Cold Laser Therapy
In a rapidly developing technological workplace, the human body has a hard time keeping pace with the demands of modern machines and repetitive motions. The cumulative daily effect of fast, forceful and seemingly harmless movements of one's shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands while operating computers, cutting meat, assembling automobiles, or handling packages, adversely affects workers and industries worldwide.
As demands for productivity increase, so do physical demands on the individual. These demands lead to stressed muscles and tendons pushed far beyond their limits, resulting in disorders commonly known as Repetitive Stress Injury or "RSI." A very common RSI problem is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or "CTS." CTS has a major financial impact on industry worldwide, resulting in millions of lost dollars each year.
MicroLight Corporation of America, a leader in non-toxic laser therapy, is working toward an effective solution to RSI, employing the process of photobiostimulation. The ML 830® was designed by a team of doctors and leading medical engineers to harness the therapeutic application of advanced low-energy laser technology.
Virtually all light has some penetration properties. However, when applied to the human body, the outer skin layers absorb some light. Traditional thermal (hot) laser light can penetrate skin, but often destroys tissue. Because damaged cells benefit from light, researchers looked for a way to develop a non-thermal and non-destructive method for delivering light to deep tissue.
The ML 830® is a non-thermal laser capable of penetrating deep into tissue. Once delivered, light energy promotes the process of photobiostimulation. The positive effect of photobiostimulation on animal cells is analogous to photosynthesis in plant cells, where a chain of chemical reactions is set in motion. In human tissue, the resulting photochemical reaction produces an increase in the cellular metabolism rate, which expedites cell repair and stimulation of the immune, lymphatic and vascular systems. The net result, observed in clinical trials to date, is an apparent reduction in pain, inflammation, edema and an overall reduction in healing time.
In cooperation with General Motors and several other clinical investigators throughout the United States, it was proved that the ML 830® is effective in the low-level laser therapeutic treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Future clinical trials will determine the efficacy of ML 830® low-energy laser therapy in other repetitive-stress disorders, pain management, soft tissue trauma, and dental applications.

Surface electromyography (SEMG Scan) to assess the electrical current in the muscles. Your muscles are controlled by nerves. The SEMG measures how well the motor nerves are working by reading the amount of current found in the muscles. Spinal Subluxations disturb nerve flow and cause an abnormal amount of electrical current to flow to your muscles. Additionally, altered spinal position or brain function creates muscle imbalance. This reveals an increased amount of tension/pull on one side compare to the other (similar to a tug of war.)
Temperature Differences (Thermal Scan)When the communication between the nerve system and your blood vessels is disturbed the body’s thermostat malfunctions producing an imbalanced temperature reading along the spine. These blood vessels are controlled by the same part of the Central Nerve System that coordinates your organs, glands and body chemistry, your autonomic system. Temperature differences beyond 1/2 a degree can be neurologically pathological. (Umatsu) Additionally, a non changing reading indicates a nerve system that fails to adapt to stress appropriately.

Range of motion: To measure loss of Motion/Flexibility (Inclinometer)This test measures your spinal movement in comparison to normal ranges for your age and gender. When there is abnormal positioning of the vertebrae, it reduces fluid motion of your spine. When range of motion is restricted stress is caused on the parts involved—this begins a decaying process and spinal degeneration. This process will not only affect the problem areas, but left uncorrected will negatively affect the whole body. If you had 1 of the 4 tires turning 20% less than the other 3 your vehicle would be unsafe to drive. You have 7 neck bones, 12 mid-back bones, and 5 low-back bones. They must all move freely and fluidly for you spine to take you on your life's journeys safely. |
