29-02-2012 12:13 Low-Level Laser Therapy is a completely safe, noninvasive, nonthermal therapy in which a special type of light penetrates the surface of the skin and underlying tissues to stimulate natural healing in the body. The body's cells are exposed to photon energy, which in turn: Reduces pain Reduces inflammation Increases circulation Increases cellular ATP production Releases tight muscles (both smooth and striated) Speeds bone repair FDA Approves Low-Level Laser for Osteoarthritis Billions of dollars equal a staggering loss in the United States economy due to medical costs and decrease in productivity. The culprit, osteoarthritis. However, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared a new therapy that alleviates pain and inflammation with no side effects. This marks the first low-level laser to be cleared by the FDA for treating osteoarthritis of the hand. This therapy is the Q-Laser System, a low-level laser, now available in our clinics in San Diego and Oceanside. Osteoarthritis cannot currently be cured, but effective treatments can improve the quality of life of millions of people.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Nuffield Council on Bioethics, which examines ethical issues raised by new developments in biology and medicine, launched a consultation on Thursday on the ethics of new technologies and devices that intervene in the human brain. The three main areas of the group's focus are brain-computer interfaces, neurostimulation and neural stem cell therapy. Here are some details about each area of research and how it is being explored. * Brain computer interfaces (BCIs) BCIs measure and analyze a person's brain signals and convert them into an output such as movement. A paralyzed person, for example, could use a BCI to operate a wheelchair, or someone who has extreme difficulty speaking could use a BCI to communicate via a computer voice. These sorts of applications have been shown to be successful in a few reported cases, but the technology has not yet been developed for regular clinical use and there are questions over whether these technologies are reliable enough for use in everyday life. Military applications, such as remote control of vehicles and machinery are not yet in wide use but are being researched and tested, mainly in the United States. Some commercial BCI developments are already on … Continue reading →
