The Erchonia lasers have received FDA market clearance for several conditions. Receiving FDA market clearance means that a product has been shown through research to do what it claims to be able to do. As of today, Erchonia has been able to successful demonstrate that their lasers can decrease pain and inflammation for neck and shoulder injuries. Approval was received after double blind trials were able to provide substantial evidence to support that the lasers actually did what they said they could do. Additionally, the Erchonia Dermalaser has FDA clearance for the treatment of ACNE. The dermalaser does not burn tissue or cause any heating to occur, unlike other more invasive techniques. Lastly, and with much excitement, the Erchonia Lipolaser has FDA clearance for non-surgical liposuction (CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO AND RESEARCH ARTICLES). With MRI confirmation, Erchonia was able to demonstrate that fat cells would release stored fat into the extracellular spaces after 6 minutes of treatment with the lipolaser. The fat stays in a liquid state for 48 hours, and can then be flushed out through the lymphatic system. Their studies indicated that on average, the participants who received laser treatment for a 2 week period lost an average of 5-6 inches around their waist, hips, and thighs...without any changes in diet or exercise.

Sports Injuries- Lance Armstrong's chiropractor, Dr Jeff Spencer went with him on the Tour De France to give him laser treatments! His methods are so successful that Lance credits Dr Spencer as being "Dr Magic", because he and his team felt that he could quickly fix any injury that they had. Lance also credits Dr Spencer as being an important part of the success that he had winning a record 7 consecutive Tour de France races. I have taken seminars from Dr Spencer to learn the ground-breaking techniques that he utilizes to get injured athletes back to peak performance quickly. By utilizing Dr Spencer's techniques with the Erchonia lasers, we can quickly restore strength to injured, weakened muscles, detect hidden injuries by challenging the nervous system, and also promote faster healing of the injury. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Headaches Neck Pain Back Pain- Click HERE for official Erchonia Research Page Shoulder injuries- Click HERE for Official Erchonia Research Page Knee Injuries Foot injuries Broken bones (we can laser through the cast, and stimulate bone producing cells to repair the break about 30% faster) Post surgical pain For all of these injuries, the central component to utilizing the laser is restoring muscle strength and balance and improving neurological function. Most people can actually feel a difference in their muscle strength even after just the first visit. Even old, chronic injuries that have not responded to other treatments can get great results with the laser. In fact, in many cases, an older injury responds even faster than a fresh one.. The laser is also effective for the following injuries and conditions: Auto Injuries Work Injuries TMJ Dizziness Numbness and Tingling Sprains and Strains Sciatica Knee injuries Shoulder injuries Decreased Range of Motion Arthritis Muscle aches and pains Muscle tension Swollen joints Pain Scar tissue Burns Skin conditions Additionally, there are many other conditions that cold laser helps, but these above ones are the most common.
