Treatment of Elbow Pain
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) also known as Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMt) is the application of red and near infrared light over injuries to stimulate cellular repair. LLLT is highly effective, completely safe treatment in Melbourne, Victoria. It is painless, and has no effect on normal tissues. LLLT treats the underlying cause of the injury unlike pain medication which just masks the pain. It is a treatment modality supported by research from reputable institutions including Harvard University and NASA. LLLT is an evidence-based therapy for soft tissue injuries, such as tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis).
GP, Dr Shikha Parmar, has a special interest in providing a drug-free safe, effective treatment solution in Melbourne for acute injuries and chronic pain using Low Level Laser Light therapy also termed Photobiomodulation or PBM Therapy.
PBM Therapy reduces oxidative stress which is accepted as the underlying trigger for most diseases, inflammation and degenerative conditions.
Unlike drugs and surgery, PBM Therapy
- actually promotes regeneration
- reduces inflammation and pain
- is non-toxic
- is non invasive
- has no side effects, as the lasers used are not sufficiently strong to damage cells.
EVIDENCE-BASED:
- Over 700 Randomised Controlled Trials have been published using PBM Therapy devices
- The technology has featured in over 7,000 laboratory studies.
PBM Therapy is used in thousands of clinics, hospitals and elite sports institutions in over 70 nations.
