1Wound HealingIntroductionResearch indicates that phototherapy can accelerate woundand tissue repair by as much as 30% - 40%. Best results areacheived when phototherapy is an adjuct to an evidencebasedWound Care Program. <strong>Phototherapy</strong> can be usedin conjunction with all types of dressings and types of woundregardless of stage.The Mechanism of Action diagram (Introduction pg. 3) outlinesthe physiological activities that are stimulated by phototherapy.The cumulative effect of the multiple inter-active processes andevents is an accelerated inflammatory cycle with diminishedsymptoms and earlier normalization.VER. 1.3 © RICH-MAR 2009Since phototherapy does not exacerbate the inflammatory processbut rather condenses the time frame from onset to resolution throughacceleration of processes, it can be used immediately post injury.Rapid initiation of therapy in acute inflammation assists in limitingthe scope and duration of the inflammatory event and minimizesthe pain and severity associated with it.Most of the beneficial phototherapy effects seen in acute inflammatoryevents are also initiated in more chronic inflammatory conditions,such as chronic wounds.The light energy accelerates and enhances healing activities carriedout by the body. Several of the unique characteristics of phototherapythat work to alleviate pain and inflammation also play an important rolein accelerating the healing process.<strong>Phototherapy</strong> positively impacts the wound healing progress throughthe stages of inflammation, proliferation, remodeling and maturation,in open surface wounds as well as closed connective or soft tissueinjuries.
