Low Level Visible Red Laser Therapy Devices

Unlike the infrared devices that are only concerned about the heat that is delivered, these lasers are very complex in their actions because they are designed to stimulate the physiology of the body through a mechanism called biomodulation or photobiomodulation. These principles of light or energy medicine originated in the quantum physics of Einstein himself. He first introduced the concept of the LASER “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission Radiation”. He also stated that every living cell emits radiation called the “photon emission of living cells”, or what we commonly refer to as the aura.  Albert Einstein, in 1917, proposed all living and nonliving matter represented dynamic electromagnetic fields, which exist in an electromagnetic environment – the universe!  It took nearly 60 years for fellow physicists to begin to comprehend Einstein’s holistic worldview of quantum mechanics, and the relationship between matter, energy and health.

Due to the low power density and the properties of the wavelength used, the true low level therapy lasers are only capable of delivering a physiological dose of therapy. Some consider this limited because it is dependent on the ability of the patient to respond to care which creates less consistent and predictable outcomes. However, when you consider that this therapy actually gives the body a greater ability to respond you can see that it has expanded the limits of what can be accomplish.

One of the most important aspects of a physiological dose of therapy is that it is safe. It is safe no mater what the condition or pathology is, no matter what medications the patient is on, no matter what the patient may be allergic to, no matter what, a true LLLT unit will

“…DO NO HARM!”

One of the most profound physiological effects of low level therapeutic lasers is the effect of Neuroplasticity.  Neuroplasticity represents the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Neuroplasticity provides a way for nerve cells (neurons) in the brain to respond and compensate for injury and disease and adjust neuronal activity in response to a new situation or to changes in the environment.

Reorganizing the brain occurs by the mechanism of “axonal sprouting” where damaged axons grow new nerve endings to reconnect neurons whose links were injured or severed. Undamaged axons can also contribute new nerve endings and connect with other undamaged nerve cells, forming new neural pathways to accomplish a needed function. In order for neurons to reconnect or form new connections, the neurons need active stimulation. LLLT provides one of the most powerful stimulants for Neuroplasticity known today and it provides that stimulation in a safe, therapeutically correct, organized manner.

Neuroplasticity represents unlimited potential to retrain the brain after injury. However, neuroplasticity can also contribute to impairment. For example, deaf individuals may suffer from continual ringing in the ears (tinnitus), which results from faulty rewiring of the brain cells starved for sound. For beneficial neural connections to form, neurons must be stimulated correctly.

Neuroplasticity represents a new rapidly evolving approach to healing. Given any trauma, realizing all traumas involve the central nervous system recognizing the trauma (consciously or subconsciously), quick response with active neuronal stimulation, could theoretically maintain, repair, retain most CNS functions (learning, memory, speech, emotional distress, movement, balance etc.).In simpler terms, theoretically the proper immediate use of LLLT therapy post trauma, especially brain trauma, could eliminate much of the neurological disabilities common in head trauma today.

Even the simplest memory stimulates complex neural networks at several different sites in the brain. The content (what happened) and meaning (how it felt) of an event are laid down in separate parts of the brain. The goal of neuroplastic therapy is to connect these sites to resolve the damaged, disjointed, dysfunctional nervous systems.

“…The effect of LLLT on the brain is not magic, it’s malleable”

As with the infrared lasers, the wavelength and power density selected for an LLLT laser is very important, but for very different reasons. There are also a third and fourth component that is critically important for the LLLT laser use. One is the light source and the properties of the light itself and the other is frequency. It is not only important for the light to be pulsed but the frequency it is pulsed is specific to the therapeutic response desired.

Following is a close look at the four separate therapeutic properties of the Laz*RXunit.

The mechanism of action for 635nm light:

Biological light receptors in living tissue, termed chromophores, have peak activation at wavelengths between 600nm and 720nm. The most commonly used wavelengths to activate these chromophores are from 630nm to 635nm. This is because even though different chromophores have peak activation somewhere between 600nm and 720nm, each chromophore can still be activated within a wider wavelength spectrum. 635nm falls within the wavelength spectrum of all biological chromophores in man and animals. This means there is no need to utilize multiple colors of lasers to activate the different chromophores in the body. One wavelength – 635nm – has the potential to activate every biological photo-sensitive receptor in the body. For this reason, the Laz*RXSystem has selected only 635nm lasers for the therapy lasers.

There are three specific and unique methods the 635nm wavelength lasers of the Laz*RXmodulates tissues:

            1. Within the cell, the signal is transduced and amplified by a photon acceptor (chromophore).  When a chromophore first absorbs light, electronically excited states are stimulated, primary molecular processes are initiated which lead to measurable biological effects. These photobiological effects are mediated through a secondary biochemical reaction, photosignal transduction cascade, or intracellular signaling which amplifies the biological response.  

            2. The ionizing effects of LLLT allow photon acceptors to accept an electron. This turns on the oxidation-reduction cycle of the stimulated chromophores such as Cytochrome oxidase, hemoglobin, melanin, and serotonin.  Changing the re-dox state of the chromophore changes the biological activity of that chromophore e.g., hemoglobin changes its oxygen carrying capacity. This has the potential to triple the oxygen carrying capacity of blood instantly.

            3. When photon energy breaks a chemical bond, changes occur in the allosteric proteins in cell membranes (cell, mitochondrial, nuclear) and monovalent and divalent fluxes activate cell metabolism and intracellular enzymes directly.  Direct activation of cell membranes alters ion fluxes, particularly calcium, across that membrane.  Changes in intracellular calcium alter the concentrations of cyclic nucleotides, causing an increase in DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, which stimulate mitosis and cellular proliferation.

When any of the above occurs, the initial biological reaction rapidly catalyzes thousands of other chemicals similar to the calcium regulated, 2^nd messenger cAMP cascade. This biological amplification process produces systemic effects – which means that as you are treating a wound on the left hand, the wound on your right hand and the injury to your liver and kidney are also being treated equally as well. So while the infrared manufacturers brag about a 2 inch penetration of their energy, true therapeutic lasers are profoundly more advanced, producing systemic therapeutic results.

These three actions produce four separate and distinct functions that are clearly understood in the body.

1. Growth factor production occurs within cells and tissue in response to increased ATP and protein synthesis.  This initiates mitosis and cell proliferation by changing the cell, mitochondrial, or nuclear membranes permeability to monovalent (Na+, K+) and divalent (Ca++, Mg++) ions (Karu 1987, 1998, 2002).

2. Pain relief results from suppression of the nociceptor response mediated by increased serotonin and endorphin release (Sumano et al., 1987a, 1987b).

3. Immune-modulation and mitigation of the inflammatory response occur because the mononuclear phagocytic cells, mast cells, and leukocytes are stabilized preventing the release of harmful inflammatory mediators (Amano 1994).  In addition, vasodilatation and increased microcirculation allows a rapid return to homeostasis and promotes first intention healing (Sumano 1987a, 1987b; Fiszerman and Rozenbom 1995).

4.  Direct trigger point stimulation allows direct release of endorphins and other endogenous pain mediators such as serotonin, VIP, substance P, prostaglandins, etc. (Kaada, B and Eielson O, 1983, Kaada, Olsen and Eielson,1985).

The common effects of 635nm light:

For those research scientists that read this paper the above section is very clear, however, for the rest of us, The common effects are easier to understand.  

The above mechanisms of action produce three basic functions in the body. It provides pain relief. It reduces or manages inflammation around injuries thereby controlling pain, swelling, redness, and heat. Finally it stimulates the growth of new cells to improve healing time. One other factor that is not covered in this paper but has been well researched is that 635 nm laser light also inhibits the growth of almost all known infection causing bacteria.

Therefore 635nm light will control the pain and swelling related to acute and chronic pain such as:

- Shoulder pain                   - Carpal tunnel                 - Back pain

- Tennis elbow                    - Arthritic pain                  - Fibromyalgia

- Dental pain                       - Headaches                    - Stomach

Controlling pain also reduces the need for pain medicatons.

Because LLLT reduces pain, manages inflammation, reduces bacteria related to infection, and stimulates new human cell growth, it is ideal for Wound Management therapy including:

- Skin ulcers                                        - Diabetic ulcers        

- Wounds, deep and superficial                - Fractures       

- Bruises, deep and superficial                 - Open wounds 

- Burns, all types and levels                     - Skin abrasions

- Pre and Postoperative wound and surgical care

 

Based on the above, Low-Level Laser Therapy should also support a number of other conditions including:

- Osteochondriosis                           - Scoliosis
- Intervertebral disk                         - Post-traumatic pain
- Radiculitis                                    - Arthritis
- Arthrosis                                      - Contractures
- Calcaneal spurs                             - Myositis.
- Sunburn                                       - Tendonitis

- Tennis/golfer elbow                        - Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Migranes                                      - Tinnitus
- Ankle strain/sprain                         - Common cold

- Muscle cramps                              - Over exertion
- Allergies                                       - Brain Injury
- reorganization of collagen to reduce scar tissue

The mechanism of action for LASER:

There are different properties of light. Most light that we are exposed to is reflected off our bodies. This is a natural in vivo protection mechanism. If we absorbed all photon energy that struck our skin, we would explode in a few minutes of standing in the sun. So the first requirement is understanding how to achieve the proper penetration through the skin. This includes all the skin layers – not only our outer skin but the skin of the cell, the skin of the nucleus of the cell, the skin of the mitochondria and so on. All tissues have optical windows and guards to let only specific forms of light penetrate and activate the chromophores and other light sensitive properties of the tissue. This requires the properties that only LASERlight possesses. Collimated light is essential for penetrating the outer surface of the skin. Coherent light and polarized light is required to pass through the optical windows of different tissues. The monochromatic property of laser light is the ability to activate only the chromophores desired. Many assertions have been made claiming that LEDs – which do not have coherent, polarized, or collimated properties – work as well as LASER light does. If one reviews the scientific papers, one quickly will find that these studies were performed on tissue cells in vitro, or in a test tissue sample. When the test is run on living animals and people, in vivo, LED light is not nearly as effective as the LASER light source due the above mentioned properties of the LASER.

The different mechanisms of power density:

Power density or mW of power of the light source is every important. As identified earlier, the power density of the infrared radiation needs to be high to quickly produce the heat desired. However, in the low-level therapeutic lasers, heat is the enemy. Heating tissue is not conducive to healing. Chromophores are very sensitive to the power density. For example, the easiest way to understand the action of the chromophore is to think about your vision. The cones on the retina of the eye contain three different chromophores. Each is sensitive to different wavelengths of light, allowing us to see in colors. But it is not just the wavelength; it is also the power density of the light. If it is too dark, you cannot see because the power density is too low to activate the chromophore. However, if the light is too bright, it over stimulates the chromophore into a sedated state and you still can’t see. The chromophore has to be stimulated not only by the right wavelength but also with the correct power density. This is one more reason why a fully collimated laser light source is needed for LLLT. To get the correct penetration of the outer skin with very low power density, you must use a fully collimated laser light source.

The different mechanisms of frequency:

Frequency addresses the very fundamental properties of your life and the world we live in. Each atom, element, molecule, cell, organism, or substance has its own ideal electrical wavelength and resonance frequency of vibration that coordinates its activities (Lakovsky, 1970).  At the resonance frequency, energy is maximized and harmonious.  The further a substance deviates from its resonance frequency, the more dissonance and disease occurs (Pauling, Wilson 1963; Vithoulkas, 1980) 

The body itself uses frequency to alter its functions and control its physiology. Using brainwave entrainment (specific frequency stimulation), it is possible to coax the brainwaves to a certain frequency and achieve the mental state associated with that frequency. This is the basis of the much accepted Biofeedback modulation used to treat Post Traumatic Stress patients.

Brainwave Frequencies are frequencies associated with different mental states.  A familiar example is the five brain wave ranges recorded by the EEG;

Delta Range  0.5 to 4 Hz - associated with deep sleep.

Theta Range  4 to 8 Hz - associated with dreaming sleep and other mental states where the mind is wandering, daydreaming, or imaging.

Alpha Range  8 to 13 Hz – associated with a relaxed but awake state.

Beta Range 13 to 30 Hz – associated with the normal awake/aware state and speech.

Gamma Range 30 to 60 Hz -associated with higher mental activity including perception and consciousness. General anesthesia eliminates gamma waves.   

Just as the brain can be stimulated to change function by introducing and changing resonant frequencies, frequency stimulation can alter all functions of the body by altering the frequency of the tissue. When you consider that frequency pollution from EMFs, florescent lights, cell phones, all the other radio waves and telecommunication transmissions etc. are devastating to your health, frequency therapy becomes mandatory to just correct these pollutants in our environment.
