THE ERCHONIA LASER: WORLD LEADER IN LOW LEVEL LASER
TECHNOLOGY
ERCHONIA is the first low-level laser in the world
to gain FDA clearance for the treatment of chronic neck and shoulder pain. The letters in the word Laser stand for: Light
Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
HOW DOES THE ERCHONIA LASER WORK TO HELP TREAT PAIN? The answers are simpler
that you think!
BEAMS OF LIGHT:We use Lasers
to listen to our favorite music CD's to measure distances, temperature, and speed. Even though Einstein was the first to talk
about the idea of beams of light, our bodies have been using that same kind of energy to communicate since man was created.
As documented in James L. Oschman's book "Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis", cells communicate with each other
through coherent light.
LASER FOCUS:
When learning about Laser technology, there
are some basic concepts that should be understood. A laser is basically a focused beam of light that emits photon energy.
When the light is focused properly, all of the photons are traveling in the same direction and at the same wavelength; this
is also known as coherent light. When light is not focused, it scatters in all directions and becomes diffused. This is called
non-coherent light.
LOW LEVEL LASERS:
Low-level lasers are different than more publicized heat lasers that are
used in many surgical procedures to cut, and cauterize tissue. Low level lasers do not have a thermal effect and are
used to stimulate, rather than destroy tissue. These types of lasers have been in use for over 25 years and there has
yet to be one recorded side effect. Low level laser studies have been done and have been proven to be effective in may
cases, but it was the ERCONIA laser that 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. This was proven through two double-blind studies to prove
the efficacy of the ERCHONIA laser on chronic pain.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
ERCHONIA Lasers emit visible
coherent light that is applied to affected area. Bundles of light energy pass through the dermal layers, and are received
within the cell membrane by specific energy photo acceptors. 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 overall effects are decreased pain and inflammation, increased range of motion, and increase in strength.
PROTOCOLS:To date there are over 200 different health conditons that
can be treated with the Erchonia Cold Laser. Each condition has its own Laser frequencies that have been proven to be effective
over the years. With 8 beams of light available to treat your condition, there is a good chance that it can help you too!
