The Cold Laser: The Most Versatile HealthcareTool of the 21st Century
Our office offers two of the most advanced cold laser therapies used in the industry.
The cold laser has been called “The Therapy” of the 21st century. In over 1700 publications, there have been no recorded negative side-effects. This versatile tool is totally safe, non-toxic, and easy use. In around thirty years of using the cold laser, it has become one of the most versatile conjunctive tools we have ever used. It has potent synergistic effects with nutritional therapies. It is both doctor and patient friendly.
This promising tool is called the cold laser, the soft laser, the low-power laser; or the low level laser. The term laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation. All lasers emit coherent, focused light that travels in a narrow beam in one direction. |
• High Power, “hot” lasers have shorter wavelengths, which have catabolic effects that can deliberately destroy tissue in cauterizing and surgical applications
• Low Power, “soft”, “cool”, or “cold” lasers have longer wavelengths that have anabolic effects that promote rapid reduction of pain, accelerate healing time, and accelerate growth and repair
Cold lasers have stimulative effects rather than destructive ones. It may be the perfect conjunctive tool for chiropractic treatments and myofascial release. Clinical applications of the cold laser have included acute and chronic pain reduction from many etiologies, inflammation reduction, enhanced tissue healing, and cell regeneration. The results have shown very rapid pain reduction and accelerated recovery times, far exceeding conventional methods.
Benefits of Laser Therapy :
• Non-Toxic
• Virtually No Contra-Indications
• Non-Invasive
• Easy to Apply
• No Side Effects or Pain
• Very Safe
• Highly Effective for Patient (more than 90% efficacy)
• 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 |
We have recently added the The MR4™ Super Pulsed Laser - World’s most advanced pain relieving modality
Multi Radiance Technology™ is the first of its kind to combine the entire range of the therapeutic light spectrum and deliver therapeutic energy in a synergistic manner. The syncing of the therapeutic wavelengths creates an optimal environment that reinforces the effects of the individual wavelengths to create the world’s most advanced pain relieving modality.
This FDA-cleared device provides an effective non-surgical, drug-free treatment option. Multi Radiance Medical features a unique combination of radiances that work synergistically for optimal pain relief and healing.
The MR4™ includes the patented LaserSweep technology which creates a constantly changing frequency to scan the selected target tissue from superficial to deep. This prevents biological adaptation to treatment for maximum impact. It delivers higher peak power yet is safe without the risk of thermal damage found with class IV lasers.

Advantages of Super Pulsed Laser:
1. More Power = More Photonic Energy
Advanced Semi-Conductor laser diode delivers higher power pulses of Photonic Energy in thousands of milliwatts without burning tissue
2. Increases in peak power improve depth penetration of energy into tissue
3. Breakthrough in Thermal Barrier
Super Pulsed Laser produces a high peak impulse of intense light for a fraction of a second. Thus, there are no damaging thermal effects in the tissue because the pulses are of very short duration.
4. Maximum Photonic Density
The power density during these very high pulses yields an extremely high photon flux and saturation, further delivering a stronger therapeutic effect into the tissue.
5. Safety
The Super Pulsed Laser Technology provides more energy and penetrates deeper than comparable non-super pulsed lasers but does not generate excessive damaging heat.
Erchonia Laser Treatment:
Decrease pain and inflammation and increase range of motion
Dr. Silverman offers the Erchonia Laser PL5000 to his line of advanced sports medicine modalities.
Dr. Jeff Spencer, who is the Sports Chiropractor for the US Postal cycling team, and Lance Armstrong, uses the PL5000 laser. Lance has said that he credits most of his success to Dr. Spencer and the Laser. The Laser is used to enhance tissue recovery, effective in accelerating healing for burns and wounds, and significantly advance/speed up injury healing time. Low Level Laser Therapy promotes healing in many conditions, including chronic/acute pain, and other joint and neurological conditions.
Erchonia's lasers made history by becoming the first to receive FDA market clearance for the treatment of chronic pain, proven through two double blind IRB studies. The Erchonia Lasers are the most advanced lasers on the market, with their sleek revolutionary design, patented line generated beam, and the ability to program independent frequencies in all of their family of lasers.
Low Level Laser Therapy has been successfully used to treat many conditions such as acute and chronic pain reduction, repetitive use disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome, soft tissue strains and sprains, inflammation reduction, enhanced tissue wound healing, and cell regeneration.
