Low Level Laser Therapy (LLT)
WHAT DOES IT DO
Through the action of photo-stimulation of light reactive biological receptors (chromophores) in the body, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has demonstrated the ability to significantly accelerate and enhance the body’s natural defense and repair components in the presence of injury, inflammation and certain disease processes. By modifying the effects and limiting the duration of inflammation as well as enhancing specific repair and healing processes, LLLT is consistent in providing pain relief, reducing injury damage and loss of function, in addition to facilitating more rapid repair and stronger healed tissue structures.
Benefits of ML830 Pain Relief Program are as follows:
Increased collagen production
Enhanced nerve regeneration

    Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been the standard treatment for PCV for years. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (Anti VEGF) agents (bevacizumab and ranibizumab) were introduced later on. Several studies reported better visual outcomes with anti-VEGF agents than with PDT. However, the rate for regression of polypoidal lesions was lower than that with PDT. So the optimal treatment for PCV is still controversial.…

    The use of sun protection has become a much more common topic of conversation among the general population over the last decade. This can be attributed to several different factors. In some instances, environmental concerns over depleting ozone and higher levels of radiation penetration are the cause. Another important reason is that well over half of all new cancers in the United States are skin cancers (Capelle, 2006, pg. 1). Ultra-violet (UV) light is the cause of these cancers. There are several types of UV light. According to Gonzaga sunlight is made up of a broad spectrum of light. This spectrum is divided by wavelength in UV light. There are three types of UV light; UVA, UVB, and UVC (Gonzaga, 2009, 19). UVC is almost completely absorbed by the ozone. UVA and UVB are the two types of UV light that penetrate and affect people. UVA penetrates deeper into the skin and can cause immediate darkening of pigments, there is increasing thought that UVA may have more to do with photodamage than thought previously (Gonzaga, 2009, 21). UVB light ranges from 290 mm to 320 mm and is carcinogenic. It does not penetrate as deeply into the skin as UVA, however it has several acute effects including…

    Radiation Therapy

    Ms. Kristin Goetz, the Clinical Coordinator for Radiation Therapy at CCBC, came to Eastern Technical High School to speak with the Allied Health students about the Radiation Therapy program and profession. Radiation Therapists (RT) use high power x-rays to treat tumors and keloids. Therapy only treats the site of disease contrary to chemotherapy, which goes directly into the bloodstream and kills cells all over the body. The oncologist writes a prescription for radiation based on the patient’s stage of cancer and the therapist uses the linear acceleration machine to program the radiation. Therapists see patients daily from Monday to Friday and give the patients the weekends off for their bodies to recover. Therefore, most RTs only work on weekdays from 8am-4:30pm and are on call on weekends. Goetz says her favorite part of the job is that she cures people and can see the contrast from when they come in and when they leave. As a Radiation Therapist one does not get any radiation at all being that, once the patient and machine are set, the RT leaves the room. One of the benefits of the job is that the RT develops a relationship with their patients. In order to be successful at the job, an RT should have a good personality, be detail oriented, be able to detach their emotions, and work as a team.…

    Also, Mr immune system has a soft spot for every part of an individual’s body and the skin is not an exception; when you get sunburn from tanning or overexposure to ultraviolet radiation, the immune system tries to pump blood to that area (the reason why the area feels warmer and looks really red), to help rectify the problem. This doesn’t just end here because the skin cells you destroyed as a result of tanning, or overexposure to ultraviolet radiation would want to take vengeance on the individual. How does it do this ? - it secretes chemicals and transfers it to the brain (you know, a secret message to Mr brain in a bid to take vengeance on its temporary enemy- you !) which translates it as pain, making you feel pain in the real…

    The Ideal Inflammation

    • 235 Words
    • 1 Page

    Inflammation is a biological process orchestrated, induced by microbial infection or tissue damage. A major trigger of inflammation is the recognition of microbes by specific receptors of the innate immune system, which play a crucial role in the induction of the first signals that initiate and establish the inflammatory framework [1]. A primary function of inflammation is to resolve the infection and repair the damage in order to achieve the balance of homeostasis. Thus, the ideal inflammatory response is rapid and destructive, but specific and self-limiting [2]. The importance of this balance is demonstrated by the results of certain chronic infectious or inflammatory disorders, according to which the inflammatory response causes more damage…
