Unlike the “hot” lasers used in surgery, which burn and cut, a cold laser (also known as low level energy laser) uses a lower wavelength and heals rather than destroys tissue. Three different cold lasers were researched under FDA auspices at Balanced Healing Medical Center since 1984, on over 5,000 patients.
There has been over three decades of research on cold lasers, documenting numerous beneficial actions on tissue, blood vessels and lymphatics, resulting in reduction of acute and chronic inflammation, pain reduction and enhanced tissue healing and regeneration. As a result, cold lasers have been successfully used in a variety of clinical conditions, as noted in the following list:
- Arthritis of any joint
- Plantar fasciitis
- Spine arthritis
- Trigger points
- Frozen shoulder
- Ganglion Cysts
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica
- Bulging or herniated discs
- Bone spurs
- TMJ
- Osgood-Schlatters Disease
- Dupytren's contractures
- Scars
- Wound healing
- Allergic rhinitis
- Mucositis
- Lymphedema
- Tendonitis
- Bursitis
- Compressive neuropathies (carpal, cubital, radial, tarsal tunnel)
Because the cold laser penetrates deeply into tissue without causing tissue damage or affecting normal tissue, it has been declared a safe device by the FDA. The primary side effect is that some people get sore the next day. Usually you should obtain initial benefits within four to eight treatments but it may take more to obtain maximum results. Because the cold laser addresses the underlying cause of the condition, its benefits can be very long lasting.
You should realize that there are many types of cold lasers on the market and each device varies in terms of wavelength, dosage (power), duration of treatment, as well as where it is applied and the techniques used. Depending on the type, they may work on some people but not others, may work for some conditions but not others, and may not work on everyone.
Scientific studies and the research experience at Balanced Healing Medical Center have demonstrated that the best wavelength for effectiveness and penetration is 830 nm, which is the one recommended on this website. This laser can be purchased by and used by any consumer.
