What effect does laser therapy have on inflammation?

Laser therapy, particularly Class IV laser therapy, has a well-documented effect on inflammation. This treatment is designed to reduce inflammation by promoting biostimulation at the cellular level, which helps modulate the inflammatory response. The laser light penetrates the tissues and focuses on enhancing cellular metabolism, improving circulation, and stimulating the lymphatic system, all of which contribute to diminishing inflammation and accelerating the healing process.

In addition to reducing inflammation, laser therapy aids in tissue repair and regeneration. It facilitates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) within cells, enhancing their function and promoting faster recovery from injury. This mechanism is critical in managing acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, making laser therapy a valuable tool in therapeutic practices aimed at reducing pain and enhancing recovery.

Other options suggest negative or neutral effects on inflammation. However, the primary therapeutic goal of laser therapy is to counteract inflammation, leading to better patient outcomes and a significant decrease in symptoms associated with conditions linked to inflammation.
