What
is Infrared Light Therapy? Infrared
Light therapy or Phototherapy, is the treatment of a disorder by exposure
to specific wavelengths of light using light-emitting diodes(LEDs), controlled
with various devices. The light is administered for a prescribed amount
of time.Light therapy has been shown in over 40 years of independent research
worldwide to deliver powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissues and
organisms. In the same way that plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight
into plant tissue, light emitting diodes(LEDs)
can trigger natural intracellular photobiochemical reactions in our bodies.
Plants must have the sunlight to grow. Our cells benefit from light therapy.
Both
visible wavelengths(Red, Green, Yellow, Orange, Blue),and invisible to
human eye wavelengths (infrared) have been shown to effect at least 24
different positive changes at a cellular level. Visible light penetrates
tissue to a depth of about 8-10 mm. It is very beneficial in treating
problems close to the surface such as wounds, cuts, scars, trigger and
acupuncture points and is particularly effective in treating infections.
Infrared light (904nm) penetrates to a depth of about 30-40mm which makes
it more effective for bones, joints, deep muscle, etc. "We've
already seen how using LEDs can improve a bone-marrow transplant patient's
quality of life," said Dr. Harry Whelan, professor of neurology,
pediatrics and hyperbaric medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
"These trials will hopefully help us take the next steps to provide
this as a standard of care for this ailment." "It may seem strange to some people because it is very much a change in the whole paradigm of medicine, which has been pretty much poisons and knives up until this point. The use of natural energy at an intensity that is brighter than the sun, but still nonetheless near infrared light at wavelengths that are helpful and not harmful, to enhance the cells' natural biochemistry truly has a lot of potential in the medical arena," says Whelan. PAIN-X 2000 Overview Photo-stimulation
was first discovered in the 1960s when European scientists began to use
light beams of specific wavelengths and frequencies to treat damaged cell
tissues. Today, that technology has been harnessed into portable,light-emitting-diode
(LED), hand-held
units. PAIN-X-2000 uses LEDs to emit light of a narrow band of frequencies.
LEDs are provided with different wavelengths or color characteristics. Studies
have proven that Infrared Light aids:
Fighting Mucositis with LED Lights From 27 ABC WKNOWTV.com Updated: June 12, 2008 04:32 AM CDT Four
year old Delaney (duh lane ee) Dikeman (dike min) is recovering from severe
aplastic (ay plastic) anemia. "They did a blood test and all of her
cell counts were low." Delaney needed a bone marrow transplant from
her baby sister. It required the destruction of delaney's immune system
using chemo, leaving her susceptible to severe mouth sores. "Mucositis
is one of the most painful side effects of cancer treatment and it essentially
occurs in all patients with bone marrow transplant regimens to a fairly
severe extent." Stroke: Lampl, Y., et al. (2007). Infrared Laser Therapy for Ischemic Stroke: A new Treatment Strategy. Results of the NeuroThera Effectiveness and Safety Trial-1 (NEST-1). Stroke 38(6), pp.1843-1849. Back to top Why Use LEDS? Our
Infrared Therapy products use LEDs instead of Lasers. Lasers have a focused
beam (as used for eye surgery) that produces a narrow bandwidth of radiation
that generates the light. The laser light is called "coherent"
because the light waves are "in step" with each other, which
is called coherence. Picture the laser lights as a single column
penetrating to a specific point within the target area. The laser actually delivers substantially less energy per unit of time because of the duty cycle of the LED. The LED's duty cycle is 2.5 million times longer than a laser of comparable wavelength. Lasers are also expensive to produce. Because lasers were used in early research, we see names such as low level laser, infrared laser, cold laser, low level light laser, and low power laser where we read about photon therapy. The term laser therapy is not all together appropriate for the photon therapy used today. Remember what is important is the type of energy produced which creates the biological effect. Bear in mind it is the interaction of light photons and molecules within the cell that creates cellular activity. LED's will penetrate just as deep as a laser. Once the laser enters the skin it is no longer a columated beam of light so it does the same as the LED's except the LED's have a wider viewing angle and cover a larger area than a single laser beam. Most lasers produce a brilliant visible red light. The can be large and expensive. Most popular tools available today do not require this type of brilliant light emitting equipment, but use semi-conductor diodes. Our light-emitting diodes are less expensive and tiny, by comparison. They are also extremely safe. Many
proponents of lasers say that light must be coherent. While this may be
a controversial question to some, remember living tissue has its own coherency
factor. This coherency factor is much higher than that of the light therapy.
We believe this cancels the coherency factor of the incoming light. This
light then becomes scattered. If the coherency is lost when it passes
through the first layer of tissue, then the distinctive tissue such as
the nerves, muscles, blood, and or connective tissues absorb light which
are non-coherent. Basically the tissue at this point does not know if
the light was emitted from a coherent or incoherent source. To quote David
Olszewski from the book Light Years Ahead "LED's are increasingly
replacing cold lasers, as they demonstrate comparable effectiveness without
the laser's side effects. There is concern with the use of even soft lasers
in terms of potential harm around negative side effects. They can be harmful
if overused or if they come in contact with the eyes." He also is
stated as follows, "LEDs give a larger light dispersion beam and
allow a greater margin of error in locating and activating the acupuncture
point". The studies of LED therapy by NASA states: "Lasers, however, have some inherent characteristics that make their use in a clinical setting problematic, such as limitations in wavelength capabilities and beam width. The combined wavelengths of light optimal for wound healing cannot be efficiently produced, and the size of wounds that may be treated by lasers is limited. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) offer an effective alternative to lasers. These diodes can be made to produce multiple wavelengths, and can be arranged in large, flat arrays allowing treatment of large wounds. Potential benefits to NASA, military, and civilian populations, include treatment of serious burns, crush injuries, non-healing fractures, muscle and bone atrophy, traumatic ischemic wounds, radiation tissue damage, compromised skin grafts, and tissue regeneration." LASER
LIGHT VS LIGHT EMITTING DIODES (LED) Facts about Wavelengths/frequencies/colorsThe different types of tissue and cell types in the body all have their own particular light absorption values and characteristics. These tissue and cells will only absorb light at specific wavelengths. This is one of the reasons that PAIN-X-2000 used the Patented Polychromatic Process (using more than one color; this can also mean that it contains radiation of more than one wavelength.) Superluminous LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are safe concentrated light sources used to produce the specific wavelengths of light that provide therapeutic benefits of light therapy without adverse side effects. There is great information about LEDs at Wikipedia. The different wavelengths have shown different results in studies. This is why we have combined 5 basic wavelengths in our units, with the option of 6 wavelengths. The PAIN-X-2000 is the only device that has the capability of switching from one wavelength to another(can switch to blue) due to our patent. By combining these it may give a very beneficial tool in the treatment of all types of injuries and problems. Not only does the PAIN-X-2000 outperform the other brands and cost much less per milliwatt, it also utilizes several wavelengths of light for treatment of several types of problems. Wavelengths The diverse tissue and cell types in the body all have their own unique light absorption characteristics; that is, they will only absorb light at specific wavelengths and not at others. For example, skin layers, because of their high blood and water content, absorb red light very readily, while calcium and phosphorus absorb light of a different wavelength. WAVELENGTH
OF CELL TISSUE Why
do we use different wavelengths/colors? The different wavelengths have shown different result in studies. This is why we have combined several basic wavelengths in our units. By combining these it give you a very beneficial tool in the treatment of all types of injuries and problems. We use LED's which are non-coherent, because they are cheaper than Laser Diodes and more effective. Laser's can be very dangerous when not used properly or by properly trained people. The PAIN-X-2000 is completely safe to use. Some laser's claim that for deep muscular/skeletal problems you need at least 100mW. The PAIN-X-2000 provides well over this amount. This type of therapy has a success rate of over 90%. The energy given off by the hand held portable unit is absorbed into the body. You may or may not feel a warming effect during your treatment Because
of the green lights and the frequencies of the red and infrared lights,
and in some models also orange and yellow, when you place it on a sore
spot, you or your animal may feel a sort of tingling sensation just as
you leg waking up from being asleep. The blood flow is actually increasing. The
red and infrared diodes are absorbed
by the skin, muscles, tissues, bone as well as working at the physical
cellular level. Visible red light, at wavelengths from 630 to 700 nm,
is very beneficial in treating problems close to the surface such as wounds,
cuts, scars, trigger and acupuncture points, and is particularly effective
in treating infections. Infrared light (800 to 1000nm) penetrates deeper
which makes it more effective for treating organs and provide relief for
ailments of bones, joints, deep muscle tissue.Although both red and infrared
wavelengths penetrate to different depths and affect tissues differently,
the therapeutic effects are similar. There are many other colors that are used in color therapy, however, we feel at this time the combination we have developed are appropriate for general use.The "warm colors" are of positive polarity and the "cool" colors are of the negative polarity. Please be reminded
that Emerson WorldWide products are not intended to diagnose, cure
or prevent any disease. Why does the PAIN-X-2000 have such a high power rating than other brands? High
average power is required to get the penetration and to get the job done
fast. The several different wavelengths used in the PAIN-X-2000
are very effective at penetrating living tissue without any harmful side
effects.In order
to understand the following information you will need to know the following
terms and what they really mean. Some companies advertise they are selling 7 frequencies of light, when in fact they only have 2 or 3 wavelengths of light, and are pulsing them 7 different ways. (The pulsing of light only means that the lights are turned off and on at various rates.) A LED is on 100% of the time so if you pulse the LED it may be off even more than it is on. The LED's in the PAIN-X-2000 are on 100% of the time. This helps explain why some of our competitors' products take longer to treat the patient. Example: Beware
of sellers who state that their LEDs produce 100 mw for each diode! In
order to produce an output that high, the unit would have to have a couple
of thousand LEDs. As a customer, you should ask them for their testing
results. PAIN-X output was tested and calculated by a professional testing
company, Martech Optoelectronics, using a Photo Research model PR-650
and Optronic Labs Model OL-730 LED measuring equipment capable of measuring
the actual Mw output of our specific LED's. The PAIN-X-2000 is completely safe to use. So safe, in fact, that the FDA has given the PAIN-X-2000 clearance for human infrared therapy. There are no known side effects to this treatment. Patients who are pregnant or who might be pregnant, and patients with active malignancy (cancer) should avoid this therapy. Read the studies of LED therapy by NASA. "Long term space flight, with its many inherent risks, also raises the possibility of astronauts being injured performing their required tasks. The fact that the normal healing process is negatively affected by microgravity requires novel approaches to improve wound healing and tissue growth in space. NASA LED arrays have already flown on Space Shuttle missions for studies of plant growth and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared human trials."
