation of inflammatory responses. This combination can reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle tension, while promoting tissue repair and blood flow.
