Pulsed Laser Activated Blood Plasma Therapy

Greetings!

   Thanks for stopping by! We are a pain and orthopedic clinic located in Clayton, GA. In addition to traditional care we utilize non-invasive methods of healing, of which our laser activated plasma is one. Included here is a scientific explanation of the technology. Please see Mountain Medical Specialties for more information about the clinic and Dr. Flick's work.

Introduction

   Pulsed Laser Activated Blood Plasma Therapy (PLABP) combines two therapeutic technologies: Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Pulsed Low-Level Laser (LLLT) Fields.

Background

   Pulsed Laser Activated Plasma Therapy is a medical treatment that uses a patient's own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. Blood is drawn from the patient and the blood is separated from the serum plasma by centrifugation and then vortexed and radiated with UV radiation followed by low level IR laser radiation. The activation of the plasma is believed to release growth factors, promoting healing by stimulating cellular proliferation, matrix formation, osteoid production, collagen synthesis, and angiogenesis. Several investigators have reported the activation of Very Small Embryonic Like (VSEL) stem cells.

Office Protocol

   The PLABP protocol activates 30 cc of blood plasma that can be reinfused via the IV used to harvest the blood and injected into target areas, such as joints, tendons, open wounds, scar tissue and skin to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and encourage tissue repair.

Home Therapy

   The frequency specific Low Level Lasers, similar to the Low Level Lasers used in the activation process, are provided to patient to apply to target areas at home. By use of the low level lasers at home the patient will continue to experience the potential benefit.
