How Does Laser Pain Management Work?

To understand how lasers help manage pain, you need to know how light interacts with cells. Lasers can be calibrated to penetrate the outermost layers of your skin and stimulate the cells deep in the tissues.
As the end result, lasers and low level laser therapy can make your nerves less receptive to pain signals by lowering the production of pain-eliciting chemicals. Depending on the modality used, this treatment attenuates nerve endings or increases mitochondrial activity. The combination of these two factors can have powerful pain-reducing effects that do not require medication.
What Kinds of Pain Can Lasers Alleviate?
Lasers have found several uses in pain management. For dental treatments, lasers can alleviate pain resulting from:
- TMJ
- Gum grafts
- Tooth extractions
- Root sensitivity
- Other oral surgery
We can also use lasers to lessen the effects of other non-dental conditions that have resulted in inflammation or swelling.
