Cold Laser Therapy |

 We use laser technology today to listen to our favorite music CDs, to watch Hi-Definition TV, to scan and print documents, and to measure distances, temperature and speed. There is also a lot of buzz about lasers in the healing arts, but what they actually are and how they really work remains a mystery to most of us.Cold laser therapy, also known as Low Level laser therapy, is one of the safest and most effective physical medicine therapies that exists. Hot lasers emit heat which destroys tissue and are used primarily for surgical procedures of the eye, skin and abdomen. Cold lasers produce a healing effect with no heat. Cold lasers have been around for over 25 years and there has yet to be one recorded side effect. Dr. Nedd uses the PL 5000 Erchonia™ Medical laser which is programmed at a base wavelength of 635 nanometers (one billionth of a meter). This exact wavelength was documented in Scientific American magazine in August 1997 to kill bacteria, accelerate wound healing and improve energy production, while at the same time neutralizing potentially harmful free radicals, which have been proven to cause cancer. Research has shown that the cells of the body actually communicate with each other through the same type of light emitted by a laser known as coherent light. Different frequencies or pulsed vibrations of light can be programmed into this specific cold laser device to influence the healing of specific tissues resulting in rapid and superior healing, pain and inflammation reduction, and increased range of motion. Specific conditions that it has been shown to help include acute, chronic or post-operative pain, tendonitis, tendon/ligament/muscle disorders including sprains, strains and weakness; fractures; carpal tunnel syndrome; tennis and golfer's elbow; scar tissue; nerve root irritations; back and neck problems; cranial nerve disorders; intestinal disorders including ulcers, intestinal pain and tumors; burns; herpes lesions; and a variety of other skin conditions including the infamous flesh eating bacteria. Recent success stories include helping 2 patients avoid surgery by helping heal torn knee tissues, plus helping a patient in a local hospital go off the heavy painkillers Morphine and Vicodin the day after a major surgery, and then able to go home the next day! The average Cold Laser treatment takes anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, is painless and is very affordable. Contact our office to find out if you can benefit from this incredible technology. For more information, attend the workshop at Nature's Food Patch on February 3, 2009. Workshop Schedule—Mondays 7:00-8:00pm
 New Therapeutic Self-Massage Tool AvailableWe now carry the Intracell® Stick which you can use to roll out knots in your muscles. It can be used on the neck, back, arms and legs providing painless myofascial release and trigger point therapy. Five independent research studies verify its effectiveness and it is used by many professional athletes. It is also used as a training tool by athletes at the United States Olympic Training Centers. It is lightweight, simple to use, and the results can be felt immediately! Come to the February 23rd workshop to learn more about this great piece of technology. Cell Phone Anti-Radiation Device Available  We now have available a device call the RF Raider™ which reduces radiation exposure to the human body by up to 60% across all wireless communication bands. This device is FCC Certified since scientific testing on it verified that it significantly reduced harmful radio frequencies that people using cell phones or other wireless devices are normally exposed to. It fits nicely on the side or back of your cell phone or wireless device. Back to Newsletter Library
