Many of my patients ask me how my cold-laser therapy treatments
compare to ultra-sound treatments. Theoretically, ultra-sound
treatments are supposed to stimulate injury repair and accelerate
healing. Cold-laser therapy is claimed to also accelerate wound
healing. Several studies, however, prove that cold-laser therapy is FAR
more effective in wound-healing than ultra-sound. The most recent
study as published HERE
compared ultra-sound and cold-laser therapy treatments on bone-defects
in mice. The study showed that compared to both control groups and
groups treated with ultra-sound, mice treated with cold-laser therapy
showed intense bone formation surrounded by highly vascularized tissue.
In contrast, the group exposed to ultra-sound therapy showed no
difference in bone repair compared to the control group.
This latest study again shows how truly powerful and effective cold-laser therapy is for accelerating tissue repair.
