Abstract: Some implementations provide an apparatus for percutaneous delivery of laser energy, the apparatus including two or more hollow spikes, each having an insertion end and a coupling end, each including an optical fiber embedded as a permanent fixture therein, each optical fiber capable of emitting laser from the insertion end of the corresponding hollow spike; and\a hub coupled to the two or more hollow spikes at the respective coupling ends of each hollow spike, the hub including a connector for coupling the apparatus to a laser generator.

Abstract: Deep Tissue Low Intensity Laser Therapy or Treatment (DT-LILT) as described here is a novel methodology through which selective destruction of nociceptive (pain) nerves can be brought upon by a medical laser delivery system using the phenomenon of absorption and cell resonance. Using this method nerve cells that transmit pain can be selectively destroyed leaving the surrounding tissues intact as no heat is generated. The delivery system incorporates a fine needle through which a 703 nm (range 690 to 710) pulsed wave low intensity laser is delivered deep into the body, directly to the area of pain causing selective destruction of pain nerves. Laser devices based on this methodology should be used only by the physician or equivalent professional community since diagnosing and defining the area of pain is critical to providing successful pain relief.

Abstract: An apparatus facilitating percutaneous delivery of laser energy includes: a hollow needle having a cutting edge at an insertion end thereof; and a laser fiber fixedly embedded within the hollow needle, the embedded laser fiber within the needle being permanently fixed within the hollow needle as one non detachable unit.

Abstract: A laser generator for laser therapy in the treatment of pain conditions by selective destruction of nociceptive or pain nerves, where a laser generator that generates a continuous and pulsed wavelength that is transmitted fiber-optically through a laser fiber within a spinal needle to contact areas within a body where pain nerves require destruction through optical absorption of laser energy by pain nerves without affecting other types of nerves or surrounding tissues. The laser generator can be used for treatment in humans, small animals and also large animals, which can receive pain relief without adverse effects.

Abstract: A laser generator for laser therapy in the treatment of pain conditions by selective destruction of nociceptive or pain nerves, wherein a laser generator that generates a continuous and pulsed laser wavelength between 690 nm to 980 nm that is transmitted fiberoptically through a laser fiber within a spinal needle to contact areas within a body where pain nerves require destruction through optimal absorption of laser energy by pain nerves without affecting other types of nerves or surrounding tissues.
