Patented laser diode arms, precisely positioned — photochemistry at the pain center, with nothing to monitor.
The FX 635 uses low-level laser technology and patented laser diode arms to precisely target pain centers. The body absorbs the light energy, which encourages the cell’s mitochondria to produce more ATP and promotes natural healing within the cell. Because the laser merely stimulates the cells to heal naturally, it provides pain relief and reduces inflammation with no known side effects. Patients remain awake throughout and experience no burning, scarring or downtime — they resume the rest of their day as soon as the session is over.
The only low-level laser FDA-cleared for chronic low back pain, plantar fasciitis and nociceptive musculoskeletal pain — and it’s completely hands-free, so you can simply relax during your session. The FX 635 gives patients with chronic pain a non-invasive, pain-free treatment option. Three line-generating red diodes on two independently adjustable arms target the pain center precisely; the body absorbs the light energy, mitochondria produce more ATP, and the cell’s own repair response does the work. Because the laser stimulates rather than heats, the FX 635 relieves pain and reduces inflammation with no known side effects — and the adjustable laser arms stay precisely on the treatment area for the entire session.
The PowerMedic GigaLaser is an FDA-cleared, professional-grade Class 3B low-level laser therapy (LLLT) device that treats a large area of the body at once — no handheld probe required.
Key Specifications & Features
Treatment area: Covers up to 500 cm² (77 sq. inches) at once, with three sectioned, 360-degree articulating panels that adjust to the body.
Diodes & wavelengths: 36 laser diodes at 808 nm (near-infrared, for deep tissue penetration), 144 red LEDs at 660 nm (for circulation and surface healing) and 144 blue LEDs at 405 nm (for reducing surface bacteria).
Power output: HyperPulsed technology with an average output of 18,000 mW and a peak output of 36,000 mW.
Hands-free operation: Treats large areas such as the lower back, hips, knees or face efficiently, without holding a probe.
Common Clinical Uses
Musculoskeletal & pain relief: Helps with joint arthritis, backaches, tendonitis and sports injuries by stimulating cellular ATP production and reducing inflammation.
Women’s health & fertility: Increasingly used to support reproductive health, help regulate pelvic inflammation and improve uterine lining receptivity.
Dermatology: Used for acne reduction and post-surgical tissue regeneration.
The Erchonia PL-Touch is a handheld, low-level cold laser used by chiropractors and other healthcare professionals to treat chronic pain and reduce inflammation.
Key Features & Design
Dual-probe system: Two removable, featherweight energy-delivery probes.
Quad-diode configuration: Four patented 635 nm red line-generated laser diodes split across the two probes for simultaneous treatment coverage.
Touchscreen interface: An intuitive full-color touchscreen with customizable treatment protocols.
Lightweight build: Micro-textured anodized aircraft aluminum enclosure; the entire unit weighs under 2 pounds.
How It Works
Low-level light therapy: Non-thermal light energy is safely absorbed into the targeted tissue without burning, scarring or discomfort.
Cellular response: The light stimulates cellular energy production, increases circulation and helps decrease inflammation to support the body’s natural healing process.
Painless sessions: No downtime and no known side effects — patients resume normal activities immediately.

Laser Therapy Treatment in the Boston Area
Depending on your health issue, our team may suggest using Laser Therapy Treatment to help treat affected areas on your body. This can be extremely valuable in your treatment and get you feeling better, quicker. During your appointments, we’ll discuss if Laser Therapy options and if it make sense for your care.
Laser therapy causes chemical reactions at the cellular level. The photon energy accelerates the healing process, increases metabolism and improves circulation at the site of injury. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of acute pain and injury, inflammation, chronic pain and post-operative conditions. It has also been shown to accelerate the healing of damaged nerves, tendons and muscle tissue.
Also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy, this treatment uses specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by your body’s cells. That light energy helps the mitochondria — the “power plants” of your cells — produce more ATP, the fuel cells use to repair themselves. Because the laser stimulates the tissue rather than heating it, there’s no burning, scarring or downtime.
