Laser Treatment for Mitochondrial Encephalopathy (MELAS)

MELAS (Mitochondrial Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes) syndrome is a rare disorder that begins in childhood, usually between two and fifteen years of age, and mostly affects the nervous system and muscles.

MELAS is caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Mutations affecting the genes for mtDNA are inherited from the mother.

Early symptoms may include muscle weakness and pain, recurrent headaches, loss of appetite, vomiting, and seizures.

Being a disease that severely damages muscles and nerve cells, Laser therapy has been continuously upgraded to address these two specific issues.

Laser Therapy has been successfully used to treat a broad range of medical conditions, including musculoskeletal and neuromuscular problems

The Smart Medical 26.2Watt Diode Laser SIFLASER-3.2 per specific has been designed to provide a professional treatment for these two problems.

The central goal of the laser device  is to stimulate the cell to perform its natural functions either at the level of nerves or muscles, but at an enhanced rate.

Targeted in hemoglobin and cytochrome c oxidase, the high power diode laser could help the respiration and then in result have a good performance therapy.

In sharp contrast to “Cold lasers” which provide no feeling or sensation, high power diode laser therapy will provide a warm and smoothing feeling which will definitely relax the patient’s nerves and ultimately result in his muscles’ relief.

Clear enough, then, that the Laser therapy exclusively provided by this device  stimulates muscle trigger points and acupuncture points on a non-invasive basis providing musculoskeletal pain relief.

All this, in turn, should mean that the SIFLASER-3.2 is the best ultimate choice for MELAS patients who are seeking a professional, well-functioning laser device worth spending their money on.
