Steve,
I've been reading the posts about laser theray and infrared and am interested
in getting a laser. I work for a physcial therapist who uses laser therapy and
is very impressed with the results on things like carpal tunnel symptoms and in
regaining feeling in the feet for diabetes sufferers. I was looking at the site
you posted and am wondering if the power supply is listed separately somewhere?
I see laser units listed with power supplies but they are in the hundreds or
thousands of dollars. I'm hoping that's not what you were talking about.
Thanks.
Shelli

I have been getting significant relief from back and heel pain using LLLT
(low level laser therapy) with a 635nm 10mw laser diode. These used to be very
expensive but are now manufactured in China so you can get them with a power
supply for about $40. I also use a line generating lens on the laser so I can
cover larger areas at once. My brother is a chiropractor and gets consistently
good results using a 635 10mw line generating laser on sciatica and heel
problems as well as almost every type of musculoskeletal problem you can think
of. There is a certain manufacturer who sells a unit with this wavelength of
line generating laser for about $10,000. It has programmable frequencies and a
battery pack which all adds to the expense. LEDs can work well too for surface
issues but take a bit longer in my opinion and don't penetrate as well. The
coherent collimated light from the laser penetrates deep into the tissue and
speeds up recovery on many levels. I believe LLLT is an awesome healing tool.
Be careful with your eyes if you decide to get one. You can get them here:
http://mfgcn.com/_wsn/page2.html make sure to ask for a power supply (3V AC/DC
500ma) and a line generating lens. Here is a library full of info on laser
therapy/clinical results for many ailments
