ROBOTIC LASER THERAPY (High-Intensity Laser
Therapy)
High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) is a non-invasive
physiotherapy technique used to treat chronic and acute musculoskeletal pain.
This technology utilizes high-intensity laser light to penetrate deep into
tissues, aiming to accelerate healing processes.
Conditions It Treats
Robotic laser therapy (HILT) is commonly used for the
following conditions:
Musculoskeletal
Disorders
- Muscle
and ligament injuries
- Tendinitis
(e.g., tennis elbow)
- Plantar
fasciitis
- Muscle
spasms and chronic muscle pain
Joint Disorders
- Osteoarthritis
(knee, hip, shoulder)
- Rheumatoid
arthritis
- Shoulder
pain
Back and Neck Pain
- Herniated disc (lumbar and cervical)
- Sciatic
nerve pain
Injuries
- Sports
injuries
- Soft
tissue injuries
- Edema
and bruises
How It Is Applied
Treatment Process
- The
patient sits or lies in a comfortable position.
- The
area to be treated is exposed.
- The
laser device is applied at a close distance to the targeted area.
Session Duration
- Sessions
typically last 5-15 minutes.
- It
can be applied 2-3 times a week. The duration of treatment depends on the
patient's condition and the doctor's recommendations.
Painless and Relaxing Procedure
- Patients usually do not feel any pain during the procedure. A
mild warmth from the laser may be experienced.
Advantages of HILT
- Non-invasive: No
surgical procedures required.
- Rapid Results:
Can quickly alleviate pain, especially in acute conditions.
- Deep Tissue Penetration: Reaches deeper than traditional physiotherapy methods.
- Minimal Side Effects: When applied correctly, side effects are minimal.
Contraindications for HILT
- Pregnancy
- Cancerous
tissues
- Epilepsy
(may trigger light sensitivity)
- Active
infections
- Bleeding
disorders
