Cold Laser

What is Cold Laser and how does it help my condition?
Cold laser, or low level laser, is one of the newest and most promising physical therapy modalities on the market today. The cold laser delivers 7 different wavelengths from 470 - 940 simultaneously, while the enhancers deliver a 660 nanometer wavelength and 808 nanometer, respectively. This frequency is matched to the frequency of light emitted when cell regeneration occurs in our body. Introducing laser frequency into the specific malfunctioning tissue results in an increase in mitochondrial production and cell regeneration.  This modality is used on professional athletes; in fact, Lance Armstrong's chiropractor Dr. Jeff Spencer used the cold laser therapy on his body during the Tour de France in each of Lance's victories.  

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.

Are cold lasers safe?
Industry has been using laser diodes for years in such applications as bar code check outs, CD players, laser printers and pointers. The FDA has listed bio-stimulation lasers as non-significant risk (NSR) devices.  

Have cold lasers been scientifically studied and proven?
Low level lasers have been used world-wide 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 THE IMMUNE SYSTEM by increasing the number of "killer" cells by 400-900%, and most importantly, (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.I hope this helps to answer your questions, but if it isn't here, please let me know so I can provide you with the clarity you seek. Thank you.
