Omega equipment is used on a truly worldwide basis, facilitated by our international network of distribution agents, and our latest products have had USA FDA clearance, are fully licensed for Canada and have all relevant European certification for medical use. Although we work hard to maintain the highest quality of equipment manufacturing, it is probably our level of after-sales customer support which sets us apart in the field, and of which we are most proud. We believe it’s key to ensure that a laser system fits the clinician’s needs to enable them to employ it effectively, so we advise on appropriate tailored systems, train one-to-one with each direct purchase and support new customers as they build confidence in using the equipment. Our sales and technical staff look forward to dealing with any enquiry relating to low level laser therapy.
Low Level Laser Therapy In brief, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) primarily stimulates the body’s cellular response to damage. In soft tissue injuries, for example, LLLT rapidly increases the proliferation of growth factor cells (i.e. macrophages, fibroblasts and mast cells in particular) and is therefore widely used to accelerate tissue repair and mobilise chronic conditions. With appropriate protocols it can also effectively block pain message signals through nociceptor suppression, stimulate acupuncture and trigger points and increase endorphin release. There is a large body of research to be found on the clinical effects of low level laser. Our website at www.omegalaser.co.uk lists a selection of key research papers and there are a number of publications giving excellent overviews of research and treatment – call us for recommendations on books to consider.
