Near Infrared Therapy vs Laser Therapy
The use of near-infrared light in the form of low-level laser therapy has become more popular in the treatment of a variety of conditions where increased peripheral blood flow is desired. The hypothesis behind its working mechanism is its purported ability to generate nitric oxide (NO) in the treated area. We tested the hypothesis that the efficacy of near-infrared light lies in its ability to generate NO at the treatment site.
The visible light spectrum ranges from short-wavelength violet to long-wavelength red. Photons of light from violet end of the spectrum have the highest energies and the highest frequencies, while red photons have lower energies and lower frequencies. Beyond the range of our vision are the longer wavelengths of the infrared and the shorter wavelengths of the ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Near infrared therapy is tested more safe than laser therapy, and it can promote angiectasis and improve local blood circulation.
Near infrared therapy for diabetes becomes more and more popular and gain great reputation, it will gain more future trends to treat diabetes and relieve pain for people.
