The Microlight ML830 started everything
27 years ago. It was developed in 1985, by
leading European doctors and engineers
and was brought to the USA in 1990. It was
the first 3B laser cleared by the FDA in 2002.

WHAT IT IS
The Microlight ML830® is a handheld noninvasive, lightemitting medical device. Cleared by the FDA for sale and
use in the treatment of a variety of soft and connective
tissue disorders as well as certain neurological disorders,
this device is a low energy laser also known as a “cold
laser.” In contrast to general surgical or cosmetic lasers
that produce heat and thermo-destructive laser energy,
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) produces no harm to
human tissue in normal use and thus is classified by the
FDA as a Class IIIB medical device. Cold lasers
The ML830® is a GaAlA Laser that has
wavelength of 830 nm with a power output
of 90 mw. At this wavelength and power
the ML830® Laser has a penetration of
approximately 5 cm with a 3 cm lateral spread.

ML830 produces infrared (invisible) laser
light at the 830 nm wavelength via three
LASER diodes. A fourth visible LED (LightEmitting Diode) is used to provide a visible
red target light field for the clinician to target the desired
tissue area. As a noninvasive contact medical device,

WHAT IT DOES
HOW IT WORKS
Through the action of photo-stimulation of light
reactive biological receptors (chromophores) in the
body, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has demonstrated
the ability to significantly accelerate and enhance the
body’s natural defense and repair components in the
presence of injury, inflammation and certain disease
processes. By modifying the effects and limiting the
duration of inflammation as well as enhancing specific
repair and healing processes, LLLT is consistent in
providing pain relief, reducing injury damage and loss
of function, in addition to facilitating more rapid repair
and stronger healed tissue structures.
As the light receptive chromophores in various tissues,
in both cellular and sub-cellular locations, are
irradiated with coherent laser light, energy transfers
occur that stimulate more active levels of function and
increased interaction. Laser light, penetrating much
deeper than other light wave forms, activates increased
mitochondrial ATP synthesis, produces increased mast
cell inflammatory mitigation and stimulates increased
Ca2+ ion presence and beneficial reactive oxygen
species (ROS) production.
Published medical studies world wide report the
following results of LLLT:
• Increased collagen production
• Enhanced nerve regeneration
• Increased vasodilation
• Reduced inflammatory duration
• Increased cell metabolism
• Increased pain threshold
Through the action of photo bio-stimulation, oxidative
metabolism is increased via cytochrome C oxidase and
photosensitization of hemoglobin. Laser irradiation
stimulates increased endorphin release and increased
prostaglandin synthesis. Due to the powerful effect
photo- stimulated enzymes exert, both localized
and systemic cascade reactions occur that result in
immunomodulation and inflammatory mitigation.
Damaged skeletal, connective and neurological
tissues and structures react with enhanced healing in
the presence of low level laser irradiation as collagen

produced by other wavelengths. This
unique ability to stimulate greater
response is the key to 830nm laser
therapy.
Laser therapy has been used by leading
scientists and clinicians around the
world for over 30 years. In Japan,
where laser therapy is considered a
preferred medical practice, Dr. Noriko
Mochizuki et al published a clinical
study on the effect of laser therapy and
ATP production.
synthesis and production, satellite cell presence and
cellular metabolism are increased as a result of the
light stimulation and improved vascular, lymphatic and
enzymatic activity.
Why Use The 830nm
Wavelength?
When evaluating the sometimes confusing and varied
choices in low level lasers , the question is frequently
asked, “why is the 830nm wavelength better”? The
answer to this question is essentially one of penetration
and delivered energy. In the treatment of soft and
connective tissue injuries and disorders, the goal is to
deliver the most effective laser wavelength to the target
tissue.
Some 30+ years of scientific study and clinical research
has provided us with detailed information on the
reaction of biologic organelles to laser light. It has also
shown us which wavelengths penetrate most deeply and
what energy levels effect biological processes in the
most desirable manner. We need to fully understand the
relationship between the depth (from the skin surface) of
the target tissue and the ability of the therapeutic laser
light to reach that tissue.
We now have ample clinical evidence that in contrast
to other wavelengths, the 830 nm laser light produces
specific beneficial biological reactions that are not
In that study, the scientists found that
tissue levels of ATP were significantly
increased when the target area was
irradiated with 830nm wavelength
laser light. The study further stated
that this beneficial increase in
ATP production was not the result of temperature
modification, but rather a direct response to the effect
of laser light photons.

LASER
THERAPY
Laser therapy has been successfully used around
the world for over 25 years, with no reported
long-term or irreversible side effects.
What is LLLT?
LLLT (Low level laser therapy) is a painless, sterile, noninvasive, drug-free treatment which is used to treat a variety
of pain syndromes, injuries, wounds, fractures, neurological
conditions and pathologies. Laser therapy can be used
any time a patient
requests or needs a
drug free procedure
for the control of pain,
when
conventional
therapies have been
ineffective, or when the
acceleration of healing
from injuries is desired.
the skin’s layers (the dermis, epidermis and the
subcutaneous tissue or tissue fat under the skin) at all
wavelengths in the visible range. However, light waves
in the near infrared ranges penetrate the deepest of all
light waves in the visible spectrum. When low level laser
light waves penetrate deeply into the skin, they optimize
the immune responses of our blood. This has both antiinflammatory and immunostimulate effects. It is a scientific
fact that light transmitted to the blood in this way has
positive effects throughout the whole body, supplying vital
oxygen and energy to every cell.
What to Expect During a Laser
Therapy Treatment Session
For most people, laser therapy is quite passive. There are no
pulsating shocks felt, as in forms of electronic stimulation,
nor heat used as with ultrasounds. The most noticeable
sensation is the touch of the probe head of the laser, as it
comes in contact with the skin.
How Does Laser Light Heal?
Following (and even during) a laser therapy session,
approximately 75-80% of patients being treated can notice
an immediate improvement in their condition. This will
depend primarily on the type of condition and the length of
time the condition has been present.
Low level lasers supply energy to the body in the form of
non-thermal photons of light. Light is transmitted through

Benefits of LLLT to Users
√ Relieves acute and chronic pains
Around the world,
laser therapy is rapidly
becoming a medical
therapy that can heal
wounds and fractures
up to 60% faster and
also reduce the cost
of treatment for many conditions. In the U.K., LLLT has
become the treatment of choice for soft tissue “whiplash”
injuries and for the treatment of painful post-herpetic
neuralgia (shingles pain).
Healing with the use of light is not new. Light therapy was
reported to be effective for many conditions by Hippocrates.
With the development of the laser and its special properties,
using light as a treatment has gained more popularity. This
is because we can now use specific wavelengths of light
and give accurately measured doses of energy directly to
the appropriate treatment site, which was not possible with
other light sources.
The Physiological
Effects of LLLT
Some patients (3-5% of those undergoing light therapy)
have reported a slight tingling or tapping in a nerve or
along a nerve pathway. Some have noted that they are
able to sense a slight feeling of warmth. But for the most
part, the treatment, which may last from 2 to 20 minutes,
is not noticed at all.
Generally, the more chronic or severe the condition, the
longer it takes to respond. The majority of conditions
treated will take anywhere from 4-5 or 10-18 treatments.
Once again, the number of treatments depends upon the
severity of the condition and its duration. If your condition
does not change immediately, it may take 3-4 sessions
before a dramatic or marked change is perceived.
√ Increases the speed, quality and
tensile strength of tissue repair
√ Increases blood supply
√ Stimulates the immune system
√ Stimulates nerve function
√ Develops collagen and
muscle tissue
√ Helps generate new and
healthy cells and tissue
√ Promotes faster wound healing
and clot formation
√ Reduces inflammation
Warnings on Class IV Lasers
According to the FDA, Class IV Lasers can cause immediate
skin hazard and eye hazard from exposure to either the
direct or reflected beam; may also present a fire hazard.

Difference between Lasers, LED
& SLD light devices
Some manufacturers produce devices with super luminous
diodes (SLD) or light emitting diodes (LED). Monochromatic
non-coherent light can be helpful for superficial wound
healing, however, numerous studies have shown that lasers
are far more effective due to their unique properties and
penetration depth. Many super luminous & light emitting
diode products are usually very low powered (typically
5mW-15mW), and much of this energy is scattered,
therefore requiring longer treatment times.
See the chart below to see how typical light penetrates the
skin. LED’s will normally penetrate less then 1cm. SLD’s
are more powerful and can penetrate about 2.5 cm. But
Lasers at 830nm can penetrate 5 cm. Far more effective
then SLD’s or LED’s.
The new FDA “NHN” code implies that NHN devices treat
pain by means other than the mere topical heating of tissue,
and studies show this to be true. The new treatment is with
true laser diodes (which are “NHN”) as opposed to light
emitting diodes or LED’s (which are “ILY”).
Why buy a NHN (non thermal)
FDA Cleared Laser?
Safe, proven, affordable & well documented since 1985.
ILY devices (LED & Class IV Lasers) are nothing more then
glorrified heating pads, whose primarily results are based
on thermal heat.

NHN (non thermal) FDA
Clearance:
FDA Clearances - LED vs Laser
The FDA uses a set of product codes (“procodes”) to
classify LED and laser devices for review and clearance.
One of those codes is “ILY.” Another is “NHN.” Why does
the FDA use these codes, and what are the differences
between them?
The FDA explains that it designates a device “ILY” only if the
following is true:
For devices requesting clearance for indications under
the ILY procode, that is, devices that use thermal energy
to provide pain relief through local heating, we [at the
FDA] require that these devices demonstrate the ability
to generate temperatures of 40-42o C at the treatment
site for a duration of 5-10 minutes.
From these criteria and the ILY title “Infrared Lamp” it is
clear that ILY devices treat pain with heat, the same way as
electric heating pads, hot packs or sunlamps.

When the MicroLight ML830 was cleared, the FDA added
a new code, “NHN,” and its title is “Lamp, Non-Heating,
For Adjunctive Use In Pain Therapy.”

FIBRO
MYLAGIA
FIBROMYLAGIA
SHINING A LIGHT ON FM:
Low Level Laser Therapy
(FULL ARTICLE CAN BE VIEWED AT
www.ml830wholesale.com)
On the basis of my clinical observations of patients
with (and without) fibromylagia, I have seen that at its
core, FM is a disease of abnormal pain processing in
the caudate nuclei of the thalamus. This area of the
midbrain, through which essentially all pain impulses
travel, becomes “hyperirritable” to incoming pain
impulses (via a process known as wind-up) over time,
after some type of peripheral injury in mostly geneticallysusceptible individuals. This injury is almost always the
development of muscle trigger points (TPs) in myofascial
pain syndrome.
Myofascial pain syndrome is defined as pain at the site of
active trigger points, referred pain to predictable areas,
and associated muscle dysfunction. A myofascial trigger
point is a hyperirritable spot, usually within a taut band
of skeletal muscle that is painful on precise compression,
and that can give rise to characteristic referred pain,
tenderness, and atomic or other epiphenomena. Trigger
points can be active, latent, primary, secondary, or
satellite.
This “hyperirritability” in FM patients if usually seen as a
near total-body alloying (the response to a stimulus as
painful, when the stimulus-such as light touch, wind, or
clothing is not perceived as painful in “normal subjects”).
This widespread alloying, combined with the pain from
active and latent trigger points, and limitations of the
range of motion of these affected muscles, can explain
most if not all the clinical symptoms of FM.
a reconditioning process needs to begin, tailored to
the patient’s specific weaknesses. This also includes
attention to the patient’s posture (which is often an
impoded one), trying to keep the center of gravity in
proper position.
I personally have seen the transition from myofascial pain
to FM a number of times, and I have seen FM diagnosed
in cases where patients actually had widespread
myofascial syndrome. This latter circumstance must be
recognized as it requires different treatments. In a patient
with widespread pain that has been chronic, all the
palpable trigger points must be found and inactivated
in one of a variety of ways, including injection, ischemic
pressure, acupuncture, heat, stretching, massage
therapy, body work, low level laser therapy, or microcurrent (this may require more than one visit).
LLLT has become the primary therapy I use to inactivate
®
TPs. I use the Microlight ML830 which has a power
rating of 90 milliwatts via three 30 milliwatt fiber bundles,
at a wavelength of 830 nanometers (this penetrates the
deepest: nearly three inches). As long as one wears the
appropriate glasses, it is risk-free and cannot burn the
skin or underlying tissues. It is a Class 111b laser (not
111a, which is a laser pointer, nor IV, which can be used
for surgery and can burn or set fires!).
In the past six years, use of the low level laser therapy
(LLLT) in all of my patients with FM (and most with
myofascial pain) has supplanted the use of TP in
injections in my clinical practice. While this adds some
time to the office visit, it is well worth it in the reduction
in risk, increase in efficacy, and reduction in cost of the
treatment.
The LLLT inactivates the TP pain, allowing for heat and
stretching to further the patient’s progress. The muscles
have memory, and therefore a major part of the therapy
for myofascial pain includes in-office as well as at home
application of heat (not ice packs that will reactivate the
TPs) and stretching , once the TPs have been inactivated
with the LLLT. As the patient’s pain begins to decline,
The LLLT inactivates trigger
point pain, allowing for heat
and stretching to further the
patient’s progress.
The LLLT also results in an increased production of
energy compounds from the cell’s mitochondria, which
are then available for improved healing of the cell/tissue.
All of these, over time with the mechanical treatment of
posture control, muscle stretching and reduction, and
reconditioning lead to a significant reduction in pain
and improvement in function. Patients with FM see a
gradual reduction in their overall FM symptoms (though
not without setbacks, which is typical in treatment of
most chronic conditions). If necessary, some of the relief
from these symptoms can be helped along with a proper
stretching and reconditioning home exercise program.
Recently, I have begun to see an increase in FM patients
coming to my practice specifically to receive treatment
with the low level laser. Any practitioner who is licensed
by the their state to treat patients can purchase this
device. Numerous boards that supervise massage
therapists and chiropractors have begun to include this
therapy in the scope of practice of their licenses. Even
some of the major insurance companies have begun to
pay for the treatments!

TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS
Techniques, Pitfalls, and
Alternatives with Cold Laser
A myofascial trigger point is defined as a hyperirritable
spot, usually within a taut band of skeletal muscle that is
painful on precise compression, and that can give rise to
characteristic referred pain, tenderness, and autonomic
or other epiphenomena. They can be active, latent,
primary, secondary, or satellite. Twitch responses are
usual. They are found at areas with high concentrations
of endplate. An illustration of a dysfunctional endplate
region is shown in (Figure 1) and represents a site at
which either a trigger point injection or inactivation with
a low-level laser would be effective.
syringomyelia when there is no sympathetic innervations
of one arm.
Fibromyalgia, on the other hand, is a very different
condition. While, in my experience, all fibromyalgia
patients have myofascial pain with associated trigger
points, not all myofascial pain patients have fibromyalgia.
The fibromyalgia syndrome involves central sensitization
at the caudate nuclei of the thalamus in the mid brain.
This central sensitization results in widespread allodynia
(the perception of pain in response to a normally nonpainful stimulus). These patients also demonstrate
numerous neuroendocrine abnormalities, primarily
involving the hypothalamo-pituitaryadrenal axis. An
injury can develop into a chronic process of either
myofascial pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, or CRPS as
illustrated in (Figure 2).
In the treatment of chronic pain, we all know that the
patient’s symptom of pain is very subjective. However,
trigger points and their referred pain are objective, and
can be consistently demonstrated by a trained clinician.
What is most important in the treatment of chronic
pain is making the proper diagnosis. Without the proper
diagnosis, treatments are frequently unsuccessful and
may, in fact, lead to a far more complicated problem.
Trigger Point Inactivation
Myofascial Pain Syndrome vs Fibromyalgia
Myofascial pain syndrome is defined as pain at the site
of active trigger points and referred pain to predictable
areas along with associated muscle dysfunction. It is a
regional syndrome that may involve many regions. It
is clear to me, based on nearly 20 years experience,
that the sympathetic nervous system is involved in the
referred pain patterns. In a clinical setting, this can be
clearly demonstrated in patients with cervical or thoracic
Trigger point inactivation can be achieved a number of
ways. These techniques can include injection, ischemic
pressure, acupuncture, heat, stretching, massage
therapy, body work, low level laser therapy, as well as the
use of microcurrent. For the first 15 years of my practice,
trigger point injections were the primary modality in the
treatment of myofascial pain as described in my guest
editorial in the October 2006 issue of Practical Pain
Management. In the past six years, I have gradually
begun to use low level laser therapy as the primary
modality for inactivating trigger points in my practice.
It is extremely important not to just simply inactivate the
trigger point and do nothing else. It is very important
to use heat and gentle stretching immediately after
inactivating the trigger points and having the patient
follow up with home stretching and application of heat.
In terms of discussing trigger point injections, there are
number of areas that need to be covered:
• Solution makeup • Tools • Treatment sequence •
Quantity and frequency • Post-treatment • Pitfalls and
complications
Low Level Laser for Inactivating
Trigger Points
In my practice, over the past five years, my primary
method of inactivating trigger points has become the
infra-red low level laser. It is effective, essentially risk
free, and less expensive for the patient. In addition, as
the energy compounds (cyclic AMP, primarily) produced
in the mitochondria and distributed around the cell
are increased, the muscle cells will heal faster thus
shortening the overall time until symptoms are relieved.

The unit I use is the Microlight ML830 . It has three
30mw laser beams that slightly converge and cover
approximately one square centimeter at a depth of
5 centimeters from the skin surface. The unit delivers
nine joules/square centimeter over 96 seconds. It is a
Class IIIb laser and non-heating to the tissues—unlike a
Class IV laser that can burn tissue. Aside from having to
wear appropriate glasses to protect the eyes, the unit is
otherwise risk-free.

Diverse Applications for
Low Level Laser Therapy in
Oncology Practice
Katherine Neubauer, N.D.
There are multiple advantages to implementing LLLT in
oncology practice. Foremost, patients appreciate having
nothing to swallow. Because LLLT may also lower the
need for pain medication, laser therapy may provide a
number of benefits. Obviously LLLT will not cause the
constipation that opioids do. Perhaps more importantly,
LLLT does not have the sedating action of most pain
medications, allowing for increased alert quality time
with family, which is especially precious to patients
with advanced cancers. LLLT has no interactions with
other oncology treatments, so it can be used when
other treatments are precluded by interaction concerns.
Considering these benefits to oncology patients, we are
currently exploring the addition of LLLT here at CTCA.
Properly-administered laser treatment is painless and
does not damage the skin. Best results occur with
multiple treatments. Insurance reimbursement in the
range of $45 per treatment area may be available via
category III CPT codes. 88
Most LLLT treatments in the United States last 2-5
minutes per treatment area, with some authors raising
the theory that shorter treatments biostimulate while
longer treatments suppress. The Arndt-Schulz rule and
some clinical evidence suggest a biphasic dose-response
curve favoring frequent, brief treatments, though the
ideal treatment schedule has not been conclusively
established.
When purchasing a laser therapy system, consider the
FDA approval category and wavelength. FDA approval
categories describe the laser’s documented mechanism
of action. NHN approval indicates that a laser has
been proven to biostimulate cells via increases in ATP
®
production. Example is the Microlight ML830 laser.
Conclusion
LLLT offers a variety of benefits to the oncology patient
and the naturopathic physician. Advantages include
robust scientific evidence, brief treatment time, diverse
clinical indications, and patient comfort.

ML830® therapy provides pain
relief and faster healing for
U.S. Olympians and Olympic
Hopefuls
®
“The ML830 is the best modality
for sports injuries I have ever
used.”
Donna Jones, Athletic Trainer
Texas A&M University,
College Station, TX
®
SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Thanks to the ML830 , a
breakthrough, non-invasive laser device, injured Olympic
athletes and Olympic hopefuls now will be able to get back
into training and competition faster. Hand-held and fully
®
portable, ML830 can be used anywhere, from the training
rooms to competition venues.
“The best modality I have used in
20 years of practice.”
®
The ML830 was in trials during 2003 in the sports
medicine departments of the U.S. Olympic Training Centers
in Colorado Springs, Colo. and Chula Vista, Calif. It has
now been approved by both facilities and will be introduced
at the training center in Lake Placid, N.Y. by March 2004.
Bob Clair, PT
Plano, TX
®
“The effect of the ML830 on injured athletes has been
impressive,” said Edward Ryan III, ATC and Director of
Sports Medicine for U.S. Olympic Training Centers. “With
®
ML830 treatment, athletes have experienced significant
relief from pain and increased range of motion – particularly
in the acute phases of injury. We have also seen a reduction
in healing time for many conditions. This will be of particular
benefit to athletes preparing for and competing in Athens
this summer, when providing pain relief will be most critical.
®
ML830 is a welcome new tool for our treatment and
recovery regimens.”
®
“The ML830 laser has allowed
me to increase my population of
patients with amazing results.”
Sue Hale, MSPT
Melbourne, FL

®
The ML830 is a cold (non-thermal) infrared laser device.
Its 830 nanometer wavelength penetrates up to two inches
below the skin’s surface, without producing heat, to stimulate
photo- reactive cellular receptors, known as chromophores.
The energy of laser photons prompts these structures
to dramatically accelerate natural healing processes in
compromised cells, normalizing pain thresholds, optimizing
cellular functions, increasing micro-vascularization and
speeding the rate of tissue repair. The result is diminished
pain, reduced inflammation, decreased edema, faster
healing times and an increase in the tensile strength of
repaired tissues.
“The ML830 is the original and
most researched laser on the
market. It is the best modality”
Isa Herrera, MSPT, CSCS

®
When the Microlight ML830 is directed on a wound,
photons are deposited in cells stimulating the tissuehealing process.
This is important with scar tissue
buildup becuase the body “thinks” the wound is repaired.
However, scar tissue will respond to a low energy laser
beam by absorbing photons that directly stimulate and
continue the healing process.

CLASS IV
WARNING
What is a Class IV Laser?
FDA - Description of Class IV Laser (Laser Product Hazard): Immediate skin hazard and
eye hazard from exposure to either the direct or reflected beam; may also present a FIRE
HAZARD
Wikepedia: Class IV/4 lasers CAN BURN SKIN, and in some cases, even scattered light
can cause eye and/or skin damage.
Europe (EN & IEC): Class IV is the highest class of laser radiation. Radiation in this class
is very dangerous, and viewing of the diffused reflection may be dangerous. Class 4 laser
beams are CAPABLE OF SETTING FIRE to materials onto which they are projected.
Are they safe?
No, they are very dangerous. You should be very careful if you decide to buy one of these
lasers. There is a reason the FDA classified them as Class IV lasers.
Class IIIa & IIIb lasers generate no heat, and are proven (20+ years) of being VERY SAFE.
They are commonly referred to as “Cold Lasers”.They can be used for an unlimited amount
of time, without generating heat or causing harm to your patients.
Class IV lasers are VERY DIFFERENT. If you use one of these devices for several minutes,
you could cause serious harm to your patients. Most Class IV operating guides, warn about
prolonged exposure. They consider a few minutes, prolonged exposure.
Buyer Beware
Class IV lasers sell between $15,000 – $50,000 and pose a potential risk to your patients,
insurance, and your business. So if safety and results are both important to you, buy a non
thermal (NHN) FDA cleared laser.
If they were “Cold Lasers”, why
the warning? “Cold Lasers” do
not produce any heat and can be
used for any duration of time.
Only Cold Lasers have the safety rating by the FDA as non-significant risk device, meaning
that it is extremely safe for human application. Plus Cold Lasers have been used and tested
around the world for over 35 years in over 30 countries.

The FDA Cleared ML830 Powers
Patriots’ Super Bowl Victory
The New England Patriots won Super Bowl XXXVIII with some help from a little
known form of laser technology that could change the way athletic injuries and
chronic pain are treated.
In the week preceding the Super Bowl, Boston based registered nurse Ellen
Spicuzza treated more than 10 Patriot players with cold laser therapy for tendon
and muscle injuries.
“A couple of days prior to the Super Bowl weekend, I treated [Patriot wide
receiver] David Givens, who had a locked-up hamstring,” she said. She rotated
the $4,000, pen-like laser over the “belly” of his hamstring muscle for about five
minutes, she said. “The laser released it.”
Spicuzza, an independent nurse/physical therapist in Boston, usually treats Patriot
players’ injuries with medical massage. For the big game, she for the first time
used low level laser therapy on the athletes’ most troublesome pain spots. “I
don’t think [the improved recoveries were] a
coincidence,” Spicuzza said. “It did help. I
used it on a flared-up sciatic nerve, and the
INDEX
player had relief soon after treatment.”
