Photobiomodulation
beneficial for pain, sporting injuries, acute and chronic wounds, tinnitus, vertigo, nerve damage, disinfecting
Photo biomodulation (PBM) uses red or near-infrared light to stimulate, regenerate, heal, and protect tissue that has been injured, infected, or at risk of dying. PBM refers to the modulation of a biological system by utilising photons. This therapy uses non-iodising light sources in the visible and infrared spectrum (lasers, LEDs, and broadband light) ensuring the wellness of the patient. The therapeutic outcomes include wound healing, tissue regeneration and alleviation of pain. PBM is also used for healthy individuals to improve cognition, skin health and anti-aging, recovery after competition or intense training and pre-conditioning.

WOUND HEALING, TISSUE REGENERATION, MANAGING INFLAMMATION AND REDUCING PAIN
3 main processes of PBM:
1. Generation of ATP cellular energy, this energy is responsible for vital roles of the cell’s biological activity e.g. metabolism
2. Production of beneficial reactive oxygen species, important for healing and cellular repair
3. Release nitric oxide to promote vasodilation, increases blood flow and decreases inflammation
