Back pain and osteoarthritis are “leading causes of disability worldwide.”[1]  So it is surprising to learn that doctors today are prescribing antidepressants to alleviate the pain associated with these conditions, despite the findings that there are very negative side effects to these drugs including dependence and withdrawal, not to mention the fact that the patients are not actually depressed.

Everyone at some time in their life has suffered from the throbbing, aching, and annoying pain of a headache.

The result is significantly better oxygenation, promoting pain relief and faster recovery of damaged cel

We created this ebook to provide information about superpulsed lasers. The first laser that can be classified as superpulsed was cleared by the FDA in the US in 2004. The technology is not as well known as continuous wave pulsed lasers. However, the deep penetration and minimal thermal effect of superpulsed lasers are advantageous compared to conventional continuous wave pulsed lasers.

Many practitioners think about lasers as therapy for various conditions like Fasciitis, Tendonitis, Arthritis, pain and inflammation. Diode lasers are very versatile. Swapping handpieces or adding on attachments to the handpiece allows for increased uses including wounds, ulcers, warts, dermatological conditions like Psoriasis as well as venous insufficiency and fungal nails.
