"The field of photo therapy, once called laser, is blooming right before our very eyes. There have been multiple studies at NASA that even show that retinal damage can be reversed by photonic stimulation... “I know of no other modality that even comes close to the myriad of physiological changes that take place with the laser and yet no adverse effects.

"It's Time We Opened Our Eyes to the Light"

“Light energy has been used for healing since the earliest recorded medical history, but has gone out of favor in Western medicine with the advent of the existing paradigm of a more surgical and pharmacological basis... (Cold Laser) has been an essential part of therapy for practitioners around the world for almost 20 years, but it is only recently catching on in the United States. Still, the vast majority of students of medicine and allied health practices in this country are not being taught its efficacy and use...
I have had the opportunity to assist multiple patients with pain management, wound healing and physical recovery… This modality has been the best new technology I have had to offer my patients in the last decade. It is my hope that others will latch onto this technology and bring it forward, for it is a completely non-invasive option that provides so many physiologic advantages with no apparent side effects.”

Cold Laser Therapy:
The Amazing Non-Surgical
Technology Used to Treat
Elite Athletes...
Available for
Long Island Residents
Lasers of course, have become the “rage” for surgery. But cold laser is totally different from the surgical laser. High power lasers are used to cut through tissue while low-power or “cold” lasers stimulate tissue repair and healing. A growing number of physicians around the world, are heralding cold laser therapy as one of the great healing technologies of our time.
Scientists figured out that there are different kinds of light. And they create different effects on the cells of our bodies. We all know the light we can SEE—the range of colors of the spectrum of a rainbow. We also know that sunlight produces HEAT. Ultraviolet light is the part of the spectrum that causes tanning or burning of the skin.
Scientists refer to cold laser light as compressed from a wavelength of the cold, red electromagnetic part of the spectrum. It’s very different from natural light because it’s just ONE color. Plus it travels in a straight line and can be polarized, which means the beam can be aimed at a specific area. This lets the laser light go through the surface of the skin without heating it! No damage... No side effects.
Worldwide, cold laser has been reported to successfully treat an incredible number of conditions. Research scientists say it’s because it works at the cellular level. More than 2,500 research reports have been published. And more than 100 double blind positive studies confirm that it works.
Cold Laser therapy is safe and effective for decreasing pain and healing many conditions. It’s an awesome technology—part of a complete chronic pain treatment program. With the Erchonia Cold Laser, we are even able to precisely diagnose the areas of nerve compression and treat them!

About the Erchonia Cold Laser
“How Does Cold Laser Work?”
Cold laser is helping many conditions previously untreatable with anything but medication. But light therapy is hardly a new concept. Light has been used for healing for thousands of years, starting with the Chinese, Greeks and Romans who recognized the positive effects of sunlight. The rays of the sun make plant seeds sprout through changes in their genetic materials—DNA and RNA. Remember that the sun’s rays are full spectrum light…meaning that there are many wavelengths. Yet only ONE specific wavelength or frequency causes the seeds to germinate.
Every cell, tissue and organ of your body has a specific frequency that regulates important functions. Things like protein such as protein synthesis, cell division and communication. The living matrix of your body’s cells has laser-like RESONANCE FREQUENCY—a unique property that signals various things like growth, injury repair and immune function. Using specific cold laser frequencies and wavelengths can balance the body’s defense and repair mechanisms. This means that disease shows up as chemical imbalances…but the underlying cause is electromagnetic. So applying a specific frequency can restore normal function to cells.
It’s critical to use the RIGHT WAVELENGTHS, FREQUENCIES and other settings. The Erchonia PL-5000 Cold Laser that Dr. Foglia uses can be programmed to different frequencies to treat different areas of the body, at the cellular level. Think of it as a calculator... that subtracts pain!
"Fueling the Power Plant"

All the cells of your body have a miniature “power plant” inside called the mitochondrion. That’s where your cell’s energy is produced. It’s called ATP (Adenosine Tri-phosphate). Cold laser light stimulates an increase in ATP production in the mitochondria. This process is similar to how your body uses the sun's energy to manufacture Vitamin D.
When your cells have more energy available, they operate more efficiently. Researchers say cold laser improves transportation of nutrients through the cells. It can help increase chemicals known as endorphins. These are your body’s natural, built-in pain relievers.
The mitochondria are very sensitive to light. The amazing discovery made around 40 years ago by Hungarian surgeon, Dr. Mester was that certain frequencies of light could increase the “power plant’s” ability to make MORE energy…speeding up the healing rate of injuries. The blood’s immune response can improve. Oxygen to the cells can increase too. Cold laser light also activates enzymes within cells. This triggers beneficial chemical reactions to activate more enzymes—like a “domino effect.” What’s really fascinating is that only the cells that need the light absorb it.
What would you say if a noted neuroscientist told you an injured spinal cord could be repaired by shining a light on it?
The research was conducted by neuroscientist, Juanita Anders at Bethesda, Maryland. Her lab is at the Uniformed Services University, the U.S. military’s medical school. Over the past seven years, Anders has been studying the healing powers of cold lasers. She has found that in rats, laser therapy can repair severed spinal cords, allowing once-injured animals to walk again—a 300% faster rate of healing. It is unlikely that there is any other type of treatment technology that can produce as many positive effects—yet cause no bad effects. There are drugs which produce positive effects…but at the cost of many negative side effects.
When cold laser is applied… your body’s natural healing response is stimulated… and… in many cases… it heals faster and better. It’s proven safe and effective for decreasing pain and improving healing. With so many modern medical “cures” causing worse problems than the conditions they were initially intended to treat… one of the most important benefits was… No Documented Side Effects! Not one. Plus there’s no risk of infection and no surgical complications with cold laser.
Erchonia Medical made history by becoming the first to receive FDA market clearance for the treatment of chronic pain, proven through two double blind studies. The Erchonia Lasers are the most advanced lasers on the market, with their sleek revolutionary design, patented line generated beam, and the ability to program independent frequencies in all of their family of lasers.
Dr. Foglia exclusively uses the Erchonia Cold Laser: the same laser used exclusively by Lance Armstrong, the seven-time Tour de France winner, as well as other elite professional athletes, including NFL football teams like the New York Jets and New England Patriots. The US Olympic Committee enthusiastically endorsed cold laser therapy in January of 2004. Dr. Foglia is also proud to use protocols taught by Dr. Jeff Spencer, who served as team chiropractor for the United States Postal Service, Tour de France cycling team with Lance Armstrong.
In addition to Shoulder and Neck problems, Cold Laser can be effective for:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome , and other inflammatory conditions like: tennis
elbow, and bursitis
Shoulder Problems
Back and Neck Pain, Sciatica
Joint Sprains, Muscle strains, tendonitis
Plantar fasciitis - Heel and Foot Pain
Joint injuries or conditions, like TMJ, arthritis
Neurological injuries—spinal discs, headaches
And many, many other problems
