Low Level Laser Therapy, also known clinically as Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM), is a safe and potentially effective therapy to increase healing of traumatic brain injury. Key Infrared and Near Infrared wavelengths are applied at low power to penetrate the skull and directly aid damaged neurological tissue. Cognitive function and neuropathic pain can be addressed with Laser Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury.

The brain may suffer from three types of disorder, all of which can be beneficially affected by applying specific light wavelengths in the Infrared and Near Infrared range:

1. Stroke, traumatic brain injury and global ischemia.
2. Degenerative disease such as Dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease.
3. Psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

The primary mechanism of Therapeutic Laser, also known medically as Photobiomodulation Therapy, promotes energy absorption within the mitochondria, reduces inflammation and increases oxygenated blood flow. Laser Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can be a a valuable recovery option to resolve the symptoms associated with reduced blood flow to the brain.

How does Laser Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) work?

If the brain is deprived of oxygen it suffers from synaptic dysfunction and degeneration / loss of neutrons, leading to grey and white matter atrophy, and cognitive dysfunction. Laser Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury increases levels of nitric oxide, and therefore, blood flow to the brain, which improves the flexibility of the membrane that lines the inside of blood vessels. This opens up blood vessels so that more oxygen can reach the white matter deep inside the brain. A biological change of events increases the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) by up to 150%, which speeds up the healing process and helps to restore cognitive function. Laser Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury also helps to address inflammation which also helps to restore reduced cerebral blood flow and hypo metabolism.

Our approach to Therapeutic Laser for Traumatic Brain Injury

We often see people with chronic conditions resulting from TBI, as Photobiomodulation Therapy is rarely offered by traditional medical practitioners in the early stages of the brain injury. Patients report improvements in headaches, brain fog and cognitive impairments, including speech, after a course of treatments.

During the therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury we apply low power laser (class 3b and class 4 therapeutic laser) over the skull. Our laser protocols also cover the lymphatics and gut to support systemic blood flow and an uplift in mitochondrial function to aid with healing. The procedure is non-invasive, painless and aims to leave the patient feeling relaxed, with an improved sense of wellbeing.

Recommended Treatment Plan

Treatments are carried out weekly for the first 6 weeks, and then every 2-3 weeks depending on the health of the individual.
