Cold Laser
LOW LEVEL LASERS: Low-level lasers are different than more publicized heat lasers that are used in many surgical procedures to cut, and cauterize tissue. Low level lasers do not have a thermal effect and are used to stimulate, rather than destroy tissue. These types of lasers have been in use for over 25 years and there has yet to be one recorded side effect. Low level laser studies have been done and have been proven to be effective in may cases.
PROTOCOLS:
To date there are over 200 different health conditons that can be treated with the Cold Laser. Each condition has its own Laser frequencies and treatment locations that have been researched and proven to be effective.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Lasers emit visible coherent light that is applied to affected area. Bundles of light energy pass through the dermal layers, and are received within the cell membrane by specific energy photo acceptors. The increase in intra-cellular energy results in altered cell membrane permeability, and physiological changes occur through an enzyme cascade to affect several biological processes. Within the injured musculoskeletal tissue, low-level laser light initiates increased microcirculation and enhances tissue regeneration. The overall effects are decreased pain and inflammation, and increased range of motion.
The letters in the word Laser stand for:
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
