Now there is a new treatment that has been proven safe and effective by the FDA. Low level lasers from Erchonia offer a new clinically proven treatment option that is safe, effective and cleared by the FDA for the treatment of:

  • Chronic Neck Pain
  • Chronic Back Pain
  • Post-Operative Pain
  • Shoulder Pain
  • Heel Pain Related To Plantar Fasciitis

Housed within the mitochondria, the cell energy manufacturer, are receptors capable of absorbing distinct parameters of light.  Think of these receptors like any drug receptors.  When we consume a prescription medication, the compound is absorbed by the body and its locates a particular receptor; based upon its molecular design, will bind to that  receptor.  Once the drug binds, a secondary reaction inside the cell takes place.  A similar mechanism is observed when exposing the body to a particular color of light.  During laser treatment, the light will penetrate the skin and is absorbed by this receptor within the mitochondria.  Receptor stimulation with light promotes energy production,  biochemical reactions, protein and growth factor synthesis, cell growth and proliferation and enhanced blood and oxygen flow.  NOTHING HEALS FASTER

Cold laser therapy, also known as low level laser therapy, is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and is known to accelerate the healing process of a variety of clinical conditions. By definition, this type of therapy uses radiation intensities that induce minimal temperature elevation (not more than 0.1 to 0.5 degrees celsius), if any. Low­-energy lasers have been promoted as an effective way to produce pain relief.

Cold laser therapy is widely used for treatment of:

  • Acute and chronic pain
  • Ligament sprains
  • Muscle strain
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Tendonitis
  • Arthritis
  • Tennis elbow
  • Back pain
  • Bursitis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Wound healing
  • Plantar fasciitis 

Cold lasers are handheld devices used by the doctor and are typically the size of a flashlight. The laser is placed directly over the injured area for 30 seconds to several minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the dose provided by the cold laser unit.
