Cold Laser Therapy
The Erchonia cold laser device has gained recent FDA approval for non-surgical treatment of neck and shoulder complaints and is being widely used in the NFL and by the USPS tour de France team chiropractor. The beneficial effects of the Erchonia laser are also currently being researched by leading plastic surgeons for use in liposuction procedures.
How It works:
When the body has an injury, cells are damaged and fail to function within normal parameters. Low level lasers penetrate deeply into the skin and restore this abnormal cellular function.
Results:
Physiologic effects include improved metabolism, circulation and tissue healing. Laser therapy may also be useful for any of the following:
- tendonitis
