Introduction to Therapeutic Lasers

Low level laser therapy is fast becoming a treatment of choice for professional and high-level amateur athletes. Lasers are showing up in burn treatment centers, chiropractic, physical therapy and dental offices. Oncologists have discovered that lasers can help reduce some of the severe symptoms of radiation and chemotherapy. And individuals and families are starting to use lasers instead of over-the-counter medications for a variety of conditions ranging from headaches and low back pain to insomnia. Yet most people in the U.S. have never heard of low level lasers.

Much of this Web site is devoted to explaining how and why these amazing tools work and how and where to use them. You can find this information by following the navigation links at the left or the links below.

This is a fast-moving field of study for researchers. To review some of the most recent papers, visit the National Institutes of Health publication database. Clicking below will open it in a new window.

Clinical Studies

Well over 2500 clinical studies on the effectiveness of therapeutic lasers have been published during the last 30 years.

Laser Light and Biological Tissues

Low level lasers treat at a cellular level. They directly contribute to the energy available to the cells for internal cellular processes. When this is considered, it is not surprising that therapeutic lasers find application in a wide array of conditions.

Lasers and Bodywork

Understanding how laser light works in conjunction with manual techniques will help you in developing your own treatment techniques.

Laser Modulation

In addition to the amazing — and often unique — properties of laser light, the lasers can be pulsed on and off. Extensive research has been done on the effects of electromagnetic frequencies on the body. Therapeutic lasers can combine frequency medicine and light therapy into the same treatment. Q-Lasers (and only Q-Lasers) even generate soliton waves to increase penetration at low power levels.

Contraindications

The photonic energy from lasers has very few conditions where its use is not recommended — and an amazing number of indicated conditions.

Q-Laser Product Classification

The Q1000 and Q10 lasers are registered with the FDA as Class I laser devices based on research completed by Underwriters Laborities (UL). Class I lasers are classified as NSR (non-significant risk) devices.

The 660 Enhancer Probe is a Class IIIA device and the 808 Enhancer Probe is a Class IIIB device. Care should be taken when using these devices.

A Brief History of Therapeutic Lasers

Einstein theorized the possibility of a laser device in 1912, but the first working laser was demonstrated by Theodor Maiman in 1960. The early lasers were considered a curiosity with little understanding of their possible applications. Within a short time period, they were being evaluated for many uses in industry, defense and medicine. As early as 1963, reports of surgical laser use appeared and in 1966, experiments using low level lasers showed promise in the area of wound healing.

While low level therapeutic lasers have been used extensively in Europe since the late 1970s, their use in the U.S. has been limited mostly to experimental applications. With the Food and Drug Administration's approval of a low level laser for treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome in 2002, the market for these instruments has rapidly grown. They're now being used in chiropractic offices, physical therapy clinics, and the training rooms of professional sports teams.
