MicroLight’s
ML830® Laser
(the brand we use) is a
biostimulator that helps
the body heal itself,
sending its photon
energy to injured tissue
which in turn creates a
series of chemical
reactions that
accelerate the body’s
natural healing
mechanisms. Microlight’s
photo-medicine, unlike
other types of laser
products on the market,
is the first FDA
low-level laser that was
cleared to help decrease
pain and inflammation,
help generate new and
healthy cells, improve
nerve function, increase
the speed, quality and
tensile strength of
tissue repair, and
improve blood
circulation to the
tissues, all for the
treatment of pain.
The cold laser is very
effective in speeding
the healing process of
damaged tissue, reducing
pain, muscle spasms and
inflammation from
whiplash injuries of the
neck and back.
