Alternative Healing with Cold Lasers

Q1000 LASER

Have you heard the buzz about using cold lasers for healing countless ailments? Cold lasers are being used by Doctors, Dentists, Acupuncturists, DO’s, Oral Surgeons, Veterinarians, Chiropractors and the list goes on. Treatment with cold laser therapy is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing segments of alternative medicine.

The first cold lasers were used over 30 years ago. In Europe, Asia and Canada cold lasers have been used routinely for about 20 years and yet in America they are relatively new to mainstream medicine. Why is this? Just 3 short years ago the United States FDA started to give clearance to cold lasers for use in specific areas. For example the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), neck and shoulder pain, and other pain treatment applications.

Additional names that are often used interchangeably with cold laser are: low level laser (LLT), photobiostimulation laser, photobiomodulation laser , biostimulating laser, bioregulating laser, soliton laser and soft laser. Until a consensus is reached, the two most important names to remember are cold laser and low level laser, which is often used interchangeably with low level laser therapy (LLLT).

Why is it called a cold laser? A laser that utilizes a diode that is 500 mW or less is called a cold laser because it does not produce enough thermal output to heat the tissue being treated. A variety of cold lasers are available on the market with different power outputs and different wavelengths. Common diode power outputs include: 5 mW, 30 mW, 50 mW, 100 mW, 200 mW and 500 mW. The higher the power output, generally the shorter the treatment.

Is there a difference between a laser and an LED? Yes, it is an important difference, which comes down to coherence and depth of penetration. A cold laser uses coherent, polarized light that is highly focused and columnated, allowing it to travel in a straight line for long distances or to penetrate into the deeper layers of the body. The light from LED’s is monochromatic, non coherent light, which is useful for treatment of superficial tissues such as wounds and skin conditions. In comparative studies, lasers have been shown to be more effective and faster working. Some of the most effective and versatile lasers on the market utilize both laser and LED light output.

Is cold laser therapy scientifically well documented? LLLT will naturally not work on anything, however due to the fact that it treats at a cellular level, it is successful at treating an astounding level of conditions. Some research has failed to demonstrate effect in several indications, however proper treatment is dependant upon numerous factors including dosage, diagnosis, frequency of treatment and treatment technique. More than 2500 research reports are published and more than 100 double-blind positive studies confirm the clinical effect of cold laser therapy. Over 90% of the 370 studies revealed in the limited LLLT dental literature alone verify the clinical value of cold laser therapy.

Guide to Cold Laser Therapy and Its Many Health Benefits

Q1000 LASER

Cold laser therapy, or low level laser therapy, is a treatment in which a cold laser is used to treat acute and chronic pain. It is also called a "soft laser." If you suffer from back pain, joint pain, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, neuropathy, neck pain, or other related health conditions, cold laser therapy might be a viable solution for you. How it Works Cold laser therapy works by increasing the levels of serotonin to help your body heal itself. The therapy is noninvasive and non-thermal. The cold laser was derived from phototherapy, a light healing method developed more than 30 years ago. In phototherapy, a special type of light penetrates the surface of the skin as well as underlying tissues to stimulate natural healing in the body. The low level laser light used in cold laser therapy is actually the compressed light of a wavelength from the red part of the light spectrum, or the cold part. During the cold laser process, the body's cells are exposed to photon energy, which in turn increases the cells' metabolism, helps to develop muscle tissue and collagen, improves blood circulation, stimulates tissue repair and the healing of wounds, and stimulates the nervous and immune systems. Cold lasers are also used in acupuncture to stimulate the acupoints of the body without using needles. Types of Cold Laser Treatments There are several types of cold laser treatments such as the Q1000 Laser, 660 Probe, 808 Probe, Q1000 Propack, and the Q10 Laser. The Q1000 Laser features nine different wavelengths meant to help cells for nerves, muscles, bone, ligaments, skin and tendons. Also with the Q1000 Laser, light is sent through quartz crystal, which gives the laser organic characteristics. The 660 Probe is a gentle cold laser that penetrates deep into the body and provides more concentrated healing. It is often used for dental healing, facial or skin treatment, acupuncture, anti-aging, physical therapy, and more. The 808 Probe uses an infrared laser to reach cells in the innermost parts of the body. It helps with bones and teeth as well as ligaments, tendons, and joints. The Q10 Laser is less expensive than the Q1000 and helps with injuries, pain, and facial rejuvenation. It's also great for traveling. The Q1000 Propack combines all soft lasers into one package. Using Healing Lasers You can use healing lasers at home. Some lasers require training while others are fairly simple to use. The simpler models are designed so you can hold the laser near your body in the area where treatment is needed without discomfort. The laser does the work for you. The lasers also have different modes to help with certain needs. If you are considering cold laser treatments, consult with your doctor first. With cold laser therapy, you can aid your body in healing using a natural, effective method. Keep this guide handy while seeking the cold laser products that are right for you.

There are many cold lasers on the market today, but they are not all created equally. How do you decide which one is right for you? While cold laser will work to treat a countless myriad of conditions, not all cold lasers will work to treat all conditions. Factors that need to be taken into consideration are:

• What is the wavelenth of the diode(s) measered in nanometers (nm)?

• How many diodes does the laser have?

• How many miliwatts (mW) of power does the laser deliver?

• Does the laser have optional attachments or treatment modes?

• Does the laser offer different Hz frequencies?

• Does the laser offer continuous, pulsed or surper pulsed output?

• Is the laser a stimulating laser or a resonating laser?

Why is it called a cold laser? A laser that utilizes a diode that is 500 mW or less is called a cold laser because it does not produce enough thermal output to heat the tissue being treated. A variety of cold lasers are available on the market with different power outputs and different wavelengths. Common diode power outputs include: 5 mW, 30 mW, 50 mW, 100 mW, 200 mW and 500 mW. The higher the power output, generally the shorter the treatment time required.

Plus the Laser Probe 660 nm, 50 mW, which is popular among acupuncturists and estheticians.

THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT A SOLITON LASER:

WHAT IS A SOLITON WAVE?

Utilizing soliton waves is a fantastic breakthrough technology in low level lasers. The Q1000 lasers have a patent pending for this exciting technology. A Soliton wave is defined as a non-linear light wave that maintains its shape and increases amplitude after colliding with a similar wave. This is how whales and dolphins can communicate hundreds of miles by subtle voice emanations, because they collide their voice frequency into wave currents, which creates a soliton wave of a new energy.

By combining different wavelengths, the Q1000 laser can use subtle energies at the cellular level to penetrate and resonate cells in a way that more expensive or highly touted single wavelength lasers cannot match. This Soliton technology allows a class 1 insignificant risk laser device to accomplish many things unimaginable from higher-powered stimulating lasers.

WHY IS POLARIZATION IMPORTANT WITH LOW LEVEL LASERS OR COLD LASERS AND HOW DOES IT EFFECT POWER DENSITY?

Polarization is the body's way of protecting itself against unstable or unpredicted electromagnetic emanations. Polarization is also defined as resistance or impedance to energy that is not of a constant frequency to the cell. The Q1000 laser is computer controlled via another patent-pending technology, to always maintain a constant power density, (power density is the power output of the laser) even if the battery for the laser is running low! Few practitioners are aware of this important aspect of low level lasers.

Q1000 Laser Offers Seven Different Treatment Modes including:

Mode 1 for acute and chronic pain, inflammation, wounds, burns, tendons, ligaments, bone injuries, muscle spasms and muscle relaxation. Use to re-energize muscle, ligament and tendon cells. Also benefits tendonitis, arthritis, sprains, cuts, bruises, muscle pulls, sore throat, and any pain or inflammation.

Mode 2 for harmonizing anything to do with the heart and brain and unwinding the adrenal glands and nervous system. Use to benefit headaches (including migraines), normalizing brain neuropeptides and heart cell energy.

Mode 3 is used as a multi-organ cell re-energizer that cycles through 29 different frequencies shown to be effective and beneficial for healing and restoration of gland and organ functions. This multi-frequency mode is used to alleviate inflammation and disorders of all internal organs - including kidney, liver, bladder, pancreas, ovary, testes, uterus and endocrine glands. It can be used on all organs as well as for viruses, herpes, low level infections, sinus conditions, allergies, wounds, pain and for muscle relaxation.

More benefits and features of the Q1000 include:

The Q1000 has a total of twenty diodes clustered in an ultra portable hand-held unit. That's an amazing 12 laser diodes and 8 LED's for optimum coverage and penetration of red and blue light and infrared wavelengths, including the patent-pending Soliton wave technology. Delivering 7 different wavelengths to meet all the needs of a complex body.

This laser is used for a wide range of acute and chronic pain and inflammatory conditions. It features a range of modulation frequencies from 1 to 20,000 Hertz and is ideally suited for use on deep or surface injuries, cuts, bruises, sprains, cold sores, sore throat, headaches (incl. migraines), tendonitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), inflammation and arthritis.

The Q1000 Laser is computerized and comes with 3 proprietary modes that the inventor of this laser believes, "covers 95% of the most common disorders." He studied the frequencies that worked for Royal Rife, Jack Swartz, author of "Human Energy Systems" and other books, as well as what worked for Yogis. The Q-1000 Laser comes with 4 additional slots that can be preprogrammed at the factory to produce dozens of custom frequencies and power densities, including those of your choice that are shown to be beneficial.

Powered by a 7.2V, 300 minute, rapid charge, intelligent "No Memory" Lithium-Ion battery (battery and charger included). That means it is good for 10 thirty minute treatments or 20 fifteen minute treatments before recharging is required. The Q1000 laser delivers multiple wavelengths, power settings and time intervals via up to seven different modes.
