Low Level Laser Therapy is a technological marvel in both the alternative and
mainstream health professions. We utilize hand-held, low level laser equipment
produced by Erchonia, FDA approved for therapeutic use.
What
is a Laser? LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification
by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser is basically
a focused beam of light. When this light is focused properly, all the photons
are traveling in the same direction and at the same wavelength; this is known
as coherent light.
As documented throughout his book, "Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis",
by James L. Oschman, cells communicate to one another with coherent (laser)
light. According to a 1987 American Chiropractic article, Russian researchers
determined that DNA replication emits light at approximately 630 NM. Our Healing
Light Low Level Laser runs at a wavelength of 635 NM.
Example of biological effects that occur in this range are:
- DNA replication is optimized
- Regeneration of damaged nerve tissue
- Cellular bio-modulation occurs
- Oxygenation and phagocytosis activity are optimized
Studies show that just by using the low level lasers alone, pain was significantly
reduced and range of motion were increased in patients with chronic neck and
shoulder pain. We also have found that myofacial release and muscle lengthening
can be assisted by exposure to low level laser light.
