Medical Professionals
Dear Doctors,
Would you like to get dramatically better results from your patients who have pain, soft tissue injuries, wounds and those recovering from surgery and make more money at the same time?
Have you heard about a remarkable new treatment called Laser Therapy?
Actually, Laser Therapy is not that new. In fact, this non-invasive form of treatment has been around for over 30 years in Europe and it wasn’t until 2002 that the first therapeutic laser was cleared in the U.S. by the FDA. Laser Therapy is a non-surgical and painless treatment solution for even the most difficult neuromusculoskeletal conditions plaguing today’s patients. Healing and recovery come from the laser’s ability to “bio-stimulate” tissue growth and repair using infrared light.
How does it work?
Laser Therapy has the same effect on a body as sunlight does on a growing plant. Chromophores are components of molecules which absorb light. The stimulation of chromophores on the mitochondrial membranes stimulates the production of ATP leading to a cascade of events.
1. Increased growth factor response within cells and tissues as a result of increased ATP and protein synthesis.
2. Accelerated cell reproduction and growth leading to faster repair of damaged tissues.
3. Increased metabolic activity via an increase in enzyme outputs, oxygen and nutrient availability.
What makes Laser Therapy different?
Laser Therapy is unlike any other treatment modality because laser therapy actually “heals” tissue. It provides a powerful non-addictive form of pain management, accelerates tissue repair and cell growth, reduces swelling and inflammation, breaks down scar tissue, improves nerve function and stimulates trigger points and acupuncture points.
Why are we starting to hear more and more about Laser Therapy?
Some of the most high profile professional teams and their athletes are using laser therapy to get back on the field faster than ever before. Laser therapy is not just for professional athletes any more.
What conditions can benefit from Laser Therapy?
Laser Therapy offers a side effect free treatment for conditions such as Arthritis, Sports Injuries, Back & Hip Pain, Neck & Shoulder Pain, Foot & Heel Pain, Knee Pain, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Fibromyalgia, TMJ, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Non-healing Wounds, Achy/Stiff Joints, Tennis Elbow, Muscle & Ligament Tears, Trigger Points & Muscle Spasms, Sprains/Strains, Shoulder Pain/Rotator Cuff Problems, Bunion Pain, Sciatica (Leg Pain), Plantarfascitis/Arch Pain, Healing Following Surgery, Pain Following Surgery, Herniated Discs, Foot/Ankle Arthritis, Morton’s Neuroma, Ankle Sprains, Achilles Tendonitis, Shin Splints, Stress Fractures, Bunion Pain, Nerve Pain, Spinal Stenosis, as well as many other neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
How to evaluate the effectiveness of a laser?
The single most important factor that makes one therapeutic laser superior to another is penetration. Penetration is directly related to Power. Some of the other important factors in selecting the right laser are Duty Cycle, Wavelength and Treatable Beam Size.
Power – The trend in laser therapy over the past 10 years has been to increase power density and dose. A higher power density and dose have been shown to improve therapeutic outcomes considerably because many Low Power Lasers lack the necessary power to penetrate tissue to reach the target area. To achieve maximum penetration the laser must have enough power to get through the dermis and subcutaneous tissues to adequately stimulate deep seated inflammatory conditions. Low Power Lasers cannot provide the necessary energy to overcome the absorption capabilities of the superficial skin layers. Therefore, they fail to deliver a positive outcome when treating deeper structures. With 7500 milliwatts of power, Avicenna Laser Technology’s AVI HP-7.5 Class IV Therapeutic Laser has 2x’s more power than any other high power laser and 1000x’s more power than the leading cold laser!
Duty Cycle – The frequency in which the laser fires.
A. Continuous Wave Lasers – deliver photonic energy 100% of the time. According to the “Sponge Theory”, a continuous application of laser energy is necessary to penetrate the superficial tissues in order to achieve the best therapeutic outcomes. The AVI HP-7.5 delivers 7,500 milliwatts of continuous laser energy!
B. 50% Duty Cycle – lasers with a 50% Duty Cycle only fire half the time. With this type of laser as soon as you are starting to get enough penetration to get through the superficial tissues the laser turns off, making them only half as effective as a laser with the same power output.
C. Pulsed Lasers – emit energy intermittently and also have a limited ability to penetrate.
Wavelength – According to a study by the University of Toledo, longer wavelength light minimizes scatter produced by superficial layers of the skin, and allows for a penetration of light into deeper layers of skin. At 980nm, the AVI HP-7.5 has the highest wavelength of any therapeutic laser on the market.
Treatable Beam – having a larger treatment beam will not only save you time while treating patients but will also ensure that you are treating the targeted area. The AVI HP-7.5 has a treatment beam that is two to three times larger than any other high power laser and 250 times larger than the leading cold laser.
The problem with Cold/Low Power Lasers (Class III Lasers)
Low Power Lasers (Cold Lasers/ Low Level Laser Therapy/LLLT) don’t have the power to penetrate into deeper tissues. The benefits of most low power lasers come from their ability to stimulate acupuncture points which in turn stimulate the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord and brain. What the Low Power Laser Companies don’t tell you is that a $45.00 laser pointer from Office Depot has the ability to stimulate these systemic healing points as well.
High Power Lasers (Class IV Lasers)
When evaluating laser penetration which is directly related to power, the output of the single most powerful diode dictates its penetration. Adding together the power of each diode does not accurately define the lasers power. It’s like stating that because each of a car’s tires are spinning at 100 mph, that the car is actually moving at 400 mph. The same theory applies to lasers. If for example a laser claims to have 10,000 milliwatts of power, and that power is split between 2 diodes, then the laser will only penetrate as much as a 5,000 milliwatt laser. Be careful because not even a power meter can isolate the power of individual diodes!
If a laser has several wavelengths, there are multiple diodes in the laser unit as laser physics states that each diode can only have one wavelength! If this is the case make sure that the power outage of each diode has NOT been added up to equal the total power outage.
A 10,000 milliwatt laser has the ability to generate a great deal of heat. A hand held model cannot have a 10,000 milliwatt diode as the cooling fan system would be too large and too heavy.
