What Is… FDA approved, safe, non-invasive, drug –free way to improve your health, and the treatment is only 3-5 minutes and is also safe for animals?

Answer:  Cold Laser – “light therapy”, aka Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT).

Does it work?             A resounding: YES

How does it work- basics?

The light from the laser is directed into a target area so that it can project deep into the cells. These light/photons stimulate the cell to produce energy which is called ATP-Adenosine 5’ –triphosphate. ATP is the principal molecule in the cell for storing and transferring energy within the cell. When this occurs, this result is better communication and regeneration within the cells. You feel nothing… during treatment. The results follow.

Types of Lasers?

There are HOT Lasers and there are COLD Lasers.

The difference is that HOT Laser are used in surgery and excellent for “Surgical Precision.”

Cold Laser are ‘light-photochemical’ that does not burn the skin.

COLD LASERS are used for “Healing Precision.”

What is it good for? I usually answer, about almost anything… especially if you are suffering from pain; inflammation, joint swelling, or you want to accelerate recovery and healing.

And- there are NO Negative side effects.

FDA has cleared Cold Laser to treat conditions such as neck, shoulder and low back pain, as well as planter fasciitis (heel pain).
