Cold Laser Therapy

Physics researcher Theodore Miaman and his team gave the first public presentation of laser technology to the press at Hughes Research Laboratory in California on July 7, 1960. Its first medical application was for laser surgery in 1970. dr. Anton Mester, a Hungarian physician, was the first to observe the tissue healing effect of low level laser irradiation while attempting to use a laser to treat cancerous tumors in rats in 1967. His unexpected observations opened up a whole new world of possibilitis for wound healing, pain relief and many other exciting applications.

Cold Laser Therapy also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy has FDA approval and more than 30 years of research with more than 2,500 published articles from all over the world. Cold Laser Therapy a.k.a. Low Level Laser Therapy has a specific photobiomodulation effect on body tissues. Photobiomodulation is a term used to describe the chemical changes that occur in the cells and tissues in response to exposure to laser and non-laser light therapies. These effects have been described as primary, secondary, and tertiary tissue effects.

Cold Laser Therapy is fast becoming many doctors treatment of choice to relieve chronic or acute pain and decrease the amount of time needed for the healing of injuries.
