Erchonia Therapeutic Laser
How does it work?
Erchonia therapeutic laser are made in the USA in an ISO certified facility. To learn more go to the erchonia website.

A laser is basically a focused beam of light that emits photon energy. when the light is focused properly, all 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. Lasers are used to read CD files and we get music. They are used to measure distances, temperature, and speed. As documented in James L. Oschman's book Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis, cells communicate to one another through coherent light. |
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. This was proven through two double-blind studies to prove the efficacy of the Erchonia laser on chronic pain. 
Low-level lasers are different from heat lasers used in surgical procedures to cut or 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 used for over 25 years and have not been shown to display any side effects. 
Erchonia lasers emit visible coherent light that is applied to the affected area. Bundles of light energy pas through the dermal layers, and are received within the cell membrane by specific energy photo acceptors. The increase on 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, and increased range of motion.
Oleson chiropractic uses the therapeutic laser in a comprehensive health program to achieve results, when deemed necessary, according to symptoms of the patient.
