The paper presents a characteristics of the new therapeutic method of laser radiation biostimulation. It presents modern views on the mechanism of action of laser biostimulation, it reports the biological effects of the stimulation as well as the areas of clinical use.
One hundred medical certificates issued by the Local Military Medical Commission and which served as a basis for discharging the military from the Polish Army were used for the analysis of discopathy and spondylosis observed in this group of population. The age of subjects, length of military service and service conditions were taken into consideration. It was revealed that over 30% of active military men had been discharged from the army due to discopathy and spondylosis. The largest group of the military suffering from these diseases (about 60%) was found in troops of the line.
Blood flow pattern (maximum moment velocity, mean velocity, artery diameter and minute flow) in the superficial femoral artery and in the foot artery was evaluated in 30 patients, subjected to laser biostimulation for symptoms of atherosclerotic ischemia of the lower limbs. The blood flow examination was performed before the treatment and immediately afterwards (20 procedures) and 6 months following the therapy. It was found that laser biostimulation had a favorable effect on the blood flow pattern, particularly in the initial stage of ischemia (Io), and may be a useful method of medical treatment in atherosclerotic ischemia of the lower limbs.
