The NEW Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Back Pain and Headaches…Erchonia PL5 Low Level Laser Technology
 Low level laser therapy is the hottest new breakthrough treatment for pain and many other symptoms. With FDA approval, a well-documented 90% patient improvement rate and NO documented side effects…low level laser therapy is sending shock waves through the medical community. Discover how Albert Einstein’s “crazy” predication in 1917 has led to what pain sufferers all over the world are praising as nothing less then a miracle. Dr. Kurt Meininger offers the latest cutting edge technology in the non-surgical treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, back pain and headaches. His commitment to offering the highest quality of care resulted in the addition of the FDA approved Erchonia PL5 Low Level Laser technology. Dr. Meininger is dedicated to improving the health and function of his patients. He does this by combining traditional chiropractic care with state-of-the-art technology to deliver an unprecedented level of service. His results speak for himself... In the past, a patient suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or Fibromyalgia usually was given pain medications, instructed to refrain from physical activities, referred for physical therapy, and when they weren’t progressing they were sent for surgery. Conservative chiropractic care proved very helpful in many cases, yet there have been some cases when surgery seemed to be the only other option… until now. Today, you don’t have to live with that pain anymore. Does the Erchonia PL5 Low Level Laser really work?The Erchonia low level laser has been proven effective in relieving the pain associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and degenerative disc disease. Since its FDA approval in 2001, over 2000 clinical studies have revealed an amazing 75.6% success rate in treating a number of pain related diseases and symptoms. How does it work?The effects of Low Level Laser Therapy (3LT™) are photochemical (cold), not thermal. Hot lasers in the medical world are used for surgical precision while cold lasers are used for healing precision. During treatment of the tissue with the laser beam, an interaction between cells and photons takes place---a photochemical reaction. Photons from the laser affect the tissue at the cellular level. The cold laser enters the tissue, alters cell membrane permeability, and at the cellular level is absorbed in the mitochondria of the cell creating physiological changes such as:
These physiological changes affect macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, mast cells, nerve conduction rates and the energy communication pathways throughout the fascial network (liquid crystalline living matrix). The energy transferred to the cell can increase its kinetic energy, and activate or deactivate enzymes or alter physical or chemical properties of main macromolecules. The mitochondria are the "Powerhouse" of the cells and make ATP which is needed for the life enhancement process of every cell. Research has shown that the cells of your body actually communicate with each other through coherent light (laser). With the Erchonia Medical laser there are specific pulsations (hertz) that can be programmed with the laser frequency allowing the practitioner to talk "cell talk" with the body. Specific pulsations have been shown to create different physiological responses of the cell. This is extremely important when working with a variety of injury and disease conditions to promote healing. The metabolism of injured and diseased tissue is decreased and the laser creates an increase in metabolism and cell communication immediately. The common response from doctors and patients, when this safe and effective modality is applied, is WOW! What are the advantages over other modes of therapy?Low Level Laser Therapy (3LT™) has been found to offer superior healing and pain relieving effects when compared to other electrotherapeutic modalities. The results seem equally untouchable for early stages of acute injuries, and for chronic problems. Low Level Laser Therapy (3LT™) can also be used for Acupuncture Point stimulation. Low Level Laser Therapy (3LT™) is a universal method of treating muscle, tendon, ligament, connective tissue, bone, neurological dysfunction or damage, and skin tissue with one simple piece of equipment. When the laser is applied with chiropractic care the best results are achieved to organize the nervous system and promote healing. Low Level Laser Therapy (3LT™) is a major advantage for athletes due to the neurological applications and the extremely fast results that can be achieved. Clinical uses of Low Level Laser Therapy (3LT™)There are a number of potential clinical uses for 3LT™ although those trained in chiropractic kinesiology have a significant advantage, over other health care disciplines. Understanding the body dynamics as a whole and the benefit of neurological organization the chiropractic kinesiologist is better equipped to administer Low Level Laser Therapy for the benefit of the patient. Lasers are also being used by those in chiropractic, medical, dental, acupuncture, podiatry, osteopathic, veterinary, physiotherapy, acupuncture practice and cosmetic applications. This therapy is very effective and safe for children. Do not let your children grow up with the same problems you have. The portability and diversity of battery powered diode laser systems allows treatment to be carried out in clinical and field locations. This opens up possibilities for the immediate and therefore more effective treatment of sporting and athletic injuries, such as sprains, stains, muscle tears, and inflammatory conditions. The 3LT™ laser is an attractive form of treatment for both human and animal athletes, especially those involved in professional sports, due to the prospect of shorter recovery and lay-off times. In the animal world it is especially popular in the treatment of horses and racing greyhounds. Low Level Laser Therapy (3LT™) is popularly used for:
