Officially, yes you should wear protective glasses at all times when working
with a laser (wink wink).

Hi Shelli,
Just ask for a power supply ($10) with the 10mw 635nm laser and a line
generating lens. The power supply comes with alligator clips which attach to
the laser diode wires. Not pretty, but it works.

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 ----- Original Message ----- From:

PMSubject: Re: CS>sciatic nerve pain -2 (low level laser therapy)
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
