Orthopedic and physiotherapeutic indications

Besides the pain release, the regenerative effects of the laserneedle irradiation in bone and cartilage tissue are here of particular importance. Osteonecrotic bone areas are regenerated to a great extent by direct laser needle irradiation (Morbus Ahlbäck, Morgus Osgood Schlatter).8 The laser needle irradiation enhances significantly the metabolism of osteoblast cells, without influencing the osteclast cell activity. 6 As the result, the bone production-reduction equilibrium is shifted to the bone tissue producing side and an increased mineralisation is induced. Cartilage tissue is stabilised (Fibrinogen, Collagen), and the synthesis of hyaluron acid and proteoglycanes is increased.

The application principle is very simple:

• The laserneedles are arranged along the affected articular gap or the osteonecrotic area.
• The optimum treatment time is of about 30 min, the treatments must be repeated 15-20 times, with 2-3 treatments per week.
• Excellent results will be achieved in the treatment of tendinitis. This opens new possibilities to reduce the medication, to reduce the side effects and to prevent surgical interventions.
• Usually 5–20 treatments are necessary to induce long-standing regenerative effects.

Acupuncture

Needles are important for each kind of acupuncture. We have developed new laser needles, which show improved stimulation efficiacy at the acupoints. The stimulation intensity of these HED (High Energy Density)- laser needles is equivalent to that of metal needles. In addition, the HED laser needles generate restorative, non-specific effects in the tissue. The cerebral and peripheral effects of laser needle acupuncture are scientifically investigated and published in more than 50 peer-reviewed publications. .1,2,3,4,5 The new system laser needle touch is the result of all our scientific data and clinical experiences. Acupuncture treatments with laser needle touch are completely painless, side-effect free and very popular at the little patients and the adults

Due to their double efficiacy, the laser needles reach therapeutic effects, which are superior to the classic metal needle acupuncture. Any point combinations of 10 acupoints can be stimulated simultaneously. The point selection criteria are in accordance with the TCM and the same compared to the classic acupuncture. You will reach very good therapeutic results in the treatment of low-back pain, joint pain and allergical and neurological diseases.

The laserneedle touch devices contain a data bank with all therapeutic and diagnostic frequencies according to Nogier, Bahr, Reininger. The new laserneedle touch device contains the “frequency mixing mode”, developed in cooperation with Dr.Reininger: Each laserneedle can be programmed with a different frequency. For a quick and efficient pulse diagnostics, a new “diagnostic mode” is available and can be activated.

Pain therapy

A particluar new approach in the Pain Therapy represents the Transcutane Optical Nerve Stimulation (TONS)

In this case, the laser needles are fixed on the painful area and activated in the low-frequency modulation mode. ( 2Hz-100 Hz) In addition to the analgetic effects of the well-known TENS (electrical nerve stimulation), the laser radiation induces an increase of the cell energy in the target tissue by increased ATP synthesis, an increase of the oxygen-metabolism and an increase of the capillary blood flow.

Woundhealing disorders

The advantages of red/infrared laser irradiation treatments for wound healing disorders, in particular therapy resistant diabetic ulcus cruris, are well described and documented in the literature.

Our new therapeutic approach combines the additive effects of red and blue laser light and contains three components:

• Laserneedle irradiation of the surrounding area with four red LASER NEEDLES to increase the arterial, venous and lymphatic circulation in the area around the ulcus.
• direct, bichromatic irradiation of the ulcus with the KOLINA Spot, equipped with 3 red LASER NEEDLES and 1 blue laserneedle, to eliminate any staphylococcus contamination in the wound and to enhance the metabolism of fibroblast cells

Longstanding, completely therapy resistent ulcus cruris venosum, treated with KOLINA spot. Patient, m, 56 y, healing process after 4 treatments within a period of one week

Skin diseases

Our new laser needle phototerapy is based on the recent results of the modern dermatological reserch. The basic principle of our therapy is to irradiate the affected skin areas simultaneously with blue and red laserneedle radiation of high energy density.10 The effects of the red laser radiation in the skin well known, the cell energy (ATP synthesis), the microciculation of blood and lymph and the oxygen metabolism are improved during the non-specific irradiation of the skin tissue. Therefore, the red laser light improves in general the regeneration capability of the skin tissue.

The blue laserneedle radiation (405 nm) however, effects specifically. At sufficient energy densities, immunological and anti- bacteriological effects are induced. The immunological effects are the inhibition and reduction of Langerhans cells and IgE+Langerhans cells, the inhibition of dermal mast cells and the inhibition and reduction of T-Lymphocytes. The activity and number of T-lymphocytes, which are infiltrated in the skin is influenced and decreased directly by the 405 nm radiation. A decrease of bcl-2 proteines after radiation, which acts as apoptosis inhibitor, was reported in the literature.

From the bacteriological point of view, the 405 nm irradiation has an highly efficient eliminating effect on porphyrines- based bacteria, like Proprionibakterium acne, Staphylococcus aureaus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Due to their specific immunological and anti-bacteriological effects, the 405 nm laserneedle radiation is the optimum choice to treat the atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, vitiligo and acne vulgaris. The immunological and bacteriological pathogenesis of these indications is quite similar.

In contrast to the established UVA1 phototherapy, the treatment with 405 nm laserneedle irradiation is complete UV- free ,e.g. all possible carcinogenic risks are eliminated ! In particular for the treatment of children, the 405 nm radiation is safe, side-effect free and free of any risks, even for longer treatment times!

Skin rejuvenation

Biological skin rejuvenation by integrative laser treatment

New, non-invasive method, based on a patented laser-comb, which emitts trichromatic laser light (red, blue and infrared)

2-step- procedure:

• Step One: Hyalurone acid filling and cross-linking of the molecules by 4 color laser comb
• Step Two: Phytotherapy to induce the formation of new collagen 1 and Elastin
• Alternatively: photodynamic therapy to invcrease the number of collagen 1 fibres in the dermis

Dentistry

Periodontosis and periodontosis prophylaxis

Periodontosis and Periodontosis prophylaxis by effective and non-invasive elimination of porphyrine- based bacteria, like Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia without any add. chemicals, just by blue laser light ! Efficiacy almost 100 %, due to the strong Soret-Band Absorption of blue photons in the bacteria.

Noninvasive Pain therapy

The stimulation of trigger-points and acupuncture points by KOLINA- dental leads to an increased release of neurotransmitters due to a specific activation of the pain cores in the hypothalamic area.

The pain-inhibiting effects are persistent and pronounced.

The application of KOLINA needles for analgetic treatments does not require any additional qualification, simple graphic instructions allow succesful treatments after few exercises.

Indications:

• Nausea and vomitting
• Post-surgery pain treatments
• Neuralgias
• Psychosomatic disorders
• Relaxation treatments

Pediatric indications

The advantages of the painless laser needle treatments can be felt in particular in the treatments of children. The painless and side-effect free character of laser needle micro therapies is essential for the pediatrics, the children experience the acupuncture and the laser therapy as pleasant and efficient method. The accompanying medication of inflammations, joint diseases or skin diseases with antibiotics can often be significantly reduced.

Acute and chronic Tinnitus - the laserneedle-music therapy

The new tinnitus therapy was developed in clinical studies in collaboration with Univ. of Heidelberg (Germany), Graz and Innsbruck (Austria). It combines three aspects:

1. repair of lesions of the cochlea and of the inner hair cells by direct, high intensity red laser irradiation of the inner ear and mastoid.

2. induction of alterations in the prefrontal cortex and in the limbic system( these areas are relevant for the consolidation of the tinnitus) by stimulation of relevant acupoints

3. simultaneous acustic masking by relaxing music therapy in the

The treatment should be repeated 3 x per week in the first two weeks and can be reduced to
2 x per week in the weeks 3, 4 and 5. All together at least 20 treatments must be carried out.
