Laser

What does LASER stand for?
LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission by Radiation.

Have low level lasers been scientifically studied and proven?
Low-level lasers have been used worldwide for nearly 30 years. Over 2000 studies have shown that low level lasers:

1. Reduce pain by stimulating cells to produce their own endorphins, a natural pain killer
2. Promote faster healing by stimulating cells to increase the production of two major healing enzymes by as much as 75%
3. Reduce inflammation by as much as 75%
4. Increase bone repair speed by stimulating fibroblastic and osteoblastic proliferation
5. Relax muscles and muscle spasms
6. Decrease swelling by stimulating lymphatic drainage
7. Enhance immune system by increasing the number of "killer" cells by 400- 900%
8. Re-energize cell membranes to allow transport of essential nutrients across cell walls (nutrients will not cross an injured or sick cell wall, thus slowing healing) allowing a healthy new cell to grow.

How does laser light differ from "normal" light?
Light emitted from a laser diode is monochromatic (having only one wavelength), parallel and coherent (having waves with similar direction, amplitude, and phase). These qualities make laser light much more valuable for therapeutic benefits.

How do low level lasers work?
Pain results from trauma and/or cellular disruption, malfunction, or less than optimal cellular function. Healing and pain relief come with cellular normalization. Photons enable cells to perform optimally by stimulating them to initiate bio-chemical reactions, which produce enzymes and A TP (usable energy).

Where can low-level laser therapy be used?
Low-level laser therapy may be used any place there is acute or chronic pain or inflammation, and, low-level laser therapy may be effective on any disease or disorder. Users have reported successes when using low level laser therapy on: Arthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tennis Elbow, Whiplash, Headaches, Back and Shoulder Pain, TMDITMJ, Burns, Cuts, Sprains, Colds and Cold Sores, Sinusitis, and even Age Spots!
