Cold Laser Therapy vs. Ultrasound in Bone Repair

(0)
Friday, July 30, 2010

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.
