Fibromyalgia is a condition in which the brain processes pain in an abnormal way, resulting in chronic, widespread muscular-skeletal pain and chronic fatigue. This condition effects millions of Americans and has been poorly understood and under diagnosed, resulting in billions of dollars in cost to our health care system. In the past, treatments have been primarily with medications; often side effects can make the symptoms worse.
The Laser is the Patented ML830 which was the first "LOW LEVEL LASER" approved by the FDA in 2002 to treat pain and swelling. The Laser produces no heat to the tissue and causes vassal dilation in the Micro Capillary bed, the treatment is PAINLESS WITH NO SIDE EFFECTS. Bernard Filner M.D. is now reporting on treating over 90,000 Fibro Trigger Points using the ML830 Laser with a 90% success rate.
