Popular Chiropractor In NYC Introduces And Explains The Benefits Regarding Cold Laser Therapy

By Dr. Louis Granirer


The first time I watched star wars, I was 6 years old. I remember my good friend going on and on about Darth Vader and C3PO. He was captivated by these characters. I, on the other hand, was fascinated by the light saber. I figured it was the coolest stuff that I had ever cast my young eyes on. The light saber was a laser sword that may cut through almost any substance, and could only be averted by another light saber.

It was subsequently the first laser of any kind that I can recall, and I fought many mock light saber duels with other star wars jedi aspirants. I thought a laser of any kind was a dangerous and powerful weapon and not until years later, while visiting the dentist, did I realize it's healing capabilities.

Low Laser Light therapy or cold laser therapy is a treatment method that I have been investigating and interested in for several years. A lot of my co-workers have reported great outcomes with these equipments that it sparked my interest. The health advantages of the low level laser include:

Reduces inflammation Relieves both acute and chronic pain Speeds up tissue repair Improves the quality and tensile strength of the tissue Increases blood supply Motivates faster clot formation and wound healing Energizes the immune system Stimulates nerve function Develops muscle tissue and collagen Helps produce new and healthy tissues and cells Assists in neuroplasticity May be used on acupuncture points Can be utilized for desensitization to food intolerances

These are merely a few of the possible outcomes and applications.

Biological light receptors in tissue are known as chromophores. Chromophores have been researched to get an optimum therapeutic activation at 630nm to 635 nm wavelength. It is the triggering of these chromophores that causes many healing biochemical reactions. As an example, the moment a chromophore is stimulated the oxygen carrying capacity of blood in the region being cured increases by 3 times, which aids in the healing process. It's the collimation, coherency and polarization of the laser light that allows the light to enter the skin and activate the chromophore.

Some benefits of using low level laser therapy is the equipment may be used on an individual with a secure distance from the tissue and wound being managed. It can be administered through natural fiber clothing. Eye protection is not necessary for the patient or doctor. The person does not feel heat and has very little sensation, and it also requires very little time to treat an area.

Ever since I have used low level laser therapy in my practice, I have witnessed fantastic results with plenty of patients. Recently, a patient visit my office after getting into a minor car wreck. Her neck was in spasm, and she could barely move her head towards the left. I pressed on her levator scapulae and trapezius muscles, and she answered with an "Ouch that is actually gentle."

I performed sweeping movements with the laser for about 90 seconds on both of these muscles. As Soon As I touched these muscles after utilizing the low level laser, she indicated that the pain had become much better and had about 60% reduced aches and pains within these muscles. Right after the laser treatment, I conducted a delicate spinal manipulation on her neck, and she stated that the adjustment was fluid, not agonizing, and she felt significantly better.

Another patient came into the practice with tennis elbow (pain at the lateral side of the elbow). I made use of the low level laser, and he claimed a significant decline in discomfort after 6 sessions. There is an excellent article that discusses low level laser treatment of tendinopathy in the journal Photomed Laser Surg, 2010.

Several people have discovered what allergens or foods are a problem for their systems through the nutrition response testing technique. I've recently released a desensitization technique that utilizes laser acupuncture to enable the entire body to become tolerant to these foods again. After using the laser on the master points and the patient complying with three weeks of refraining completely from these foods, many are already capable to tolerate these foods again. Applying the laser on these points acts as a form of rewiring, so the body doesn't behave in the same way and responds better to these foods.

As we continue to discover and appreciate the advantages of light as a therapy, may there be increased light in all of your lives!
