Low Level Laser Treatment of Neuromuscular Pain Disorders

www.scalarwavelasers.com www.scalarwavelasers.com What is LLLT? Low level LASER Therapy (LLLT), Cold Lasers and Non thermal Lasers are synonymous terminologies for appliances which have a specified wavelength of 600 to 1000nm and 5-500milliwatts with the use of red beam or close to Infrared laser. It is predominantly used for the treatment of carpel tunnel syndrome and other muscular and skeletal disorders like swelling and aching of mandibular joints and acute sciatic pangs. This laser when used at the problem area of the body, penetrates deep without any physical sensation, without heating or tanning the body, whereby the inherent photons in the laser beam induce the photochemical action in the body cells and tissues. The Low level LASER Therapy acts in same fashion as the photosynthesis of the plants. The body is compared to the plant while the LASER beam is compared to the sunlight. The photons of the laser radiation travel in a coherent path with polarization whereby they give a concentrated intensified radiation in the affected part of the body. The beam of light which traverses the skin without causing any burn heals the marred cells and enzymes of the body stimulating their growth and accentuating the recovery process. Researches have confirmed the hypothesis that Low level LASER Therapy improves cellular reconstruction, builds up the body's resistance stimulating lymphatic, vascular, and circulatory systems. This energy is being used often in acupuncture and ...

Pt 1: “Level 2″ First Aid Kit Review by Nutnfancy

Part 1 of 5 //////////////////// My experiences in the outdoors led me to my Level 2 First Aid Kit concept. More capable in depth and breadth than my also-reviewed "Level 1" First Aid Kit, my Level 2 kit will weigh more and be bulkier but can better handle medium medical emergencies. The kit shown focuses on capabilities in ROL (Rule of Law) situations where the priority is to stabilize the patient and effect transport to better facilities and care (when necessary). In group or vehicular outings, the increased size and weight of a typical Level 2 is more do-able. Similar to the Level 1, this kit still has an emphasis on stemming blood loss, disinfecting, pain stoppage, wound dressing, and bandage exchange. Size and weight are still players in this 5 lb kit and I don't achieve the capabilities of Level 3 or Paramedic-level lifesaving kit. As I say in the vid, that type of kit requires medical training and its use comes with extra liability and concerns as a first responder. However I have the Level 2 kit shown has handled my encountered medical situations adequately and absolutely blows away any other kits I've encountered along this POU. Components of the kit and the foundational "Nutnfancy" philosophies involved are explained. An annotated list of my typical Level 2 Kit may be forthcoming (another project!). Compared to even a quality first aid kit, like ones from Adventure Medical Kits this version has more depth ie multiples of common use items which can better handle ...
