The perfect blend of chiropractic and laser therapy produces phenomenal results in extremely short periods of time. Importantly, there are no known side effects from laser therapy after having been in use for over 25 years.
Lasers, while not widely known in the US, have been researched in European countries for several years. The Erchonia laser made history by becoming the first low-level laser in the world to gain FDA market clearance for the treatment of chronic neck and shoulder pain. Two double-blind studies proved the efficacy of the Erchonia laser on chronic pain.
The number of treatments required depends on the nature and duration of the problem. We have seen total resolution of some problems with as little as a single treatment. Chronic and/or deep-seated conditions may take as many as 10 treatments or perhaps more with extreme cases.
Erchonia lasers emit visible coherent light that is applied to the affected area. Bundles of light energy pass through the dermal layers and are received within the cell membrane by specific energy photos receptors. The increase in intra-cellular energy results in altered cell membrane permeability, and physiological changes occur through an enzyme cascade to affect several biological processes. Within the injured musculoskeletal tissue, low-level laser light initiates increased microcirculation and enhanced tissue regeneration.
The pain reflex is broken, offering immediate relief of pain. In other words, "it brings in the good stuff and gets rid of the bad stuff". The overall effects are decreased pain and inflammation, and increased range of motion.
