NEUROMUSCULAR SKELETAL CONDITIONS

                                             Eliminating PAIN AND INFLAMMATION




Neuromuscular skeletal conditions are common in all of us. We can all experience sprains, strains and pain
that just won’t go away resulting from repetitive strains in our work place or from trauma in our everyday lives.
Pain and inflammation are things we’ve grown to accept as something we probably will just have to live with.
Medical practitioners across North America have discovered a modern medical technology that heals injuries
safely and effectively on a cellular level. This medical technology is the Theralase line of therapeutic medical
laser systems.

The Theralase superpulsed laser system can penetrate up to 4 inches into tissue, to promote cellular regeneration
at the source of injury. Laser energy helps to repair damaged cells by accelerating the body’s natural healing
mechanisms. Depending on the severity of the injury, your patient can return to an active lifestyle pain-free
within a few weeks versus months or years of life altering pain.

Dual wavelength TECHNOLOGY
Theralase combines 660 nm visible red and 905 nm near infrared superpulsed lasers to allow superficial and
deep penetration of laser energy of up to 4” into tissue activating all three known cellular pathways.

True Laser Diodes Versus LEDs
True lasers are highly directional delivering 100% of the photons to the affected area versus only 5 to 6% with
a LED; hence, much better treatment outcomes occur with true lasers versus LEDs.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE PRODUCT
                                              theralase is the only laser on the
                                                 market known to activate all
                                                      three cellular pathways

660 nm - Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Pathway:
Healing                                                                                                     Inner
                                                                                                            Membrane
Theralase stimulates the mitochondria of the cell to produce more                                                 Outer
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP or basic cell energy) to accelerate                                                   Membrane
tissue repair. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Science 2003)
Cells that lack energy are unable to participate in the healing process. Laser
energy is delivered to injured cells, which are able to absorb the light and       Cristae
convert it into chemical energy, which is then used to accelerate tissue repair.     Matrix
Once cells are fully energized they are able to stimulate each other to rebuild
and heal the injured area.

905 nm - Nitric Oxide (NO) Pathway: Inflammation
Independent research proves that the proprietary Theralase 905nm
superpulsed laser technology increases the production of NO by over
700%, increasing vasodilation and decreasing inflammation versus
other competitive wavelengths. (Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2009).
When tissue injury occurs, the inflammatory process is initiated to immobilize
the area and prevent further damage to our body. This process is usually
associated with pain caused by inflammation exerting pressure on nerve
endings. In order to decrease inflammation in the particular region, the body
produces Nitric Oxide (NO). Nitric Oxide has been proven to relax the
vascular network, dilate the capillaries, improve vascular function, protect
against cell injury and help rebalance the immune response. This process
not only reduces inflammation but brings much needed oxygen and other
metabolites to the injured tissue aiding in their natural healing.

905 nm - Lipid Absorption Pathway: Pain
                                                                                    Extracellular fluid with high concentration
Theralase laser technology effectively removes the pain signal at                   of Na+
source by rebalancing the sodium potassium pathway. (Harvard Medical
School 2010)
                                                                                   Cell membrane
                                                                                                Na+K+           Na+ Na+
                                                                                                                   Na+


Neurons use electrical and chemical signals to transmit information. The
transmission of pain is primarily due to an expulsion of sodium ions (Na+)
and an influx of potassium (K+) ions into the nerve cell across the cellular                     ATP
membrane, altering the electrical potential difference of the nerve cell. The
peak absorption of lipids occurs in the near infrared wavelength range of 905            K+Na+    ADP

nm to 910 nm. Since the cellular membrane is a bilipid membrane, laser light
in the 905 nm range increases the porosity of the cellular membrane. This
increased cellular membrane porosity allows the reabsorption of sodium ions                      Intracellular fluid with low

BUT DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT...

HERE’S WHAT Healthcare Practitioners
ARE SAYING ABOUT THERALASE




JAMES ANDREWS, MD, Birmingham, Alabama
“Our rehab specialists have reported outstanding success when using the Theralase therapeutic laser system
for rehabilitation of certain knee, shoulder, elbow and other neuromuscular skeletal conditions. The Theralase
laser is now a standard of care treatment methodology within our rehab clinics and is a great tool in helping our
athletes return to competition”.

LAURENCE ALTSHULER, MD, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
“The most advanced laser I have used is the Theralase therapeutic laser system, which I have now utilized for
over one year and with which I have treated over 1000 patients. The Theralase is my first choice of treatment
for patients with arthritis of any joint as well as degenerative disc disease. I also recommend the Theralase for
TMJ, carpal tunnel, tendonitis and foot problems such as plantar fasciitis. The results have been excellent”.

KEVIN WILK, DPT, Birmingham, Alabama
“I love the Theralase medical laser system and use it in our clinic at least 20 times per day. Theralase is great for
healing soft tissue injuries, damaged articular cartilage, ligament, muscle and tendon lesions - pretty much any
muscular skeletal condition that I see at Champion Sports Medicine. I had one of my physical therapists use it
on their plantar wart excisions site that wasn’t healing and Theralase healed it in just a few days! Remarkable! I
really love the Theralase and my patients love it too”.

GEORGE POULIS AND DAVE ABRAHAM, ATS, Toronto, Ontario
“The Theralase laser is the most effective technology we have ever used. Our players (Toronto Blue Jays) now
rely on Theralase to keep them healthy and playing at their peak”.

ALBERT SCALES, DC, St. Catherines, Ontario
“I first purchased a therapeutic unit 2 years ago. The Theralase laser system quickly doubled my referrals
within a few weeks. Initially, I used it to complement my other treatment modalities including ultrasound and
electrotherapy. I have recently upgraded to a more powerful system and now use it as a stand alone therapy
that has replaced all other modalities. I’m averaging 200 laser treatments per month. The cost of the upgrade
was offset within 3 months”.

EFFICACY OF LOW-LEVEL LASER THERAPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF NECK PAIN: a
SYSTEMatIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF RANDOMIZED PLACEBO OR ACTIVE
TREATMENT CONTROLLED TRIALS
Roberta Chow et al. The Lancet, November 2009

Sixteen randomized controlled clinical trials were identified for analysis totalling 820 patients. In acute neck
pain, results of two trials showed a relative risk (RR) of 1.69 for pain improvement for LLLT versus placebo.
Five trials of chronic neck pain showed a RR for pain improvement of 4.05 using LLLT. Eleven trials reported
reductions in pain intensity when measured using the Visual Analog Scale. Seven trials provided follow up data
for 1 to 22 weeks and saw short term pain relief persisting in the medium term using LLLT. Side effects from
LLLT were mild and not different from those of placebo.

Study Conclusion: LLLT reduces pain immediately after treatment in acute neck pain and for up to 22 weeks
after completion of treatment in patients with chronic neck pain.

Effects of 904 NM low-level laser therapy in the management of lateral
epicondylitis: a randomized Controlled trial
Lam and Chein. Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, April 2007

The study evaluated the effectiveness of 904 nm Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) in the management of
lateral epicondylitis. Thirty-nine patients with lateral epicondylitis were examined and treated with pain levels
determined by the Visual Analog Scale. The study revealed that LLLT in addition to exercise is effective in
improving the grip strength and subjective rating of physical function of patients with lateral epicondylitis.

Study Conclusion : LLLT is highly effective in treating lateral epicondylitis

efficacy of 904 NM gallium arsenide low level laser therapy in the
management of chronic myofascial pain in the neck: a double blind and
randomized controlled trial
Ali Gur, MD et al. Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2004

A prospective, double blind, randomized and controlled trial was conducted in patients with chronic myofascial
pain syndrome (MPS) in the neck to evaluate the effects of infrared low level 904 nm Gallium Arsenide (GaAs)
laser therapy (LLLT) on clinical and quality of life. Results showed that the laser group experienced a significant
improvement in pain at all outcome measures (p<0.01) over the placebo group.

Study Conclusion: LLLT is highly effective in treating Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome

    NEUROMUSCULAR SKELETAL CONDITIONS Eliminating PAIN AND INFLAMMATION Neuromuscular skeletal conditions are common in all of us. We can all experience sprains, strains and pain that just won’t go away resulting from repetitive strains in our work place or from trauma in our everyday lives. Pain and inflammation are things we’ve grown to accept as something we probably will just have to live with. Medical practitioners across North America have discovered a modern medical technology that heals injuries safely and effectively on a cellular level. This medical technology is the Theralase line of therapeutic medical laser systems. The Theralase superpulsed laser system can penetrate up to 4 inches into tissue, to promote cellular regeneration at the source of injury. Laser energy helps to repair damaged cells by accelerating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Depending on the severity of the injury, your patient can return to an active lifestyle pain-free within a few weeks versus months or years of life altering pain. Pg.3

    THE SCIENCE BEHINDTHE PRODUCT Superpulsed 905 nm technology penetrates up to 4” into tissue Safe and Effective Theralase’s superpulsed 905 nanometer (nm) near infrared and 660 nanometer (nm) visible red laser technology accelerates healing by reducing pain and inflammation while staying below the Maximal Permissible Exposure (MPE) tolerance for tissue.

True Laser Diodes Versus LEDs True lasers are highly directional delivering 100% of the photons to the affected area versus only 5 to 6% with a LED; hence, much better treatment outcomes occur with true lasers versus LEDs. Laser - 100% of light energy in the forward direction LED - 5 to 6 % of light energy in the forward direction Theralase Laser LED 100 mW x 100%= 100 mW 15 mW x 6%= 0.9 mW Shorter Treatment Times The Theralase Multiple Probe utilizes 9 Lasers and is able to treat an area of 20cm2 thus reducing treatment times by 90% in comparison to a single laser probe.

    THE SCIENCE BEHINDTHE PRODUCT theralase is the only laser on the market known to activate all three cellular pathways 660 nm - Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Pathway: Healing Inner Membrane Theralase stimulates the mitochondria of the cell to produce more Outer Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP or basic cell energy) to accelerate Membrane tissue repair. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Science 2003) Cells that lack energy are unable to participate in the healing process. Laser energy is delivered to injured cells, which are able to absorb the light and Cristae convert it into chemical energy, which is then used to accelerate tissue repair. Matrix Once cells are fully energized they are able to stimulate each other to rebuild and heal the injured area. 905 nm - Nitric Oxide (NO) Pathway: Inflammation Independent research proves that the proprietary Theralase 905nm superpulsed laser technology increases the production of NO by over 700%, increasing vasodilation and decreasing inflammation versus other competitive wavelengths. (Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2009). When tissue injury occurs, the inflammatory process is initiated to immobilize the area and prevent further damage to our body. This process is usually associated with pain caused by inflammation exerting pressure on nerve endings. In order to decrease inflammation in the particular region, the body produces Nitric Oxide (NO). Nitric Oxide has been proven to relax the vascular network, dilate the capillaries, improve vascular function, protect against cell injury and help rebalance the immune response. This process not only reduces inflammation but brings much needed oxygen and other metabolites to the injured tissue aiding in their natural healing. 905 nm - Lipid Absorption Pathway: Pain Extracellular fluid with high concentration Theralase laser technology effectively removes the pain signal at of Na+ source by rebalancing the sodium potassium pathway. (Harvard Medical School 2010) Cell membrane Na+K+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Neurons use electrical and chemical signals to transmit information. The transmission of pain is primarily due to an expulsion of sodium ions (Na+) and an influx of potassium (K+) ions into the nerve cell across the cellular ATP membrane, altering the electrical potential difference of the nerve cell. The peak absorption of lipids occurs in the near infrared wavelength range of 905 K+Na+ ADP nm to 910 nm. Since the cellular membrane is a bilipid membrane, laser light in the 905 nm range increases the porosity of the cellular membrane. This increased cellular membrane porosity allows the reabsorption of sodium ions Intracellular fluid with low concentration of Na+ and and the expulsion of potassium ions across the membrane rebalancing the high concentration of K+ sodium-potassium pump and removing the pain signal at source.

    BUT DON’T TAKEOUR WORD FOR IT... HERE’S WHAT Healthcare Practitioners ARE SAYING ABOUT THERALASE JAMES ANDREWS, MD, Birmingham, Alabama “Our rehab specialists have reported outstanding success when using the Theralase therapeutic laser system for rehabilitation of certain knee, shoulder, elbow and other neuromuscular skeletal conditions. The Theralase laser is now a standard of care treatment methodology within our rehab clinics and is a great tool in helping our athletes return to competition”. LAURENCE ALTSHULER, MD, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma “The most advanced laser I have used is the Theralase therapeutic laser system, which I have now utilized for over one year and with which I have treated over 1000 patients. The Theralase is my first choice of treatment for patients with arthritis of any joint as well as degenerative disc disease. I also recommend the Theralase for TMJ, carpal tunnel, tendonitis and foot problems such as plantar fasciitis. The results have been excellent”. KEVIN WILK, DPT, Birmingham, Alabama “I love the Theralase medical laser system and use it in our clinic at least 20 times per day. Theralase is great for healing soft tissue injuries, damaged articular cartilage, ligament, muscle and tendon lesions - pretty much any muscular skeletal condition that I see at Champion Sports Medicine. I had one of my physical therapists use it on their plantar wart excisions site that wasn’t healing and Theralase healed it in just a few days! Remarkable! I really love the Theralase and my patients love it too”. GEORGE POULIS AND DAVE ABRAHAM, ATS, Toronto, Ontario “The Theralase laser is the most effective technology we have ever used. Our players (Toronto Blue Jays) now rely on Theralase to keep them healthy and playing at their peak”. ALBERT SCALES, DC, St. Catherines, Ontario “I first purchased a therapeutic unit 2 years ago. The Theralase laser system quickly doubled my referrals within a few weeks. Initially, I used it to complement my other treatment modalities including ultrasound and electrotherapy. I have recently upgraded to a more powerful system and now use it as a stand alone therapy that has replaced all other modalities. I’m averaging 200 laser treatments per month. The cost of the upgrade was offset within 3 months”. Pg.8

    CLINICAL PROOF over 3,000 clinical studies worldwide have proven the effectiveness of laser therapy EFFICACY OF LOW-LEVEL LASER THERAPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF NECK PAIN: a SYSTEMatIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF RANDOMIZED PLACEBO OR ACTIVE TREATMENT CONTROLLED TRIALS Roberta Chow et al. The Lancet, November 2009 Sixteen randomized controlled clinical trials were identified for analysis totalling 820 patients. In acute neck pain, results of two trials showed a relative risk (RR) of 1.69 for pain improvement for LLLT versus placebo. Five trials of chronic neck pain showed a RR for pain improvement of 4.05 using LLLT. Eleven trials reported reductions in pain intensity when measured using the Visual Analog Scale. Seven trials provided follow up data for 1 to 22 weeks and saw short term pain relief persisting in the medium term using LLLT. Side effects from LLLT were mild and not different from those of placebo. Study Conclusion: LLLT reduces pain immediately after treatment in acute neck pain and for up to 22 weeks after completion of treatment in patients with chronic neck pain. Effects of 904 NM low-level laser therapy in the management of lateral epicondylitis: a randomized Controlled trial Lam and Chein. Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, April 2007 The study evaluated the effectiveness of 904 nm Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) in the management of lateral epicondylitis. Thirty-nine patients with lateral epicondylitis were examined and treated with pain levels determined by the Visual Analog Scale. The study revealed that LLLT in addition to exercise is effective in improving the grip strength and subjective rating of physical function of patients with lateral epicondylitis. Study Conclusion : LLLT is highly effective in treating lateral epicondylitis efficacy of 904 NM gallium arsenide low level laser therapy in the management of chronic myofascial pain in the neck: a double blind and randomized controlled trial Ali Gur, MD et al. Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2004 A prospective, double blind, randomized and controlled trial was conducted in patients with chronic myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) in the neck to evaluate the effects of infrared low level 904 nm Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) laser therapy (LLLT) on clinical and quality of life. Results showed that the laser group experienced a significant improvement in pain at all outcome measures (p<0.01) over the placebo group. Study Conclusion: LLLT is highly effective in treating Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome Pg.9
