least five vital processes – increased motility of cells and organelles, transport of nutrients, synthesis of ATP (energy) within the mitochondria, bacteriophage activity (destruction of bacteria) or the initiation of new cell cycles (Ryberg, 2004) Susceptibility to laser or LED irradiation depends on physiological status of irradiated cells. Diseased cells are more sensitive to radiation than normal healthy cells (Karu, 2002). 3.2.1.5 Reported Laser Effects Professor Bradley states, in his presentation on the therapeutic effects of lasers, that research has showed that lasers show beneficial effects on both cellular and physiological levels. Reported cellular effects include an increased growth factor response, energy production (ATP synthesis), cell proliferation, cell motility and the synthesis of DNA and proteins. Physiological effects include increased angiogenesis (blood formation) and alteration of blood flow, enhanced matrix remodelling of damaged cells, modulation of metabolism of neurochemicals (i.e. seratonin, cortisol, acetylcholine and endorphins), altered nerve conduction, reducing nociceptor activity and immune response. This means that lasers have the potential to improve cellular and physiological functions to the extent that there is an increase in energy, faster and more efficient growth of new cells, and pain reduction. The changes it produces during the inflammatory phase, contraction and re- epithelisation and matrix remodelling of the injury site, results in accelerated and efficient healing of wounds. These responses allow the laser to be a valuable aid in the treatment of acute injury (Bradley, 2002). 3.2.1.6 Treatable Conditions (Bradley, 2002) The following conditions are known to respond positively to laser treatment: a. Acute Injuries/trauma: Muscle and ligament tears, fractures and subluxations. b. Musculoskeletal: Repetitive strain injuries, rotator cuff tears, carpel tunnel syndrome, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, fibromyalgia and temporomandibular joint pathologies. 35PDF Image | THE USE OF LIGHT AND COLOUR AS A HEALING MODALITY
