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.
The use of monochromatic low intensity infrared laser and LED diodes has been promoted in several countries for many years as an effective treatment for arthritis, soft tissue injuries and pain. Infrared Diode Therapy has been used as a monochromatic device since around 1960. It was not until 1998 that PAIN-X-2000 - Polychromatic Infrared Diode Therapy was developed and first used in the United States.
   It is becoming increasingly rare to find a physiotherapy department or clinic without access to this modality. There still seems to be some skepticism regarding this type of therapy, even though PAIN-X-2000 Polychromatic Devices are being used by Medical Doctors, Nurses, Veterinarians, Equine Therapists, Chiropractors, Anesthesiologists, Dentists, Massage Therapists, Physical Therapist, and many more. More and more publications within the medical and scientific community attest to the clinical usefulness of these devices and their many biological effects upon the cells.
Many conditions of pain and inflammation arise in humans and animals due to the stress of training and performance. Often these conditions require the help of you Medical Doctor or Veterinarian. However, traditional Medical therapies may need adjunctive therapies to provide for the long term resolution of the problem. It has been found the PAIN-X-2000 can provide a complete and lasting resolution of many human and equine problems when it is coupled with medical or veterinary diagnosis.
   Medical Doctors, Veterinarians, Equine Therapists, Horse Owners, and etc. are beginning to realize the benefits of this non-invasive tool. Many are using the PAIN-X-2000 for the resolution of sports related and accidental injuries in horses and human, and as well as many other uses.
Studies show when light therapy breaks through blocked energy, and the light enters and stimulates the cells as photons. The photons are absorbed by the photoreceptors within the cell. Photons strike the damaged tissue including skin, blood, muscle, and bone, and create a cellular response which reduces pain and jump-starts the healing process. Originally developed for equine therapy, PAIN-X-2000™ products have been used successfully to treat all types of chronic pain for all types of animals including humans. The several different wavelengths used in the PAIN-X-2000™ are very effective at penetrating living tissue without any harmful side effects.
   Principles of phototherapy were established at the end of the nineteenth century by NR Fineness, a Nobel Prize winner, for application of light treatment of psoriases, kemicterus, and as photodynamic therapy (POT) in the treatment of cancer. Phototherapy was advanced with introduction of laser treatment, initially in surgery. The development of the infrared (830 nm) gallium-aluminum-arsenide and the red (633nm) helium-neon low power laser, introduced phototherapy in would healing and analgesia. Many investigators have described successful pain treatment in a variety of diseases.

What is Infrared Therapy?
Infrared Therapy Definition

    Light therapy has been shown in over 40 years of independent research worldwide to deliver powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissues and organisms. Both visible and infrared light 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.
Depth of penetration is defined as the depth at which 60% of the light is absorbed by the tissue, while 40% of the light will continue to be absorbed in a manner that is less fully understood. Treating points with light can have a dramatic effect on remote and internal areas of the body through the stimulation of nerves, acupuncture and trigger points that perform function not unlike transmission cables.
The technology is now becoming accepted and widely used in human medicine as well. Light therapy stimulates the natural healing power in the cells of the body. This tool uses the energy of light, called photon energy, to stimulate the activity of certain cell components. By using photo energy, you have a simple, effective, non-pharmacological medical alternative. Conservative management of acute and chronic injuries and postoperative wounds has come to include the use of photo energy because it is quickly effective, cost effective, and easy to administer.
Light is energy that moves in a wave pattern. Light is also characterized by its wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. PAIN-X-2000 also used red, orange, yellow, green, and blue which lie in the visible spectrum. These therapeutic colors of photo energy lie between the infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths. This combination of infrared and visible light wavelengths is believed therapeutic. There are components in the tissue and blood that absorbs these wavelengths and activate normal cell activity that may have been disrupted by injury or sickness. The reason for this increased cell activity is the photon. The photon is the energy portion of the light wave. For this reason we often refer to this therapy as PHOTON THERAPY.
Infrared therapy utilizes light energy in the invisible range of light. Infrared rays are just beyond the visible red range of light in the spectrum, thus we cannot see the Infrared light emitted from the treatment unit. Virtually all light has some penetration properties; however, it is often absorbed by the outermost skin layers. Traditional thermal (hot) laser light, on the other hand, can penetrate but often destroys tissue. Since damaged cells benefit from light, the objective was to develop a non-thermal and nondestructive deep tissue delivery vehicle - hence PAIN-X-2000.
Once delivered, the light energy promotes the process of photobiostimulation. The positive effect of photobiostimulation on animal cells is analogous to photosynthesis in plant cells, whereby a chain of chemical reactions are set in motion. In human tissue the resulting photochemical reaction produces an increase in the cellular metabolism rate which expedites cell repair and the stimulation of the immune, lymphatic and vascular systems. The net result, observed in clinical trials to date, is the apparent reduction in pain, inflammation, edema and an overall reduction in healing time.

Why Use LEDS?

   PAIN-X-2000 uses LEDs because 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. Lasers also only use red or infrared light as were PAIN-X-2000 uses multiple colors of light for a more versatile product.

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. PAIN-X light-emitting diodes are less expensive and tiny, by comparison. They are also extremely safe.

PAIN-X-2000™ uses non-coherent light which is produced by the LEDs. 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".
In his paper, Laser Therapy: Infrared Photo Energy May Reduce Neuropathic Pain, by Thomas J. Burke, PhD, he states that diabetic neuropathy is a common health problem today which often poses a variety of clinical challenges. Dr. Thomas J. Burke reports on the results of a study utilizing phototherapy (non-coherent light therapy) on patients with neuropathies. There is a rapidly increasing body of evidence that is demonstrating the clinical value of using non laser light therapy for a wide variety of painful conditions..

   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."                                                   Back to top

Facts about Wavelengths/frequencies/colors

    The 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.) Although both visible and infrared wavelengths penetrate the tissue to different depths and affect the tissues differently, their therapeutic effects are similar.

   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 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
Infrared - 950 nm
Red - 660 nm
Yellow - 590 nm
Orange - 612 nm
Green - 574 nm
Blue - 465 nm

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.
    The green diodes are absorbed by the Bio-Electro-Magnetic Energy Field (E-Field) which surrounds the body. It is here that the stress and strain build up and develop into "weak spots." If these spots are not eliminated from the E-Field, eventually under hard work or performance pressure they can become problem areas. Green is also considered a master color and has reported usefulness as an anti-inflammatory as well as for painful joints and allergies.
    The orange light is considered a rejuvenating color. It can help with muscle cramps and boosts energy in the lungs and stomach.
    The yellow lights can be great stimulants for the sensory and motor nervous system, as well as toning muscles. It helps to increase your energy state. It, reportedly, helps relieve arthritis pain and improves the lymphatic system.
    The blue lights are believed to be contractors and restrictors.They have reportedly helped with burns, headaches, fever, etc., as well as provided a calming and relaxing effect. The blue lights are available in the switchable model and FDA has not approved them in USA for human use. Sold currently for animals.

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.

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.
Wavelength = Measured in Nanometers, determines the color of the LED.
Pulsing = The turning off and on of an LED at various rates.
Frequencies = Our competitors word for rate of pulsing, or turning off and on LED's

   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:
   Let's say you were treating with a 10 LED array and the lights were not pulsed (different frequencies of operation) and it took 5 minutes to perform the treatment.If you used a competitors unit that had the same 10 LED array and it was pulsed (Frequency of operation changed) to a 50% duty cycle. It would then take 10 minutes or twice as long to deliver the same amount of energy for the treatment! The idea behind pulsing is to save battery power on portable units. Since it takes longer to complete the treatment you are really not saving battery power. Our units use continuous wave diodes. We have found that these provide us with outstanding results.

   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 following are definitions of commonly used terms used in connection with the use of light therapy devices.
1. Visible Light: light that is within the visible spectrum, 400nm (violet) to 700nm (red)
2. Infrared Light: light in the invisible spectrum below red, from 700nm to 2,000nm
3. Polychromatic: lights that are more than one color or wavelength of light
4. Monochromatic: light that is of one color, or one wavelength
5. Nanometer (nm): a unit of measure of wavelength of light (one billionth of a meter)
6. Nanosecond: one billionth of a second
7. Joule (J): unit used to measure the energy delivered
8. Watts :( w) and Milliwatt (mw): units used to measure the power capability. Milliwatt is 1/1000th of a watt.
9. Peak power output: the maximum output of power, measured in milliwatts and watts
10. Average power: amount of power actually delivered in a given time                                                                 

Is it safe?

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.                                                                                                                                     Back to top
