Dear Dr. Khalili,
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful treatment you gave me at the seminar in Tiburon. I have been a chiropractor for 25 years and my shoulder has taken a lot of abuse. In addition to all that micro-trauma, six years ago I suffered a complete shoulder dislocation as a result of a martial arts injury. Since that time, I have had pain, stiffness and a limited range of motion. I own and have used 3 different therapeutic lasers on my shoulder for quite some time. Additionally, I also had treatment with a K-laser for about 10 treatments with little or no improvement. None of them have given me any significant relief. I have also undergone several chiropractic and acupuncture treatments. After one treatment with your AVI 7500 Laser, I had complete range of motion for the first time since the injury. I was pain free for almost 2 weeks and my range of motion is still about 85% of normal. It is a miraculous result! I have thought about coming down for a few days to get more treatment. I would recommend this laser to anyone serious about treating sports injuries, chronic pain or acute trauma.
Thank you for giving me back so much of my function.
Sincerely,
Gabrielle Ridgeway, D.C. |
LASER COMPARISON
In order to obtain the BEST LASER AVAILABLE to enhance your healing arsenal, you must DISCOVER which laser has the BEST ability to PENETRATE DEEP for the purposes of saturating involved tissues with therapeutic energy.
Laser physics state that the ONLY way to evaluate energy penetration is to find the output of the single most powerful infrared diode of a laser that can emit continuous energy. Once this information is determined, compare that power output to other lasers on the market.
BE CAREFUL...........laser companies confuse doctors by combining multiple weaker cheaper diodes to form a FALSE HIGH POWER output. They will even demonstrate this FALSE HIGH POWER on a power meter. REMEMBER: power meters can't isolate the single most powerful diode and instead give total output of combined cheaper weaker diodes (for example-if a power meter measured 10,000 milliwatts it could mean that the laser had 10 diodes of 1,000 milliwatts). Obviously, this might mislead doctors to think they are getting a bargain value when in fact they are really buying the penetration factor of ONLY a 1000 milliwatt laser. Having multiple weaker diodes only increases the laser's surface area of treatment.
LATELY, many laser companies are touting multiple wavelengths. Again, this just translates into multiple weaker diodes that dilute laser penetration. REMEMBER: laser physics stipulate that a diode can only have ONE wavelength.
WATCH OUT........many low power laser companies claim they are getting results in deeper tissues. They are ONLY able to occasionally accomplish this BECAUSE of systemic laser stimulation. This means the laser is ONLY stimulating acupuncture points, meridians, and trigger points to get a systemic healing response. What they DON'T tell you is that a $45.00 laser pointer from Office Depot has the ABILITY to stimulate these systemic healing points.
The ONLY way to get consistent clinical results is with DIRECT STIMULATION. This means that laser energy is directly getting into the involved tissues. Doctors are starting to realize this and are replacing their low power cold lasers with high power lasers. A similar analogy exists with the computer industry. In today's world of keeping up with increasing business demands, no one goes out and buys a computer with last years technology. Well, the same goes for the amount of power needed to efficiently saturate hard to reach biological tissues.
Due to the high absorption of the skin (water, melanin, hemoglobin), it is estimated that 60% of all laser energy is lost at this level. This is why it is CRUCIAL to have a powerful single diode output to sufficiently break through the skin barrier. With a 7500 milliwatt continuous infrared energy output, the AVI-7500 is 50-1000% STRONGER than any other laser on the market. |
