Laser Therapy
Introduction to Laser Therapy
The laser has the ability to penetrate through the skin and regenerate cells. The problem with prior cold lasers is that they were using small millowatts which would only treat superficial skin related problems. Because of the small millowatts the lasers could not help or heal the deeper tissue. On the other hand the trouble with the cold lasers that used a very high wattage (15-25000 millowatts) is that they would create too much heat and burn the tissue. Finally TerraQuant has pioneered and patented a computer microprocessor that is able to super pulsate the high millowatts so that the laser can go in very deep and at the same time not create heat.
The TerraQuant laser is able to treat:
- Acute, Sub-Acute and Chronic Pain
- Back Pain
- Bursitis
- Carpal Tunnel syndrome
- Arthritis Pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Ligament Sprains
- Tendonitis
- Tennis Elbow
- Soft Tissue Injuries
Healing with light at the cellular level
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 the production of ATP. This biochemical increase in cell energy is used to help transform cells from a state of illness to a stable, healthy state.
The key to successful laser therapy is safely delivering a high density of photons to damaged tissue. This is where most laser devices fall short.
Metaphor of how laser works
When the laser contacts skin it is much like the sunlight. For example when the sunlight hit’s skin it stimulates the cells to produce vitamin D and when sunlight hit’s a leaf it causes the leaf to produce chlorophyll. This is similar to the laser because when the laser contacts your skin it stimulates the cells to create reparative chemicals enabling the healing process.
