Low-level laser therapy, also known as cold laser therapy, is at the cutting edge of technology and health care. Lasers are presicion instruments and in the medical field are referred to as "hot" or burning lasers. Low-level lasers operate at the same level of precision but are not capable of burning, cauterizing, or cutting since they do not generate heat. This category of laser is a proven and effective tool for reducing pain, stopping the inflammatory process and actually heal the body.

Low-level lasers function on two main principles which are to increase cellular regeneration and increase cellular communication. Your cells need enough energy to heal, and not just maintain the state that they are currently in. Over the last 30+ years, reasearch has shown time and time again that low-level (or cold) laser increases the energy available in the cell that is needed to perform all of its functions. These functions also include maintaining health and well-being or to either regenerate or heal after an injury.

A huge factor for your body to operate normally is that your cells need to be able to communicate with each other in a proper manner. A severe cellular injury may cause the cells to lose the ability to communcate properly. Low-level laser therapy helps to restore this extremely important and vital cellular communication, often times very rapidly.

The different types of issues that can be helped by laser therapy include but are NOT limited to:

•      • Pain - Somatic, Visceral, & Neuropathic Pains
•      • Function - Decreased Range of Motion, Frozen Shoulder, Mucle Weakness, Balance Issues, etc.
•      • Infection - MRSA & VRSA Infections Not Responding to Drug Therapy
•      • Neurological Problems - Neuropathy, ADHD, etc.
•      • Degenerative Conditions - Arthritis
•      • Post-Operative Healing - Speed Up Recovery & Minimize Scar Tissue

When you provide the cells of the body with more energy and restore communication (cell-to-cell and brain-tissue interface) the body will be able to heal much more completely and more quickly. If you haven't tried low-level laser therapy in the past you really should consider it, especially using our prescription-based system. This way you will be able to get more treatments that will improve communication and provide your body with the energy it needs to heal and at the same time re-train your body to function like it was designed to.

This is a good place to let you in on a little secret of low-level (or cold) laser therapy that some chiropractors and physical therapists who already use laser therapy in their practices don't use. Activity! I'm not saying that the therapy doesn't help if you just shine the light on the problem area - it will. However, if you want to squeeze the most benefit out of each laser treatment you need to attempt to perform activity with the treatment. Some problems are not as physical so this can seem impossible, but it isn't. Brain or mental activity also counts as a type of activity in my book. So, if I were to treat someone who is having trouble forming words because they had a stroke, I would have them say, or attempt to say, some words during each treatment. This helps to stimulate the tissues you are trying to treat while applying the therapy and it just works better.

In the other case of a physical problem, for example, actually using the joint is key. With a frozen shoulder case, for example, the patient should move their shoulder joint by abducting the arm or reaching behind the body as the therapy is being applied. All movements will help, but trying to focus on the movements that are more difficult to do will bring about the best results. If you've recieved low-level laser therapy treatments in the past and the provider did not have you do some form of activity with the therapy they really should have. The best eplanation for why they wouldn't is that they didn't know. Every provider that acquires the Script Lasers, Inc. devices will know this information and it will also be included in the online patient therapy videos and handouts so that you will be able to achieve the best low-level laser therapy results possible.

Research

There are over 3,000 worldwide clinical studies that have proven and continue to prove that low-level laser therapy, also known as cold or soft laser therapy, is effective for the following conditions:
