I received a surprise vist from a former patient of mine yesterday. She had a series of pain management treatments for her lower back almost a year ago, good result was achieved. In this blog entry though, I would like to talk about a pleasent "side effect" Low Level Laser Therapy had brought her - in addition to effective pain relief, her blood sugar level, along with HbA1c readings are back to normal!

Marina was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus many years ago, her blood glucose level was unstable at the time we met, even though she had been taking blood sugar lowering medications, in addition, Her HbA1c was worryingly high.

Low Level Laser is known to modulate our body's metabolism systemically. Monochrometic Light interacts with blood cells, activates specific cellular receptors in the process, energises the cells through stimulating the mitochondria to produce ATP more efficiently, in turn promoting intracellular homeostasis, while improved vescular transportation proterties (of circulation and lymph flow) help the removal of excess products from the system.

In addition to blood sugar levels, the above mentioned mechanism also modulates other blood properties, such as lipid, cholestrol and viscosity (stickiness). Which makes Low Level Laser Therapy an excellent modality to prevent stroke, and in case for patients who have had a stroke - LLLT improves their recovery and lowers the chance of future reoccurances.

At Sydney Laser Health, we now have protocols in place specifically targeting diabetes ( laser blood irradiation ) Unlike traditional methods that some may find on the internet - intravenous irradiation, our laser machines are designed to do so noninvasively, and thus completely pain free.
