Ulcerated Wounds

Patients who present with varicose ulcers or non-healing bed sores are likely to be in a compromised immune state and can therefore expect to benefit greatly from laser therapy since it is in such suboptimal conditions that the laser really makes a difference in terms of wound-healing. The effects of low level laser on wound-healing have been thoroughly researched in vitro, through animal studies and in humans. It is an ideal modality for treating such conditions providing as it does localised pain relief and mood enhancement via endorphin release as well as healing stimulation .
