LaserTouchOne: pain relief at the cellular level - KUAM.com-KUAM News: On Air. Online. On Demand.

Guam - More than 76 million people live with chronic pain, impacting their quality of life and making simple tasks such as lifting a child or swinging a golf club nearly impossible. Include those who suffer from acute pain, and 50 percent of the population lives with pain. The LaserTouchOne, which has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, is the only pain relief device on the market that combines two proven therapies, low-level laser and micro-current electrical stimulation.

Research has shown that these two therapies benefit tissue at the cellular level and promote the body's natural repair and healing processes to take place. Results of a clinical study showed that the LaserTouchOne has shown to be 93 percent effective in decreasing pain. Local family practitioner Dr. Chris Dombrowski told KUAM News, "At least from my perspective, specifically to work in trigger points in the muscles, which is exacerbated muscle spasms."

LaserTouchOne authorized distributor Ferdinand Permalino said, "LaserTouchOne is a pain relief device that I got into primarily because my family needed some sort of solution for pain relief."

Dr. Dombrowski said typical treatment would be heat and deep tissue massage but being in the 21st Century, more forms of therapy have been made available. "Everybody has they're own way. There are multiple paths to health - some people like heat, some people like deep tissue massage" he said. "This is just another  modality for treatment."

As a result, local physiological changes become evident, namely muscle relaxation and improved circulation. When this occurs, oxygen flows more freely and promotes healing.

Dombrowski, who has been practicing for over 25 years, praises the LaserTouchOne. "It's a fantastic tool. I would recommend anybody to give it a shot...at least give it a chance," he said.
