Bioptron Light Therapy
The BIOPTRON Light Therapy System is a patented light therapy medical device with a specific optical unit emitting light that is similar to the part of the electromagnetic spectrum produced naturally by the sun but with no UV radiation.
BIOPTRON Light Therapy can act in a natural way by supporting the regenerative and rebalancing capacities of the body and therefore help the body release its own healing potential. Once delivered to the tissues, the light energy promotes the process of biostimulation. Indications: Wound Healing Pain Treatment Rheumatology Physiotherapy Sports Medicine
User-friendly and non-pharmaceutical therapy BIOPTRON technology became widely used and accepted in medicine as a user-friendly, effective, non-pharmacological medical device. In over 15 years of clinical research worldwide, it has been shown to be supportive in conservative management of acute and chronic injuries as well as in post-operative wounds. BIOPTRON Light has biostimulative effects: when applied to the skin it stimulates light-sensitive intracellular structures and molecules. This initiates cellular chain reactions and triggers so-called secondary responses, which are not only limited to the treated skin area, but can involve the whole body.
The use of BIOPTRON Light as a therapeutic tool has been popular in a variety of applications since its development more than 15 years ago.
The BIOPTRON devices are medical devices used under professional conditions at hospitals, specialist institutions, wellness and sports centres and as well at home. The BIOPTRON devices have an innovative technology and are designed to be user-friendly for everyone. Floor stands are available for each device and allow convenient positioning according to the individual user's needs. In this way, each part of the body is easily treatable, providing the user with a relaxed, enjoyable treatment. Differing only in size and design, all three devices have the same physical light characteristics and thus an identical beneficiary effect on the human organism. All BIOPTRON Light Therapy devices are made in Switzerland.
BIOPTRON Light: is polarized light: its waves move (oscillate) in parallel planes. The light emitted by the BIOPTRON devices reaches a polarization degree of 95%. is a polychromatic light. This means it contains not only one wavelength (like laser light) but a wide range, including visible light and a portion of the infrared range. The wavelength of BIOPTRON Light ranges from 480 nm to 3,400 nm. the electromagnetic spectrum does not contain UV radiation! unlike laser light BIOPTRON Light is incoherent, or out-of phase light. This means that the light waves are not synchronized. has a low energy density. This energy density has biostimulative effects and allows the light to stimulate various biological processes in the body in a positive way.
Wound Healing: BIOPTRON Light Therapy can be used as monotherapy and/or as complementary therapy for wound healing in the following indications:
Wounds after a trauma (injuries) 
Pain Treatment:
BIOPTRON Light Therapy can be used as monotherapy and/or as complementary therapy for pain treatment in the following indications: Rheumatology Physiotherapy Low back pain Shoulder and neck pain Carpal tunnel syndrome Scar tissue Musculoskeletal injuries
Sports medicine - soft tissue injuries of muscles, tendons and ligaments like: 
General Benefits:
BIOPTRON Light Therapy can be used both as a complementary treatment to support conventional medical methods and as monotherapy for certain indications. BIOPTRON Light Therapy can: Improve microcirculation Harmonize metabolic processes Reinforce the human defence system Stimulate regenerative and reparative processes of the entire organism Promote wound healing Relieve pain or decrease its intensity
The outstanding characteristics of BIOPTRON Light enable the light to penetrate not only the skin but also the underlying tissues. Thus the positive effect of BIOPTRON Light is not limited to the treated skin area but also has a beneficial effect on the entire organism. BIOPTRON Light has biostimulative effects: when applied to the skin, it stimulates light-sensitive intracellular structures and molecules. This initiates cellular chain reactions and triggers so-called secondary responses, which are not only limited to the treated skin area, but can involve the whole body. It stimulates and modulates reparative and regenerative processes as well as the processes of the human defence-system and acts in a natural way by supporting the regenerative capacity of the body and therefore helps the body to release its own healing potential. The BIOPTRON Light Therapy has become accepted as a new form of treatment in prevention, therapy and rehabilitation worldwide. Hippocrates′ healing philosophy has begun to re-influence the medical fields: "Primum non nocere" ("First, do no harm") and "Vis Medicatrix Naturae" ("Honour the healing power of nature").

Pain Relief/TENS
TENS – TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION TENS is used for both acute and long-term pain conditions, particularly when the pain originates in the joints, skeleton, muscles, skin, viscera or the nervous system – both nociceptive and neurogenic pain. The method has also proven to relieve pain and improve the healing of wounds in patients with peripheral circulation disorders, and is effective in treating nausea. TENS may be sufficient as the only treatment form, but it is also a valuable complement to other pharmacological and/or physical treatments. TENS can be combined with any other treatment form, from drugs to acupuncture. Muscle Stimulation/NMES NMES – NEUROMUSCULAR ELECTRO STIMULATION
Electrical muscle stimulation is an internationally well-established clinical physiotherapy treatment in fields like orthopedic and neurological rehabilitation. Applied to central or partial peripheral nerve damage, electrical stimulation can create motor responses in patients with reduced or lost capacity for voluntary muscular activity. The method is a complement to other physiotherapy, and should be combined with active training of mobility, strength, coordination and functional training. The method is simple and suited for clinic-based treatments and self-treatment at home. Examples of indications Neuromuscular facilitation – for example, postoperative quadriceps facilitation Maintenance or enhancement of the active scope of movement Capillarization Reduction of muscular atrophy/hypotrophy Maintenance of muscle strength during immobilization Prevention of postoperative muscle loss, for example in the vastus medialis Spasticity reduction, for example reciprocal inhibition of the flexor muscles in the arms of hemiplegics Training after partial peripheral nerve damage with signs of reinnervation, such as a plexus injury. Peroneus stimulation Incontinence treatment Pain relief Warm-up Enhancement of muscle strength Recovery
 
Compex’s revolutionary and exclusive muscle intelligence technology, which emerged from our research laboratories, automatically adjusts stimulation parameters to suit the physical characteristics of each user. The result of this personalised system is greater comfort for the patient and greater treatment efficiency.  A PERSONAL TOUCH…Compex’s non-invasive muscle intelligence™ technology ensures that the stimulation parameters used are tailored to each patient and each session. By minimising the energy required to achieve optimum results, treatments are more efficient and patients feel more at ease.
 INVOLVING THE PATIENT...By allowing patients to trigger their own muscle contractions, mi-ACTION ensures that patients take an active part in their treatment. Muscle stimulation can be easily combined with other exercises. By making sessions more interactive and pleasant, muscle intelligence™ is the key to including electrotherapy in your treatment protocols.
 SELF-REGULATING PAIN THERAPY…By constantly adjusting stimulation energies to ensure maximum effectiveness, mi-TENS eliminates the risk of unwanted muscle contractions that could offset the beneficial effects of TENS-type therapy. With mi-TENS, pain relief protocols are easier to implement and monitor.
 CONTROLLING ENERGY...Designed to maximise the effectiveness of low-frequency programmes (like endorphin programmes), the mi-RANGE function guides the user by indicating the minimum and maximum stimulation levels for optimal results.
Ice Power Cold Therapy 
IcePower cold gel effect is based on menthol and other ethereal oils, which lower the temperature of the skin by 7 degrees. The effect is promoted by recently discovered cold mediating menthol receptor (CMR1), which belongs into a group of skin thermoregulation receptors. Menthol receptor mediates the effect also to deeper tissues. The gel reduces the inflow of blood and tissue fluids, preventing the forming of swelling. The sooner the IcePower –Cold gel is used, the better the results. IcePower cold gel enables to perform cold therapy more often, which prolongs the effect of treatment.
The effectiveness of IcePower Cold gel is scientifically proven. It reduces pain and promotes recovery for soft tissue injury. The first trial in the world was carried out in Kuopio University in cooperation with university hospitals. The study with IcePower Gel was conducted by Dr. Olavi Airaksinen. A short report of the study has been published in publication of the American Academy of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. The clinical trial showed that the effectiveness of the IcePower cold gel begins immediately after application and decreases pain by half after one week of treatment.
The IcePower product line is a scientifically proven range of cold therapy products for both professional and home use. IcePower is made in Finland and it has been one the most popular pain winners since 1995.
IcePower product line contains a wide range of cold therapy products: traditional IcePower cold gel, IcePower Sport Spray for fast and easy pain relief, IcePower Hot warming gel, as well as products for first aid: IcePower instant cold pack, IcePower cold spray and reusable IcePower cold/hot pack. The most recent IcePower product is IcePower Arthro creme for joints. Five main benefits of IcePower cold therapy Pain relief Reduction of swelling and inflammation Restriction of the injured area Relaxation of muscle tension Recovery of the injury
Advanced Joint Care CH-Alpha™ with its revolutionary Bioactive Collagen Peptide™ formula is scientifically proven to regenerate cartilage in just 2 to 3 months without significant drug interactions or side effects. CH-Alpha™ is the only product in the U.S. patented for its proven method of regenerating cartilage. What is CH-Alpha™ ?
CH-Alpha™ contains Fortigel®, a unique collection of peptides and amino acids, which are the building blocks necessary for joint health. Unlike other supplements, CH-Alpha™ is a natural product with an amino acid composition that is nearly identical to the collagen found in the extracellular matrix in joints in the body. It is the only product proven to stimulate chondrocytes, which are responsible for the maintenance of the extracellular matrix. Studies have shown that CH-Alpha™ increases the concentration of type II collagen and proteoglycans through the effect it has on chondrocytes. How it Works
CH-Alpha™ is rich in a unique protein called collagen hydrolysate. Collagen hydrolysate contains high concentrations of the joint-building amino acids such as glycine and proline - key building blocks of type II collagen - which represents 90% to 95% of the collagen found in joint cartilage.
When you take CH-Alpha™, Bioactive Collagen Peptides™ are absorbed through the intestine during digestion. The collagen hydrolysate then passes into the bloodstream in the form of large chains of proteins and amino acids. From there, Bioactive Collagen Peptides™ accumulate in highly stressed joints.
Joints act like shock absorbers and cannot function properly if cartilage is wearing away. The Bioactive Collagen Peptides™ your body absorbs from CH-Alpha™ stimulate the regeneration of cartilage cells, which leads to stronger joints over time.
