INTRODUCTION
Laser therapy is based mostly on
photochemical and photo-biological eects
on cells and tissues. Observations have
shown that if the laser light is supplied
in the right quantities, you will obtain a
stimulation of certain cellular functions,
especially in the presence of cells with
functional deficiencies. The biological
action in using Laser therapy produces a
series of eects on the cells in function
of a “stimulating” action on mitochondrial
functions with a higher production of ATP.
Expect the following eects on tissues
treated with TheraTouch LX2 laser therapy:
• Increased local blood circulation
• Acceleration of tissue healing
• Stimulation of the fibroblast cells
• Increase in collagen deposition
TheraTouch LX2 carries out an important
therapeutic action for the acceleration
of the healing process. Furthermore, it
is indicated for the treatment of painful
articular, muscle, neurogenic and soft
tissue syndromes.
The operator, in fact, should be qualified
to be able to use such equipment, and
should have passed an adapted training,
or should operate under the control of a
medical professional adequately qualified
to the use of the equipment, in order to
guarantee safety conditions to the patient.
INDICATIONS
The following indications can be treated
with TheraToch LX2 laser therapy:
• Temporary increase in local blood
circulation
• Temporary relief of minor muscle and
joint pain and stiness
• Muscle relaxation
• Temporary relief of muscle spasm
• Temporary relief of arthritis pain
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Direct radiation in the eye: Class 3B
Lasers are potentially dangerous for
the retina. The special safety goggles
supplied with the machine must be
worn by both patient and the operator.
• Pregnancy: LLLT should not be
administered over the low back,
abdomen or pelvic area during
pregnancy,
• Neoplasms: you must not use laser
on a primary lesion or on pain of
unknown etiology. Laser treatment
may be granted to relieve pain during
the terminal stage of disease, it is
recommended that this be performed
only with the full consent of the patient.
• Thyroid: the laser should never be used
in this area.
• Over areas of hemorrhage.
• Immuno-suppresive therapy: Any
patient who has undergone any type of
drug therapy related to this ailment.
• Treatments over the sympathetic
ganglia, the vagus nerve and region of
the heart in patients with heart disease:
laser therapy can significantly alter
the neural function, and is therefore
contraindicated in this regions body
patients with heart disease.
• Atopic dermatitis and eczema in the
acute phase
4
PRECAUTIONARY INSTRUCTIONS
INTENDED USE

• Photosensitive patients, or those taking
photosensitizing medications
• Recent surgery or cryotherapy areas
and inflammation.
PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
• Some patients are more sensitive
to laser output (i.e., patients taking
medications orally or topically that
increase sensitivity to light) and may
experience a reaction similar to a heat
rash or skin burn.
• Be sure to inspect the treatment area
during and following treatment, and
discontinue if an adverse reaction does
occur.
LASER THERAPY PARAMETER
DEFINITIONS
Continuous Mode – The output of the
laser light is not interrupted during the
treatment time.
Dosage – A measure of the intensity of the
laser light energy over the treatment area.
The unit of measure are Joules or
Joules/cm2/J/diode.
Energy – Measured in Joules, energy
equals the treatment time multiplied
by the power. More importantly, Energy
Density equals the power output
multiplied by the treatment time, and
divided by the spot size (cm2). This gives
a more specific measurement of energy
delivered.
Frequency – Determines the number of
laser pulses delivered per second during
a pulsed treatment and is measured in
Hz. Depending on the frequency selected,
this will determine the amount of pauses
between laser pulses.
Power - A rate in which energy is
produced. For LLLT, it is measured in
Milliwatts or Watts. Higher power levels
result in reduced treatment times and
deeper penetration.
Power Density - The average power per
unit area of the beam size. It is determined
by dividing the power level of the laster
by the area of the beam. The beam is
fixed and smaller areas will produce a
higher power density because the light is
concentrated over a smaller area.
Pulsed Mode - Decreases the overall
power level proportional to the frequency
selected.
Beam Area (spot size) – Area of the laser
beam when it leaves the face of the lens.
Measurements –
• Joules per laser diode
• Joules
• Joules per cm2
Duty Cycle – Fixed in pulse mode at 90%

THERATOUCH® LX2, FRONT THERATOUCH® LX2, REAR
CONTACT
For most eective results, the applicator
should be in contact with the patient's skin
and may require multiple applications around
the treatment area.
APPLICATOR SELECTION
For very small treatment areas, treat with the
single diode applicator. For areas that are
sensitive, use the single applicator first, then
use the cluster applicator.
PRE & POST TREATMENT
Cold: If treating with cold therapy as part of
the treatment regimen, apply cold therapy
prior to laser treatment as it reduces the
energy that is removed from the area and
slows the flow of red blood cells.
HOT
If treating with hot therapy as part of the
treatment regimen, apply heat after laser
treatment as it increases the energy and can
be removed from the area by speeding up
the flow of red blood cells.
