Back to Life Chiropractic has been using the MR4 with electric stimulation for several years now with great success. Learn more about this therapy below:
MR4 LASERSTIM
The MR4 LaserStim™ is the world’s first and only FDA-cleared device combining neurological electrical stimulation and laser in a single probe. Our Treatment Area Recognition and Guidance Enhanced Technology™ (TARGET) provides pain relief by constantly scanning tissue to quickly locate areas needing treatment and automatically giving the proper dose of super pulsed laser.
SUPER PULSING IS KEY TO MULTI RADIANCE TECHNOLOGY
Super pulsed infrared laser (905 nm) GaAS is the essential component of Multi Radiance Medical technology. Multi Radiance Medical super pulsed lasers deliver billionths-of-a-second pulses, combined with up to 50,000 mW of peak power for a higher concentration of light energy, or photons, driven deeper into the target tissue without any risk of overheating.
Super pulsing allows for deeper penetration than a laser of the same wavelength that is not super pulsed but has the same average output power. This is because short pulses allow for quick absorption. In addition, the period between pulses promotes a better environment for optimal pain relief.
Super pulsed infrared laser penetrates deeply into target tissues and exerts powerful stimulating influences upon blood microcirculation. In general, laser diodes are either continuous wave or pulsed. The continuous wave diodes emit laser energy for the entire time they are electrically driven, hence the name. They provide a fixed level of power during emission. Super pulsed diodes emit a series (frequency) of radiation impulses with high amplitude in an extremely short duration (typically 100 to 200 nanoseconds). The mean output of power of a Multi Radiance Medical super pulsed laser will increase as the pulse repetition is increased.
Each impulse of the super pulsed laser produces high peak power delivered for a very brief duration. It is the high power level during each pulse that creates the energy density necessary to deliver adequate doses to the target tissue. Even though the pulse peaks at a high power level, there are no thermal effects in the tissue. Therefore, the peak power of a pulsed laser is high compared to its average output power. By using super pulsed lasers, one is able to more effectively deliver higher densities of light energy into the tissue without the associated deleterious thermal effects.
