| Using Laser Therapy, The Laser Cure offers hope for wounds that have not responded to conventional treatment. Patients with poor blood circulation, diabetes or long term immobilization most frequently suffer from chronic wounds. Other wounds result from traumatic injury, burns, non-healing surgical incisions or other diseases.
If you have a wound that won’t heal, ask your physician about a referral to The Laser Cure.
Laser Therapy
Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT or laser therapy) speeds up the recovery process by delivering light energy (photons) to the cells. The cells use this energy to assist in the natural healing process. This process is also known as photobiostimulation.
Since the laser is low intensity (it does not burn tissue like high-powered lasers), it is painless and has been in use for over 20 years with no known side effects.
This is why laser therapy is ideal for wound healing.
The Wound Healing Program
Our program includes regular visits to the wound care clinic where a Registered Nurse will provide treatment, assess progress and make any adjustments that may be needed.
In addition to the traditional approach of wound cleansing, dressing changes and protection, we use laser therapy for wound-healing.
During your visits, you or your caregiver will receive detailed instructions about caring for your wound at home, changing dressings and protecting the wound from further injury.
You play an essential role in the healing of your wound. Attending appointments, following instructions and observing wound healing between visits are important. We encourage you to ask questions at any time.
Personalized Treatment Plan
For us to develop a personalized plan of care suited to your diagnosis and personal needs, we will first perform a complete evaluation to determine the most effective course of treatment.
At your first visit, we will assess your wound and physical condition. We will review your medical history and ask questions about your health. We will work with your primary physician if tests are required. We may need to conduct special tests that give us information about blood and oxygen flow in the wound area.
Based on your information, we will work with you and your primary care physician to develop and implement your wound care program. The program will be based on the Registered Nurses’ Association’s Best Practice Guidelines. We will keep your doctor updated on your progress. It is important that you continue to see your physician for routine medical care.
