What is PhotoBioModulation?

PhotoBioModulation Therapy(PBMt)

PBMt is an old technology that was known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT). LLLT was discovered in 1967 by Endre Mester at Semmelweis Medical University in Hungary. PBMt has evolved through the years and unlike LLLT, PBMt has made considerable progress in the medical field, earning recognition from experts and scholars. There are over 700 PBM clinical trials and over 8,000 laboratory studies that have been published. PBMt has proven more effective and safer than pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories (NSAID). It has been found that the use of Red and Infrared Lights improves healing and reduces muscle fatigue and muscle damage. Several studies have demonstrated that PBMt is effective in increasing the growth of skin and muscle cells, supporting nerve healing, increasing collagen production, and helping in stem cell proliferation. Furthermore, it is clinically proven that PBMt helps in reducing wound healing time by 50 percent.

After presenting a significant amount of clinical data, the FDA has certified PBMt as safe and with nonsignificant risk. With the right dose, PBMt can be used as an alternative to Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) for the treatment of pain and to stimulate tissue healing.

How Does PhotoBioModulation Work?

Studies have shown that light can stimulate cells into changing their internal processes. In this therapy, light is administered near or in contact with the desired regions of the body.

Here, light induces a series of complex physiological reactions in the diseased and damaged tissues. Interestingly, the biological effects of light are not limited to wound healing and tissue regeneration; it was also found to enhance the performance of normal cell tissues.

When Should PhotoBioModulation Be Used?

There are many potential applications for PBMt that are being explored at the clinical level. Currently, PBMt is being used to relieve the pain and inflammation caused by sports injuries. It is the recommended treatment for neuromusculoskeletal pain caused by either aging or injury.

The treatment parameters and number of therapy sessions vary depending on the cause and severity of the injury. Usually, it takes more than one session to feel pain relief.

Benefits of PhotoBioModulation Therapy

 Reduces Pain and Inflammation

Inflammation is the main cause of Pain. PBMt is also used to reduce swelling, edema, and other forms of inflammation through vasodilation. Vasodilation causes the lymph vessels to increase in size, resulting in drainage, which also aids in the healing process. There are also studies that showed that PBMt helped increase cerebral blood flow, also reducing neuroinflammation.

Boosts Collagen Production

Clinical data has shown that PBMt helps increase the production of collagen which, in turn, leads to healing wounds and preventing the formation of scars. As another benefit, the boost in collagen production can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to make a person look younger. It can also help reduce acne scarring and redness.

Prevents Injuries

According to some sports trainers, doing a full-body PBMt before working out effectively warms up the body by increasing blood circulation. This helps delay the onset of muscle tiredness, which helps prevent injuries.

Helps With Pain from Sports Injuries

PBMt has been adopted as part of sports injury rehabilitation and pain management. PBMt makes pain management and injury rehabilitation faster. PBMt can be used to treat common sports injuries such as pulled hamstrings and various muscular pains on location.

Cell Regeneration

One of the discrete mechanisms of PBMt that happens within the mitochondria plays a key role in regulating the aging process. The wavelength absorbed by the mitochondria increases the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which in turn helps cells regenerate faster.

Treatment for Brain Disorders

Transcranial PhotoBioModulation (tPBM) Therapy is the application of light to treat a wide and diverse range of brain disorders. Studies have shown the beneficial effects of tPBM Therapy to the brain of stroke patients. tPBM can stimulate the formation of new connecting nerves and clear plaques of aggregated proteins in the brain, which is the cause of Dementia, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Body Dynamic Solutions PhotoBioModulation Clinic has treated a local 80 plus year old client using our Transcranial PhotoBioModulation Memory Care device for 30 minutes a day for the past 20 months. This tPBM Therapy has slowed the progression of our client’s Alzheimer’s Disease.
