DELIVERY AND DOSAGE
A drug-free, surgery-free, non-invasive pain treatment alternative
PBMT offers versatile treatment applications for the shoulder 23,24 , neck 25 , and back 26 , making it an appropriate tool in the multimodal toolbox for the treatment of shoulder pain and these common referring sites.
PBM dosing - the key to results
Dosimetry in photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy is highly complicated - no single “dose” will work for all possible PBM therapies, and in some cases, different dosimetries can be equally effective. Safe and effective PBM dosimetry must consider multiple treatment parameters including: wavelength, irradiance (often called power density or brightness), and irradiation time. 22 Furthermore, it is important to recognize that PBM is challenged by energy loss that occurs as light enters the skin and travels from superficial to deeper tissues. At the skin’s surface this is primarily due to reflection and below the surface by absorption from different tissues competing for different wavelengths of light. Proper configuration of the laser is a key factor in getting sufficient energy to target tissues.
The massage ball treatment applicator can help maximize clinical results for deep muscle conditions such as those present in the shoulder and back with the benefits of LightForce’s patented, on-contact PBMT treatment application.
