The ML830® Cold Laser was designed by a team of Doctors and leading medical engineers to harness the therapeutic application of advanced
low energy laser technology. The ML830® is a handheld, non-invasive,
low energy, therapeutic laser. The ML830® produces infrared (invisable)
laser light at 830nm (nanometer) wavelength and is classified by the FDA
as a Class lllB
medical device.
In coorperation with General Motors and several other clinical investigators
throughout the
United State, it was proved that the ML830® is an effective
tool in the battle of pain.
Around the world, laser therapy is rapidly becoming a medical therapy that
can heal wounds and fractures up to 60% faster and also reduce the cost
of treatment for many conditions. In the U.K., Low Level Laser has become
the treatment of choice for soft tissue “whiplash” injuries and for the treatment
of painful post-herpetic neuralgia (shingles pain).
For most people, laser therapy is quite passive. There are no pulsating
shocks felt, as in forms of electronic stimulation, nor heat used as with
ultrasounds. The most noticeable sensation is the touch of the probe
head of the laser, as it comes in contact with the skin.
Some patients (3-5% of those undergoing light therapy) have reported a
slight tingling or tapping in nerve pathway. Some have noted that they are
able to sense a slight feeling of warmth. But for the most part, the treatment
which may last from 2 to 20 minutes, is not noticed at all. Following (and even
during) a laser therapy session, approximately 75-80% of patients being
treated can notice immediate improvement in their condition. This will depend
primarily on the type of condition and the length of time the condition has
been present.
Generally, the more chronic or severe the condition, the longer it takes to
respond. The majority of conditions treated will take anywhere from 4-5 or
10-18 treatments. Once again, the number of treatments depends upon the
severity of the condition and its duration. If your condition does not change
immediately, it may take 3-4 sessions before a dramatic or marked change
is perceived.
In our experience the ML830®, which has been affectionately called “the
world’s most expensive flashlight,” has a mulititude of uses. Perhaps the
most appealing single factor about this unit is the possibility that it may
help conditions where all previous therapies have failed. We are certain
you can readily see how such an attribute would endear this unit to any
dedicated practioner.
