Introduction: Cold laser therapy is a relatively new technology compared to many alternative therapies like acupuncture (which has been used since 8000-3500 B.C.), chiropractic (since 1895) and physical therapy. Just like the abacus evolved into the computer, many alternative medicine practices are evolving to include laser therapy. Recent innovations in low-level lasers now make it possible for practitioners or consumers to own high quality cold laser equipment. The first cold laser was FDA cleared in 2001. Cold lasers are sometimes called Low Level Lasers (LLL) or soft lasers.
In general, cold lasers can be used in 2 distinct ways:
Targeting acupuncture trigger points (similar to acupuncture but without the needles)
Broad coverage of tissue and bone with IR or Red light photons to reduce pain and stimulate healing
Cold Laser therapy offers a non-intrusive option to acupuncture and surgery. It also provides a non-addicting treatment that eliminates the complications of long-term drug treatment programs. Cold lasers are FDA cleared and widely use 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
Dr. Mitch has helped hundreds of patients recover from difficult problems with his Cold Laser Program™. Most of his former patients needlessly suffered from moderate to severe chronic pain for years that prevented them from performing normal daily activities. Many patients sought treatment because they had difficulty walking, standing, climbing stairs or even sleeping comfortably at night. Each of these prior patients sought a safe, painless conservative treatment to relieve the pain; and most importantly improve their quality of life without having to undergo expensive and invasive surgery.
