Low Level/Cold Laser Therapy causing changes to Arterial Oxygen Saturation

Oxygenation of tissues is vital in the energy supply, metabolism and life of an organism. Controlling this mechanism is essential in the tissues development and sustaining tissue function to perform the necessary tasks to keep the body operating.

Factors influencing oxygenation include:

-Increased Metabolic rate: Increased workload requires an increased demand for oxygen in tissues

-Toxic inhalation: Inhalation of toxic gases reduces the amount of oxygen attached to haemoglobin, meaning we require more oxygen at this time

-Decreased inhalation of oxygen: If airs covered by pollutants, the body’s need for fresh oxygen in the atmosphere increases simultaneously

-Anaemia: Decreased production of haemoglobin meaning that more oxygen is required at that particular time

Treatment for low oxygen levels in tissues generally requires oxygen supplements, however low level/cold laser therapy has been found to show great results similar to that of oxygen supplements. Low level laser therapy is a relatively new alternative treatment that is vastly used in health professions. Cold laser therapy has been found to have a positive impact on tissues as it is highly used to reduce inflammation by repairing the damaged tissue. Regeneration of the tissue is initiated by increasing the circulation of oxygen in the blood giving the tissue the best chance it can. Low level laser therapy/cold laser therapy also enhances metabolic activity meaning that it’s able to provide a more effective immune response due to the laser increasing enzyme activity, providing the blood cells with a more sufficient amount of oxygen.

Protocol: The arterial oxygenation protocol generally involves 12 sessions about 3 times per week to gain the most effect. Sessions generally take 10-20 minutes with the laser focusing on a certain spot for 2 minutes at a time.

I was first introduced to the world of Chiropractic in my teenage years, when I was given the opportunity to observe my cousin who is a chiropractor. During my brief time in observation, I witnessed the wonder of chiropractic and it was truly a miracle to me, seeing how it can change a person’s life. An old lady came in limping with chronic pain, after the treatment, she walked out perfectly fine with a big smile on her face. She held onto my hand to say thank you to me, even though I was just standing there doing nothing. It filled with me with such joy and fulfillment that in that instance, I made up my mind to become a chiropractor, no matter what it took. I graduated from Murdoch University with Distinction honours in 2016. During these 5 years at University, I participated in a 2 week placement in Northern India, called “Hands on India”, helping to raise over $80,000 to assist the communities living in poverty there, in return, I gained a wealth of knowledge and I was humbled by the amazing people there. In my role at Lakeside Chiropractic, I endeavor to provide excellent Chiropractic care and health advice to our community. I keep myself current with the best available research and professional development opportunities. I absolutely love being a Chiropractor and find that one of the most rewarding parts is being able to assist my patients in expressing their optimal health. My special interests are cervicogenic migraine, TMJ and sciatic pain. I especially love helping our moms-to-be achieve their best shape along the journey, this lead me to recently attended seminars for women’s fertility and pregnancy care essentials. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy my routine of going to yoga and pilates 3 times a week, as well as being a couch potato in front of TV with family. Born and raised in Malaysia, I am also fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin.
