very effective at calming nerve pain and relieving chronic muscle

other conditions, such as TMJ and headaches. We can combine
LLLT with additional treatments such
as Chiropractic adjustments, specialized exercise programs, massage,
traction and nutritional supplements.
What is Cold Laser Therapy?
The laser is currently the most advanced of source light. The word LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Cold Lasers for treatment has been well tested in Russia, Switzerland, Hungary and Japan. Only recently, 2002, the FDA approved the use of cold laser in the United States. For this reason, very few hospitals or clinics are even aware of the amazing benifits of laser treatments. The FDA considers the laser to have no significant risk (with the exception of vision loss, if you stare into the laser light, of course).
The laser appears to have significant benefit in the treatment/management of many conditions. This includes: Carpal tunnel syndrome (officially approved by the FDA), trigger points, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, bursitis, meniere's disease, tinnitus, vertigo, wound healing, sciaticia, scars, migraines, herpetic neuralgia, TMJ, rheumatoid arthritis, and even balding. It is clear that this list could be much longer and will continue to grow with experience.
Many people (including many doctors) think that Cold Laser could not be very effective since they haven't heard much about it. This is a shame because many people could be helped with this amazing treatment option.
