Erchonia® Low Level Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy is FDA cleared for chronic neck and shoulder pain. This effective modality has been proven in clinical trials to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and promote natural healing.
How does Laser Therapy Work?
Erchonia cold laser application causes a chemical reaction initiated by the absorption of light energy. The light passes through to tissue without heating or harming the skin. Cold laser interacts with the body’s cells, stimulating the mitochondria and encouraging the cells to produce energy. This increased energy enhances the healing process by reducing oxidative stress, improving cell metabolism, accelerating tissue regeneration, increasing circulation, removing toxins, decreasing inflammation, and reducing pain.
EVRL Violet & Red Laser
The Erchonia EVRL utilizes the power of both red and violet low level laser energy to treat a broader range of conditions. The different wavelengths of light stimulate different types of biological responses. The red laser provides properties for healing and pain reduction. The violet laser targets dermatological conditions, and stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, which helps the body eliminate bacteria and other infections. When both red and violet wavelengths are activated simultaneously research has shown a significant decrease in pain and increased range of motion.
The clinical study conducted for the FDA showed all enrolled patients experienced a significant reduction in pain following treatment, with the average pain reduction being 50%.
Is Low Level Cold Laser Therapy Safe?
Low level cold laser therapy is very safe. More than 2500 studies have been conducted in the last 50 years showing the safety and effectiveness of low level cold laser therapy for pain relief. This therapy is commonly used to treat acute and chronic pain conditions without any negative side effects. The only general precaution would be to avoid open eye contact. After a session there is no pain, downtime, or adverse side effects.
