Is Laser More Effective than Ultrasound?
A Study in the Journal of Hand Therapy, Jan-March 2008, assessed the benefits of three therapies, ultrasound, laser, and bracing on tennis elbow. All three therapy groups received stretching and strengthening exercises plus one of the three treatments. In this study, laser therapy was the only treatment that increased grip strength. Because laser therapy has been continually proven to increase the production of collagen and fibrin, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration, this type of result is consistent with prior studies.

Again, Laser More Effective than Ultrasound!
Another study published February 2008, in Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, clearly demonstrated that laser was more effective than ultrasound, in vitro, at increasing production of fibroblasts. Because fibroblasts are the most common cells in connective tissue and are vital for wound healing, these are important explanations for the superiority of laser over ultrasound in the area of tissue regeneration. Can Laser Therapy Speed the Healing of Burns?
A recent 2008 study from Photomedicine and Laser Surgery found that burns on rats had a higher concentration of mast cells than the control group. Mast cells, rich in heparin and histamine, are vital to wound healing and pathogen prevention. Positive results have been noted in other burn studies. We will be excited to see if similar results are found in human subjects.
