“The Chattanooga® Cube is the most advanced therapeutic laser in the industry, that I’ve seen. Not only is the technology in the components and output a necessity for the longevity of a product, it helps to allow for the most optimal and consistent treatments to the patients. The proprietary algorithm is programmed based on the evaluated specifics of the device, including wavelengths, power, frequency and body region – not just speculation as in other devices. With the optional hands free applicator and cart combination, it allows me to deliver the high power necessary for dosage to larger surface areas and tissue depth. The intelligent multi-phase programming takes all of the guess work out delivering the most comprehensive high power laser treatments; addressing the entire dysfunction of the condition such as pain, inflammation, and tissue healing.”

Laser Therapy Applications
Laser therapy is a light source treatment using a
specific wavelength of light that can penetrate
through the skin. The Laser probe emits a
concentrated beam of light radiation that is
transmitted into the body and interacts with the
tissue at a cellular level, helping to influence the
development of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
The light energy, when absorbed by the cells, is
transformed into biochemical energy that stimulates
cell metabolism and local blood circulation. This is
called “photo-biostimulation”.*
