Low Level Laser Therapy

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been used worldwide for over 40 years to relieve pain,
remove scars, heal wounds, regenerate nerves and solve addictions. On January 17th, 2002, the first U.S. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) company, Erchonia, the laser Dr. Willfahrt has been using to treat patients for the past 5 years, received FDA clearance through a clinical trial. The study took 100 patients complaining of Neck and Shoulder pain; half (the placebo group) were treated with a red light similar to that on a computer mouse or grocery check-out, and the other half received LLLT. The results of the treatment group showed improvements that were 66% better than the placebo. That’s 66% faster pain relief, and some experienced complete relief.
This study was a “double blind” study, which is the gold standard for measuring the validity of a therapy. Similar studies have granted Erchonia FDA clearances for Carpal Tunnel, Wounds and Scar Tissue. There are over 2000 published studies on LLLT reporting zero negative side effects.

In a nutshell, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) causes tissues to heal faster – muscle, skin and nerve – 66% faster according to the above FDA study.
Specifically, LLLT works at the cellular level. Human cells produce a chemical known as ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) which is used to run the body and heal tissue. All of our body’s activities result from the use of ATP, it’s like gasoline for a car. LLLT stimulates a micro- structure within the cells called the mitochondria (nicknamed the “powerhouse” because it produces ATP) to make slightly higher amounts of ATP. With more ATP at the cellular level, tissues heal faster, and relief comes quicker.

As is true of many alternative therapies, you may receive alternative benefits to being treated, in addition to what you wanted fixed in the first place. This is because the ATP being produced is “systemic”, meaning although we’re focusing the laser on a particular area, the ATP is ultimately being sent throughout your entire body. The list of symptoms responding to LLLT is growing, and more valid research is being performed on a daily basis.
