The Physiological Effects of Low Intensity Laser Therapy
Short Term Effects
Production and release of beta-endorphins (these are morphine like substances produced by
various cells in the body that inhibit the sensation of pain)
Cortisol production is increased (cortisol is the precursor of cortisone). This enables the body
to combat the stress associated with trauma or the disease process
The short-term effect is significant in 5-10% of cases during or after the conclusion of the
initial treatment, but is not as important as the long term or cumulative effect
Long Term or Cumulative Effect
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production is increased resulting in improved cellular
metabolism
DNA (deoxyribonucleicacid) production; the protein building block of tissue is substantially
increased
Neurotransmission is facilitated due to elevated levels of serotonin and aceytylcholine
Mitochondrial activity is stimulated resulting in cell replication etc. (i.e. replacement,
regeneration and repair of abnormal cells)
Modulation of macrophages, fibroblasts and other cells
Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)
Regulates cell membrane potential, essential in Na, Cl and K ion transfer (electrolyte
balance)
Cytokines and other chemicals enhancing cellular communications are released
Other Effects
The immune response is stimulated
Lymphatic drainage is improved
The histamine response is positively altered
Production of growth hormone is increased
The body's natural healing processes are enhanced
The beneficial physiological changes noted above are
the result of cellular stimulation and tissue regeneration. Many other positive activities are
modulated including the humoral and cerebral spinal fluid effects which are highly significant and
are currently under investigation in research laboratories in order to accurately delineate the
scientific aspects of this process.
