Erchonia PL5000
We utilize the Erchonia Cold Laser, which is the first FDA approved laser for pain relief and increasing range of motion in joints. Through the action of photo-stimulation of light reactive biological receptors (chromophores) in the body, Cold Laser Therapy has consistently demonstrated the ability to significantly accelerate and enhance the body’s natural defense and repair components in the presence of injury, inflammation and certain disease processes. Cold Laser Therapy provides pain relief, reduces injury damage and loss of function, and also facilitates more rapid repair with stronger healed tissue structures. This therapy is a complete system of treating muscle, tendon, ligament, connective tissue, bone, nerve, and dermal tissues in a non-invasive, drug-free modality.
FAQ - Cold Laser Therapy
Q. How does Low-Level Laser work?
A. Photonic stimuli excite the body’s cells infusing them with energy, with the three primary reactions being, reduction of inflammation, cell regeneration and increased blood flow.
Q. What are the benefits of low-laser therapy?
A. Low Level Laser Therapy is a noninvasive, fast and effective modality that has been proven in clinical trials to reduce pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Q. How safe is Low-Level Laser Therapy?
A. Low Level Laser Therapy is very safe, the only general precaution is the use of special filtering glasses when a class 3B laser is in use.
Q. How deep into the tissue can laser light penetrate?
A. The depth of penetration is dependent on multiple factors including mass and density, however since low-level laser has been proven in clinical studies to effect subcutaneous cells; the point is low-level laser, does penetrate; as opposed to the heat lamp devices that do not.
Applications
Q. Is Low-Level Laser Therapy painful?
A. No, most people do not feel anything. For those that have reported a feeling, it is nothing more than a slight tingling.
Q. Who uses the Low-Level Lasers?
A. Erchonia has a broad client base with representative from every practice in the healthcare industry, including: Cosmetic Surgeons, Chiropractors, Plastic Surgeons, Physical Therapists, Registered Nurses, Medical Doctors, Podiatrists, and Veterinarians.
Q. How is Low-Level Laser Therapy administered?
A. The mechanics of how low-level laser therapy is administered is based on the indication for use; however, the general process is the probe containing the laser diode(s) are held in place or moved gently over the treatment area at a distance of anywhere from 4” – 12.”
Q. How long does it take for the laser to heal or improve a condition?
A. This is dependent of the application; however, progress is immediately evident.
Q. What’s the difference between Lasers vs. LED?
A. Erchonia 3LT® devices used electric diodes, which are high end, culminated and strictly measured within a plus/minus .05%. LEDs are inexpensive, non-focused wide range light sources. The primary difference is in performance and depth of penetration. Laser diodes penetrate, working subcutaneously, LEDs do not affecting surface only.
