YÜKSEK YOĞUNLUKLU LAZER TEDAVİSİNİN KAS İSKELET SİSTEMİ HASTALIKLARINDA KULLANIMI

Abstract

Yüksek yoğunluklu lazer, fizik tedavi uygulamaları arasında kullanımı giderek artan, etkili, noninvaziv, ağrısız bir tedavi yöntemidir. Düşük yoğunluklu lazer tedavisine göre, kısa sürede derin doku penetrasyonu ile yüksek lazer enerjisi sunabilen, yeni ve güçlü bir tedavi şekli olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Fotokimyasal, fototermal ve fotomekanik etkilere sahip olan yüksek yoğunluklu lazer tedavisinin analjezik, antienflamatuar, antiödem ve miyorelaksan gibi birçok etkisi vardır. Bu terapötik etkilerinden dolayı çeşitli kas iskelet sistemi hastalıklarında sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Yüksek yoğunluklu lazer tedavisinin subakromiyal sıkışma sendromu, adeziv kapsülit, diz osteoartriti, lateral epikondilit, karpal tünel sendromu, servikal ve lomber disk hernilerinde etkinliği kanıtlanmıştır. Ancak plantar fasiit tedavisinde kullanımında çelişkili sonuçlar mevcuttur.

Use of High Intensity Laser Therapy in Musculoskeletal Disorders

Abstract

High intensity laser is an effective, noninvasive, painless treatment method that is increasingly used among physical therapy applications. It has emerged as a new and powerful treatment method that can deliver high laser energy with deep tissue penetration in a short time compared to low-intensity laser therapy. High intensity laser therapy, has photochemical, photothermal and photomechanical effects, as well as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiedema and myorelaxant effects which make it a frequently used treatment option for various musculoskeletal disorders. The effectiveness of high-intensity laser therapy has been proven in subacromial impingement syndrome, adhesive capsulitis, knee osteoarthritis, lateral epicondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical and lumbar disc herniations. However, there are conflicting results in the treatment of plantar fasciitis.
