Quantum Healing Lasers

Choosing and using a cold laser and why

By Dr. Hoffmaier, DC

Definition: Cold laser therapies use light energy to directly stimulate the body’s cells to do what they were created to do. What happens is the laser carries particles of energy that penetrate the skin’s surface and are absorbed by the photo receptor sites in the cell membrane. The cells and tissues then convert the light energy into biochemical energy. With this increased energy, it initiates a cell to cell signal for the desired biological process to happen so the cell can function normally and be restored. Some of these processes are:

• Reduction of pain and inflammation / improved circulation and lymphatic drainage
• Decreased swelling
• Cell growth causing tissue repair and strengthening
• Improved immune response

All of these processes lead to an improved healing time.

Treatment:

There are the three modes or programs of treatment that the clinic is currently using:

Program 1:
Indications: Acute pain and inflammation.
Depth: Medium targets
Techniques: Static and Scan

Program 2:
Indications: Chronic pain in deeper tissues
Depth: Deep
Techniques: Static and Scan

Program 3:
Indications: Muscle spasm / tendon or ligament problems / skin wound / acne / shingles
Depth: Shallow
Technique: Scan

Depth is adjusted by changing Hz from 5, which is the deepest penetrating up to 3000, which is less penetrating, plus the frequency, which is calibrated in nanometers (nm).

Types of Light:

The machine used in this office, the TerraQuant Pro, is the only machine in the world that uses a special combination of three types of healing light energy, which are delivered synergistically to the body, producing a quantum healing effect. Additionally, numerous cold laser therapy accessories are available to expand treatment options with ease. Following are the three types of healing light defined:

1. Pulsed Red Light that is 660 nm, which is ideal for treatment of the superficial skin and tissue up to 1/4” deep.
   a. Ideal for skin conditions, wrinkles, collagen formation, acne and wound care.
2. Infrared Pulsed Broadband Light, which is 875 nm, and penetrates 2-3 inches.
   a. High power and fast delivery over widest area
   b. More density to target tissue, ideal for muscles and pain relief
3. Super Pulsed Laser. A laser practitioners top gun. Most advanced laser photon delivery system designed to date.
   a. It has the greatest depth up to 5 inches, for maximum delivery of photons and healing energy to the target tissues. It is a quantum healing device to accelerate healing and rejuvenation.
   b. It penetrates into the harder tissues such as bones, tendons, ligaments, spinal discs, and dense muscles.

Type of Conditions for which Laser is Helpful:

• Arthritis
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Headaches/Migraines
• Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Work injuries
• Auto Accident injuries
• Back/Neck Pain
• Neuropathy
• Knee Pain
• Shoulder Pain
• Elbow Pain
• Foot Pain

Facts About Laser Therapy:

• Pain Free
• Non Invasive
• No Known Side Effects
• Proven Clinical Results
• FDA Cleared Treatment
• Over 3000 Clinical Studies Published Worldwide

Contraindications:

• Do not get treated or apply treatments to another person if you have a pacemaker.

Do not treat:

• Directly into open eyes.
• Pregnant or lactating women.
• Over suspicious lesions or cancer.
• Over thyroid gland.

Warnings:
Do not use around water. Contact with water could cause electric shock.

Do not look directly at the light source. The TerraQuant MQ2000 emits high intensity light and prolonged (greater than 30 seconds) exposure of your eyes directly to the light may cause damage. Direct or reflected radiation should be prevented from entering the eyes.

Use protective eyewear for treatment on face or eyes.

Do not allow the unit to contact broken skin. The device is not sterile and may cause infection.

Only use the power adapter supplied with your TerraQuant MQ2000. Do not use any other power supply as it may cause electric shock.

Precautions:
Not for use by or on children under 3 years old without medical supervision.
Children under the age of 18 should be treated under the supervision of an adult.
Do not exceed the treatment duration and frequency recommended in the operating instruction.

Risks:
Looking directly at the light source for longer than 30 seconds may cause damage. Direct or reflected radiation should be prevented fro entering the eyes. Use protective eyewear for treatment on face or eyes.

Direct exposure of the treated area to other intense light sources such as UV Sun Lamps may cause excess heating. If the unit contacts broken skin, use caution as infection may occur.

What to Expect from using TerraQuant Pro Laser Devices:
Patients should start to feel a reduction in pain immediately after treatment.
Treatments should be continued until pain has stopped.
Stiff muscles should be noticeably more relaxed after 2 sessions of treatment.
In rare cases a patient may experience a temporary increase of pain or discomfort associated with a chronic condition. This is actually a good sign because it indicates that the condition is being taken out of chronic and into acute. While uncomfortable, it offers the potential for healing not readily attainable any other way. If this does occur, treat again two days later with reduced treatment time.

Most people experience significant results in 1-3 treatments. Chronic conditions may require routine treatments over several weeks or months to get lasting results. The benefits of using TerraQuant laser are substantial and documented over 15 years, throughout over 30 countries. Usually these conditions manifested over long periods of time and so one should not expect to reverse such conditions over night. Keep with it, LASER LIGHT THERAPY WORKS!
