Treatment of Osteoarthritis
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT), is a highly effective, non-invasive, and drug-free treatment for various ankle heel and foot soft tissue injuries. Led by Dr Shikha Parmar, a GP with expertise in managing and resolving chronic musculoskeletal pain utilising LLLT as part of a holistic management plan. LLLT involves the application of red and near-infrared light to promote cellular repair in injured tissues. LLLT is safe and painless, and targets the root cause of the injury, unlike pain medications that simply mask the symptoms. Supported by scientific research from respected institutions such as Harvard University and NASA, LLLT is an evidence-based therapy for the aid of pain and dysfunction of osteoarthritis.
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.
