1. The FDA has approved low level (cold) laser radiation for the treatment of several forms of osteoarthritis primarily because of the subtle healing effect it has on joints. The heat helps reduce pain.
2. Cold laser 'at low doses has been shown to enhance cell proliferation of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, endothelial cells, and lymphocytes. The mechanism of proliferation is thought to result from photo-stimulation of the mitochondria leading to activation of signaling pathways and up-regulation of transcription factors eventually giving rise to increases in growth factors. Low-level laser therapy can enhance neovascularization, promote angiogenesis and increase collagen synthesis to aid in the healing of acute and chronic wounds. It has been observed in many studies, that Low-level laser therapy exhibits a biphasic dose-response curve, whereby lower doses of light are more effective than much higher doses. These low doses of light have demonstrated the ability to heal skin, nerves, tendons, cartilage and bones. This biphasic dose-response curve may have important implications for Low-level laser therapy for pain relief for the following reasons. Low-intensity Low-level laser therapy stimulates mitochondria and raises mitochondrial membrane potential and might be supposed to be more likely to increase metabolism and transport of action potentials in neurons rather than decrease it. However, much higher intensity Low-level laser therapy produced by a focused laser spot acting on a nerve has the opposite effect, inhibiting mitochondrial metabolism in c-fibers and a-delta fibers and reducing mitochondrial membrane potential, thereby inducing a nerve blockade'.
Here are three cold laser devices we recommend:
Spooky2 Cold Laser Twin
Spooky2 Cold Laser Wrist
MiraMate Joint Aid
