Far Infrared Deep Penetrating Light (DPL) Heat Therapy

DPL™ Therapy System Is FDA Approved for the Treatment of Pain, Relief of Muscle and Joint Aches, Sprains, Back Pain and the Pain and Stiffness Associated with Arthritis.

Light therapy has been shown in over 40 years of independent research worldwide to deliver powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissues and organisms. Both visible RED and INFRARED light have been shown to affect at least 24 different positive changes at a cellular level. Visible RED light at a wavelength of 660nm penetrates tissue to a depth of about 8-10 mm. It is very beneficial in treating problems close to the surface of the skin such as wounds, cuts, scars, and treating infection. INFRARED light at 880nm penetrates to a depth of about 30-40 mm which makes it more effective for bones, joints and deep muscle problems.

The DPL™ System uses a form of energy called “Photons” to penetrate deep into the body easing pain and repairing damaged tissues. The DPL™ Therapy System is a non-invasive, drug free therapy which can be applied to your specific and individual needs.

The Science Behind DPL Therapy

Evidence indicates that cells absorb photons and transform their energy into “adenosine triphosphate” (ATP), the form of energy that cells utilize. The resulting ATP is then used to power metabolic processes; synthesize DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and other products needed to repair or regenerate cell components; foster mitosis or cell proliferation; and restore homeostasis.

NASA Space Technology Shines Light on Healing

"Doctors at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee have discovered the healing power of light with the help of technology developed for NASA's Space Shuttle. Using powerful light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, originally designed for commercial plant growth research in space, scientists have found a way to help patients here on Earth. Doctors are examining how this special lighting technology helps hard-to-heal wounds, such as diabetic skin ulcers, serious burns, and severe oral sores caused by chemotherapy and radiation. The project includes laboratory and human trials, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and funded by a NASA Small Business Innovation Research contract through the Technology Transfer Department at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala..." -- December 18, 2000, NASA, read report

Light Emitting Diodes Aid in Wound Healing

"Powerful light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been shown to help heal wounds in laboratory animals and are now being tested on humans at the Medical College of Wisconsin. The LEDs were developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to spur plant life in space. Harry T. Whelan, MD, Professor of Neurology, Pediatrics, and Hyperbaric Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin, found that diabetic skin ulcers and other wounds in mice healed much faster when exposed to the special LEDs in the lab. Laboratory research has shown that the LEDs also grow human muscle and skin cells up to five times faster than normal..." -- November 11, 2000, Healthlink,  read article

University of Wisconsin Research

"Space light-emitting diode (LED) technology has provided medicine with a new tool capable of delivering light deep into tissues of the body, at wavelengths which are biologically optimal for cancer treatment and wound healing. This LED technology has already flown on Space Shuttle missions, and shows promise for wound healing applications of benefit to Space Station astronauts, and in Special Operations..." -- 2001-2004, University of Wisconsin, see links to reports

Far Infrared Heat Benefits Derived by Using DPL™ Therapy

1. Increase Vascularity: By increasing the formation of new capillaries, which are additional blood vessels that replace damaged ones. New capillaries speed up the healing process by carrying more oxygen as well as more nutrients needed for healing and they can also carry more waste products away.
2. Increase Lymphatic System Activity: Research has shown that the lymph vessel diameter and the flow of the lymph system can be doubled with the use of light therapy. The venous diameter and the arterial diameters can also be increased. This means that both parts of edema (liquid and protein) can be evacuated at a much faster rate to relieve swelling.
3. Stimulate the Release of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP): Increases in ATP allows cells to accept nutrients faster and get rid of waste products faster by increasing the energy level in the cell.
4. Increase RNA and DNA Synthesis: This helps damaged cells to be replaced more promptly.
5. Stimulate Tissue Granulation and Connective Tissue Projections: These are part of the healing process of wounds, ulcers or inflamed tissue.
6. Stimulate Endorphins and Enkephalins: These are produced in the brain as well as chemicals from other areas of the body like adrenals which facilitate long term pain relief.
