The goal of laser therapy is to deliver light energy units, in the form of
photons, to damaged cells. The consensus of experts is that photons absorbed by
the cells through laser therapy stimulate the mitochondria to accelerate
production of ATP. This biochemical increase in cell energy is used to help
transform live cells from a state of illness to a stable, healthy state. Laser
therapy is commonly used to increase the speed, quality and tensile strength of
tissue repair, resolve inflammation, and provide pain relief.
Laser therapy
has been found to offer superior healing and analgesic effects compared to
other electrotherapeutic modalities, especially in the early stages of acute
injuries and for chronic problems. Laser therapy can also be used for acupuncture
point stimulation. Laser therapy is a universal method of treating muscle,
tendon, ligament, connective tissue, bone and skin tissue with one simple piece
of equipment, however, the best results are achieved when it is used to
compliment other manual therapy techniques. It is non-invasive, drug-free, pain
free and of short duration-usually 2-5 minute per treatment.

• Superior Alternative to: Analgesics, NSAID’s, Other Medications, Other
Modalities
• Reduces Need for Surgery
Therapeutic
Laser Biological Effects
Rapid Cell Growth — Laser light accelerates cellular reproduction and growth.
Faster
Wound Healing — Laser light stimulates fibroblast development and accelerates
collagen synthesis in damaged tissue.
Increased Metabolic
Activity — Higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater
oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells and thus greater production of
the basic food source for cells, Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP).
Reduced
Fibrous Tissue Formation — Laser light reduces the formation of scar tissue
following tissue damage from: cuts, scratches, burns or post surgery.
Anti-Inflammatory
Action — Laser light reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of
joints to give enhanced joint mobility.
Increased
Vascular Activity — Laser light induces temporary vasodilation increasing blood
flow to damaged areas.
Stimulated
Nerve Function — Slow recovery of nerve function in
damaged tissue can result in “dead” limbs or numb areas. Laser light speeds the
process of nerve cell reconnection to bring the numb areas back to life.
The
TerraQuant® is the only non-invasive pain relief medical device on the market
that delivers spectacular results using a unique combination of pulse laser,
infrared radiation, visible red light and magnetic field generations based on
Low Level Laser Quantum Therapy--88% positive effect was demonstrated in the
clinical trials conducted for the efficacy of TerraQuant in relieving pain
caused by arthritis of small and medium joints. TerraQuant Laser Therapy is
used in 30 countries focusing on numerous solutions and therapies.
The
TerraQuant consists of four healing technologies synergistically working
together:
1. Super
Pulsed Laser (905nm) produces a high power level of impulse light at a
billionth of a second. It is the high power during each pulse that drives the
photons, or light energy, to the target tissue, up to 10—13cm (4—5 inches)
deep. The TerraQuant's high peak power of up to 25,000mW creates a higher
photon density, delivering the highest concentration of photons for healing and
providing the deepest tissue penetration. Super pulsed laser strongly
influences pain reduction, the improvement of microcirculation and increases
cell metabolism in the form of ATP production.
2. Pulsed
Broad Band Infrared Emitting Diodes (875nm) penetrates shallower tissue
depths than the laser but provide an overall broader spectrum, when compared to
laser radiation, by gently heating the surface tissue layer.
3. Pulsed
Red Light (660nm) penetrates shallower tissue depth and has beneficial
anti-inflammatory effects.
4. Static
Magnetic Field keeps ionized molecules of tissue in a dissociated stage,
enhancing the energy potential at the molecular and cellular levels.
Working
synergistically, the multiple radiances create the optimal biological
environment for accelerated healing and pain relief. The use of the preset
frequencies, allows clinicians to control the depth of the therapeutic energy
from the surface up to 13 cm (5 inches) deep.
Clinically
Proven
TerraQuant can significantly reduce pain in as little as 3 treatments.
Treatments are safe and can be easily performed by a professional or
self-administered. Hold the emitter and move it in a circular mo
3LT® Low Level Laser Therapy
L 5000
Erchonia's patent-pending line of 3LT® Lasers is headed up by the PL5000.
Completely redesigned to reflect the features and functions requested by the
doctors and practitioners that have been using Erchonia 3LT® Lasers to treat
their patients since 1996.
The PL5000 is a variable frequency, four diode laser that is encased in a
custom designed, aircraft quality aluminum housing to resist the rigors of
daily use in the real world. Ergonomically designed to fit hands of all sizes,
the dual-diode head, conveniently clips to the side of the laser when not in
use, which increases security and prevents accidental ocular exposure to both
patient and doctor.
About the only mechanical piece on the PL5000 is the lock and key that enables
the owner to prevent the unauthorized use of the laser.
