Cardiovascular disease is the NO.1 leading cause of death worldwide. It is broadly defined to include anything which adversely affects the heart or blood vessels. One-third of Americans have one or more forms of cardiovascular problems. By estimation, the average human life expectancy would increase by seven years if the problems were eliminated.
The mainstream medical approach mostly seeks to manage the cardiovascular disease with pharmaceuticals or surgeries. These methods are effective in relieving symptoms and saving countless lives. Yet drug may be costly in the long term, and it carries the risk of side effects while often doing little or nothing to improve the underlying health concerns. Similarly, surgery is an invasive method that induces high risk and requires a long period of recovery.
On the other hand, cold laser therapy, as an alternative treatment for cardiovascular diseases, regenerates tissue, stimulates biological function, reduces inflammation and alleviates pain. Its efficacy and safety have been increasingly recognized in many types of cardiovascular diseases. Implementing cold laser therapy in the treatment of cardiovascular disease offers the possibility of increasing the health and wellbeing of patients while reducing costs and enhancing the safety of medical care.
What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), refers to a wide variety of procedures involving several laser types and treatment methods. It uses red beam or near-infrared nonthermal lasers with a wavelength between 600 and 1000 nanometers and from five to 500 milliwatts.
When applied, the lasers penetrate the surface of the skin without actually heating or damaging the skin tissue. It is believed that laser light can penetrate deeply into skin cells and reach the site of damage or injury.
The Healing Effect of Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy accelerates tissue regeneration, promotes the energy and production of formative cells. One fundamental way in which cold laser therapy energizes living cells is through photon absorption to activate the respiratory chain and increase the synthesis of ATP. By increasing energy in the body, cold laser light can profoundly stimulate the biological function of cells, tissue, and system and thus improve your overall health and vitality.
Case Study
Atherosclerosis is the common root of most cardiovascular diseases. In 2006, a group of scientists studied 60 elderly and senile patients with atherosclerosis. 50 patients were treated with a combination of traditional medicines and cold laser therapy, and another group of 10 patients was treated with traditional medicines only. The data obtained after the experiment showed that cold laser therapy gave better results and its therapeutic effect lasted for 3 months in most patients.
