about green violet cold laser therapy

green violet laser therapy to help with pain and inflammation new technology

The GVL was shown to be the most effective wavelength combination to increase range of motion, reduce inflammation, and decrease pain in a single session. 


This is currently the first and only green and violet laser FDA cleared for pain and inflammation. 


Unique to the green wavelength is the ability to affect Complex 3 in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC). No other wavelength can impact this complex, and it is critical for moving to Complex 4 to produce ATP. The violet wavelength affects Complex 1 and 2 of the ETC. By combining these green and violet lasers into one treatment modality, patients receive optimal results.

What are the advantages over other modes of therapy?

The effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy are photochemical (cold), not thermal. Hot lasers in the medical world are used for surgical precision while cold lasers are used for healing precision. During treatment of the tissue with the 635 nm laser, an interaction between cells and photons takes place---a photochemical reaction. Photons from the laser affect the tissue at the cellular level. The cold laser enters the tissue, alters cell membrane permeability, and at the cellular level is absorbed in the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the “Powerhouse” of the cells and make ATP, which is needed for the life enhancement process of every cell, which facilitates: 

  • Rapid cell growth: accelerates cellular reproduction and growth. 
  • Faster wound healing: stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue.
  • Increased metabolic activity: helps the body increase output of specific enzymes; induces oxygen to blood cells and  creates a more effective immune response. 
  • Reduced fibrous tissue formation: reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns, or following surgery. 
  • Anti-inflammatory action: reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints to give improved joint mobility. 
  • Increased vascular activity: stimulates lymph and blood circulation, to allow the affected tissue to have the best possible circulation. 
  • Stimulated nerve function: speed the process of nerve cell re-connection to bring numb areas back to life. Laser also increases the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle action.

What are the advantages over other modes of therapy?

The Green Violet Laser has been found to offer superior healing and pain-relieving effects when compared to other electrotherapeutic modalities. The results seem equally untouchable for early stages of acute injuries, and for chronic problems. The Green Violet Laser can also be used for acupuncture point stimulation.  


Erchonia Green Violet Low Level Laser Therapy is a universal method of treating muscle, tendon, ligament, connective tissue, bone, neurological dysfunction or damage, and skin tissue with one simple piece of equipment. When the laser is applied with chiropractic care the best results are achieved to organize the nervous system and promote healing. Green Violet laser therapy is a major advantage for athletes due to the neurological applications and the extremely fast results that can be achieved.  


These physiological changes affect macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, mast cells, bradykinin, nerve conduction rates and the energy communication pathways throughout the fascial network (liquid crystalline living matrix). The energy transferred to the cell can increase its kinetic energy and activate or deactivate enzymes or alter physical or chemical properties of macromolecules. 


Research has shown that the cells of your body actually communicate with each other through coherent light (laser). With the Erchonia Medical laser there are specific pulsations (hertz) that can be programmed with the laser frequency allowing the practitioner to talk “cell talk” with the body. Specific pulsations have been shown to create different physiological responses of the cell. This is extremely important when working with a variety of injury and disease conditions to promote healing. The metabolism of injured and diseased tissue is decreased, and the laser creates an increase in metabolism and cell communication immediately. The common response from doctors and patients, when this safe and effective modality is applied, is WOW!

testimonials

chronic shoulder pain

This patient had shoulder pain for over 4 years with soreness, numbness and tingling down the arm. She had trouble working, cooking, enjoying the outdoors, sleeping, and more due to the pain and numbness. After 12 treatments she is now pain free, has no numbness, and is enjoying her days more! She has noticed increased energy, better sleep, and she’s able to do activities without thinking of her previous pain! 

acne

The green violet laser is FDA approved, after many clinical studies, to be both a safe and effective treatment and management of acne. The bacteria in acne responds to phototherapy and the photochemical reaction of the laser leads to bacterial destruction. Listen to Sophie’s experience using the GVL therapy for acne! In 3 different studies they have found that in 8 treatments at just 2 treatments per week, there was an overall 80% significant reduction of inflammatory lesions! 

Shoulder impingement

Jason was dealing with severe shoulder impingement for 6 months. He had tried chiropractic care, acupuncture, myofascial release, and stretching but was no longer seeing progress with the shoulder. After just one treatment of the GVL Laser, Jason was able to return to normal daily activities such as dressing himself, lifting his arms over his head with no restrictions, and going to the gym.
