FIBROMYALGIA

Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic pain condition that causes musculoskeletal pain and fatigue.³

coMra’s NEUROLOGY 9 protocol is a 3-part treatment designed to help manage the symptoms of fibromyalgia. The treatment includes the application of UNIVERSAL 3 (BLOOD) and UNIVERSAL 5 (SOMATIC BIOSTIMULATION 2) as well as targeting key points around the body.⁴

“LLLT is an effective, safe, and well-tolerated treatment for fibromyalgia.” – Ye SW, 2019, School of Medicine, Taipei Medical University, Taiwan5

“As there is no known medical cure for fibromyalgia, the cardiologist suggested I look at alternate and holistic healing techniques. Immediately after my session of using coMra Delta therapy I felt the pain subside from the areas where the machine had been focused. For the first time in two months I could walk upright. I continued to use coMra Delta therapy for a period of four weeks, all the while feeling slowly better, stronger and healthier. In conjunction with coMra Delta therapy I rested well, drank plenty of purified water and ate mainly fresh fruit and vegetables. I recommend the coMra Delta Therapy to all who have not yet tried it.” – Client testimonial6

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS

The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) connect the lower jaw to the skull. They are among the most complex joints in the body. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are disorders of the TMJs, the jaw muscles, and the nerves associated with chronic facial pain.⁷

coMra’s TRAUMATOLOGY 16 protocol is a 15-minute treatment for jaw pain, including arthritis and dislocation of the jaw.⁴

NEUROLOGY 3 treats facial nerve pain.⁴

“LLLT appears to be efficient in diminishing TMD pain with variable effects on the outcome of secondary parameters. Also, LLLT provides advantages as the therapeutic regimen is non-invasive, reversible, with fewer adverse effects, and may also improve the psychological and emotional aspects associated with TMDs.” – Ahmad SA, 2020, Department of Oral Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Jamia Millia Islamia, India⁸

NEUROPATHIC PAIN (NEUROPATHY)

Neuropathy is pain that occurs if the nerves get injured or damaged. It may be the result of a traumatic injury or surgery, but can also be caused by underlying conditions like diabetes or central nervous system disorders.⁹
Research shows that low-level laser therapy can help to repair damaged nerves.¹⁰

“We found evidence that LLLT optimizes the regeneration of peripheral axons, improving motor function, especially in animal models.” – Muniz XC, 2021.

coMra’s NEUROLOGY 15 protocol treats diabetic neuropathy.⁴

TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA

Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, causing sudden, severe attacks of facial pain.¹¹

The coMra NEUROLOGY 4 protocol treats neuralgia and neuropathy in the trigeminal nerve.⁴

“Laser causes pain relief without any side effects. It could be helpful especially in patients suffering from neuralgia tolerated to drug therapy.” – Falaki F, 2014, Oral & Maxillofacial Diseases Research Center, Faculty of Dentistry, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Iran¹²

coMra provides a non-invasive, user-friendly and drug-free way to treat and manage many chronic pain conditions, including those that may otherwise be hard to manage with medication.

NOTE: coMra is a powerful modality. The uses described above are those recommended by the coMra User Guide. Experience over 10 years has shown that in the case of most chronic conditions, treatments can also be spread out to once or twice per week, without taking the breaks outlined in the guide.
