Cold Laser Therapy!

What is cold laser therapy?
When I speak of cold laser therapy, first let me say that I only use Erchonia cold lasers. Erchonia were the first to obtain FDA market clearance and they are world leaders in low level/cold laser research and development.
Low level and cold laser are the same.
History lesson: German physicist, Fritz Albert Popp was the first to identify the the biophoton radiation that radiates form the human body at 635nm. Erchonia cold lasers (with the exception of the Dermalaser which we will discuss later) all work at 635nm. This frequency is not capable of doing any harm to cells. It has a stimulative effect on tissue.
The difference between cold laser and surgery lasers is that the "hot" lasers have large, high energy waves that create catabolic effects which destroy tissue in cauterizing and surgical applications. Cold lasers have low power, small waves that have anabolic effects which produce rapid reduction of pain, accelerate healing time and promote growth and repair.
In the 1970's, Dr. Sheldon Deal proved that cold laser application could stimulate the acupuncnture points with the same results as acupuncture needles and better than magnets and acupressure. Throughout the 1970's and 1980's other scientists and doctors proved the cold laser 635nm to modulate the mitochondria and increase its energy if too low or dissipate if too high, to have an anti-inflammatory effect, reduce pain, enhance ATP and protein synthesis, create collagen improvement in wound healing, accelerate the rate of granulation and epithelialization in burns, increase strength and range of motion in muscles and balance the parasympathetic nervous system just to name a few.
There have been absolutely no negative side effects ever reported from the use of Erchonia 635nm lasers. There have been countless documentations of laser healing far exceeding conventional therapies.
Many, many professional athletes use the Erchonia cold laser. More and more musicians are using it these days too. It can help with vocals, hearing, arm/wrist/finger issues from repetitive use playing instruments for years. Why isn't this big news? It's the best kept secret in the world of sports and entertainment and those in the know have quite an advantage!
What if you aren't a professional athlete or rock star? What can the laser do for us mere mortals? The possibilities are limitless! It stimulates your cells at the DNA level, it can do no harm, it only heals. It can help you with any pain from broken bones to a headache. Since the laser can stimulate acupuncture points then it can be used in all applications of Traditional Chinese Medicine in place of needles. It's an amazing magic wand! :)
