Scalar Wave Laser: Supportive Low Level & Cold Laser Science and Clinical Studies

To date there are nearly 4000 Proof Positive Clinical Studies and Research Paperers that reveal beyond a shadow of a doubt that Low Level Laser Therapy and Cold Laser Therapy are effective at treating a wide range of conditions that were previously untreatable, except through drugs and surgery.

Below is a short summary of what Cold Laser Equipment is being successfully used for so that you can start to see the big picture:
