Indications for Low Level Laser
- Acupuncture…. Non Invasive.
Some authorities find it more effective than needles and there is no
destruction injury to cells

- OA /RA 60 /40 pain reduction (Cortisone increase with acu) Usually an
increase in strength and mobility
- Acceleration of wound healing (lacerations / contusions).
- Fractures… Obviously NOT through Plaster.
- Calcium deposits e.g. hyperalgic calcareous tendonitis
- Oedema reduction following trauma
- Keloid scar tissue. Decubiti. (Glad Wrap)

NO cardiac RISK WITH ANY OF OUR DEVICES NO cardiac RISK WITH
