BIOPTRON For Sports Injuries
Swiss-made BIOPTRON is a non-invasive, non-drug light therapy treatment that stimulates the body’s own healing mechanisms via molecular signalling, circulatory modulation, tissue regeneration and the all important inflammation reduction.
A number of commentators report that light therapy has its roots in the former Soviet Union and East European countries, where it was used to improve performance and injury recovery in both military and athletes.
Today, the
application of specific light wavelengths and energies to body tissues in
amateur or professional sports people elicits a complex chain of positive
biochemical responses.
I have
treated a wide variety of acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries and pain
with light therapy, (also known as photo-biostimulation). Specifically,
polarized light has a hugely positive impact on tendon healing and inflammation.
TREATMENT DETAILS
Use the BIOPTRON healing process for the following injuries:
- Tennis elbow;
- Golfers elbow;
- Shoulder rotator cuff strain;
- Tendonitis;
- Calf and Hamstring injuries;
- Groin Strain;
- Back pain;
- Swelling;
- Spasms and knots;
- Neck pain;
- Pre & Post training stiffness
- Plantar fasciitis;
- Many more…
The clear benefits of light therapy are that they reduce the discomfort of pain and inflammation while promoting blood flow and the body’s own tissue repair mechanisms. The net result in clinical studies of the penetrating polarized light from BIOPTRON suggests increased strength of tissue repair and minimal scarring.
In both soft tissue and connective tissue injuries, BIOPTRON can increase the final tensile strength of the healed tissue. By increasing the amount of collagen production/synthesis and by increasing the intra and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in the collagen molecules, the medical light therapy contributes to improved tensile strength. The preceding effects combine to achieve an accelerated healing rate. The time from onset of injury to mature healed wound is reduced.
BIOPTRON is simple to operate and safe.
Broadly speaking, the benefits of BIOPTRON for sports medicine can be listed as follows:
- Reduces inflammation
- Increases circulation
- Boosts endorphin production
- Blocks pain transmitting chemicals
- Accelerates healing
- Eases pain
- Non-invasive
- Pain-free
