NEW HOPE FOR PAIN SUFFERERS COMES FROM
GOOD OLD AMERICAN “HORSE SENSE”
FDA-Approved Treatment Helps Reduce Pain Associated With Acute
And Chronic Pain Originated From Curing “Incurable” Horses

Denver, COLORADO – Often called the “technology of the future,” light carries many uses – from fiber optics carrying data over the “information super highway” to medical practitioners using lasers (coherent light) in surgery. With more than 80 million people in the United States alone suffering from one form or another of pain, one company has created the technology to treat both acute and chronic pain through the use of light-emitting diodes, LEDs (non-coherent light).

This FDA-approved treatment, developed by Light Force Therapy, helps ease the pain associated with a number of conditions including arthritis; tendonitis; fibromyalgia; muscle and joint pain; muscle spasm, stiffness and soreness among others. In December 2002, the FDA further cleared Light Force Therapy products for use in helping to temporarily increase blood circulation where applied.

But even more surprising than the source of this great innovation is how it was introduced. The treatment was originally invented as a last resource to cure horses that were injured or suffering from illnesses, often diagnosed as incurable, and with no hope for a future. The therapy was so effective, that many of the horses treated were able to return to an active, vibrant life as well as their professional athletic careers. Eventually, the owners of these horses became curious and if it worked so well on horses, maybe it was worth trying on their own ailments? The results were just as remarkable for humans as those achieved by the horses.

Feeling obligated to share this new discovery, Light-Force-Therapy has developed three products specifically for humans, the Super Nova, AcuBeam and Dio. This process, by using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to produce beams of light at specific wavelengths and frequencies, helps to relieve acute or chronic pain associated with disease or injury. Scientific studies have shown that this type of therapy can:

* Facilitate pain reduction
* Improve mobility (range of motion)
* Relax muscles
* Increase blood circulation (as well as oxygen and blood flow)
* Decrease inflammation
* Stimulate production of collagen
* Stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (the body’s “fuel”)
* Increase lymphatic system activity
* Increase RNA and DNA synthesis
* Reduce excitability of nervous tissues
* Stimulate fibroblastic activity, which aids in the cellular repair process
* Increase phagocytes (helps to fight infection)
* Induce a thermal-like effect in the body’s tissues
* Improve the healing of wounds
* Treats skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, etc.

“Our goal was to provide people with additional options to traditional medicine and healing protocols – specifically with regard to overcoming sharp or chronic pain,” commented Kim Peterson, President of Light-Force-Therapy. “LFT therapy does this by increasing circulation and blood flow to the affected area, thereby decreasing inflammation and increasing range of motion. This is a great option for people that don’t want to take pills or have tried ineffective therapies in the past.”

LFT therapy helps deliver therapeutic benefits to living tissues. Studies show that as light is absorbed by the skin and underlying tissues, this triggers biological changes within the body called photo-biomodulation. This boils down to monochromatic light being able to speed up certain cellular metabolic processes which in turn increases oxygen and blood flow, stimulates nerve function, decreases inflammation, increases mobility and facilitates pain reduction and muscle relaxation. Research has shown that all of this is accomplished without the assistance of drugs or invasive surgery.

Thousands of people and practitioners worldwide, including physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, wellness centers, among others, have benefited from the uses of LFT products. LFT therapy is non-invasive and has no known harmful side effects.
