Chronic pain is a major issue in the U.S.—it affects more people than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. Every year, about half of all working Americans say they experience back pain, making it one of the top reasons people miss work. In fact, Americans spend up to $50 billion a year trying to find relief from back pain.

The Erchonia FX 635 laser was recently been approved for use by the FDA, and is a game-changer in how we manage pain—especially as an alternative to opioids. This laser has been tested in multiple clinical trials and has been proven to help reduce chronic lower back pain, heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis, and most recently, overall body pain.

What makes the FX 635 different from other lasers is that it’s been FDA cleared for use and has shown to work by stimulating cells in the body in a safe, painless way. It offers a non-invasive treatment option that helps relieve pain and inflammation without the need for surgery, addictive pain medications, or drugs like NSAIDs that can have serious side effects.

FAQs

What is laser and how can it help me?

Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulating Emission Radiation. A laser is a focused beam of light. Laser focuses rays of light energy (photons) of certain wave lengths into affected area.  Photon receptors in the cell walls absorb this energy, much like a solar battery. In turn, the cells use this energy to kick start greater cell production and function. This results in the reproduction of healthier cells and, in turn, faster protein synthesis for repair and rebuilding. In short, it helps the body heal faster by giving the cells more power to repair.

When can I receive the treatment?

Anytime the office is open! The treatment lasts 10-20 minutes and is painless. Manufacturer recommendations are to receive two or three treatments per week during a recovery period.

Will it burn?

No, the Erchonia laser is a cold laser, which means it operates at a low wattage. Cold lasers differ greatly from hot lasers: Hot lasers can be painful, causing burning, tissue damage, and tissue destruction. Cold lasers do the exact opposite in stimulating cellular bio-modulation that results in cell repair, power, and proliferation.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of using the Erchonia Laser is very reasonable. Please feel free to contact our office any time for information about pricing,

How long will it take to feel better?

As a general rule, it may take a few times of use before significant change is noticed.
