Low Level Laser Therapy or LLLT has proven to be a very effective treatment for many conditions that have not responded well to traditional methods. LLLT procedures do not cut or burn into the skin or affected areas-they stimulate the tissues and promote healing by penetrating deep into the tissues initializing the process of photobiostimulation. The patient feels no discomfort related to the procedure. The light energy from the low level laser is absorbed in cytochromes and porphyries within cell mitochondria and cell membranes. A small amount of Signet Oxygen is produced as a result of the absorption. This is combined with a number of other factors to produce healing as demonstrated by the positive results achieved in the thousands of clinical studies conducted world wide.

LLLT has been thoroughly tested and proven as an effective medical treatment in Italy, England, Russia, Israel, Japan, Canada, Korea, India and many other countries in Europe, South America and the Far East. Doctors in these countries report a 55% to 75% improvement in the alleviation of pain and increase in range of motion and a 75% cure rate. LLLT has achieved substantial results throughout the world in the control and management of lower back pain and dramatic improvement in degenerative arthritic problems, cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral vertebral conditions as well as sports type injuries such as rotator cuff, tennis elbow, swelling, spasms, repetitive stress injuries, Achilles tendon injuries, wound healing, bed sores, TMJ disorders and related conditions. Early indications have shown promise in the treatment of Tinnitus. The power diode laser therapy units are utilized in many dental applications such as post extraction edema, sensitive teeth and gums and benign mouth lesions.

While thoroughly tested in many countries outside the U.S., LLLT powered diode laser therapy has been approved by the FDA.  In many instances, low level laser therapy can be a viable alternative to surgery.
