Laser Prepared Patriots for Superbowl Battle
JACKSONVILLE, Florida - February 9, 2005 - PRNewswire

For the second year in a row, the patented ML830 cold laser has prepared the N.E. Patriots for their Superbowl battle. Making headlines for its use treating the Patriots in Superbowl XXXVIII, the patented ML830 cold laser has again powered the Patriots to its second consecutive Superbowl win.

Ellen Spicuzza, RN, is a local Nurse specialist who has been working with the New England Patriots for six seasons. This is the second year she has used the laser prior to the Superbowl. Spicuzza flew down to Jacksonville early last week and treated at least seven of the players. Spicuzza says, "They practiced very hard." She used the laser to treat multiple sprains, strains and contusions, "The laser was a key adjunctive therapy," said Spicuzza. "No question it (laser) expedites healing of their (Patriots) sprains, strains, tendonitis and inflammations. Two players would not have played without the use of the laser," states Spicuzza.

Lauren Hebert, PT, OCS, in private practice in Maine also states, "We have treated several hundred patients with it. Results have been very good. We have seen higher success rates with fewer treatment visits." Michael Barbour, founder and president of Microlight Corp., said, "Laser therapy is fast becoming the treatment of choice for soft tissue injuries." "We have long awaited a safe, effective treatment option to offer our clinicians," states Lori Gallagher, President and CEO of Kessler Therapy Equipment, Inc., a Massachusetts based equipment distributor

The technology of the patented ML830 cold laser allows clinicians and patients the benefits of a treatment modality without the potential risks or side effects of other treatment options.

ML830® Laser Powers Patriots’ Super Bowl Victory
Missouri City, Texas – February 17, 2004

“We are pleased to announce today’s Washington Post article on low-level laser therapy (“LLLT”) entitled “The Light Stuff” in which our company was featured,” said Michael Barbour, president of MicroLight Corporation of America. “The article can be viewed in its full length on the Washington Post website” explained Mr. Barbour. Read the article here.

The Washington Post article gives a brief history of LLLT and brings the story up to date, including news of the successful use of the MicroLight ML830® by the New England Patriots prior to their recent Super Bowl victory. “A registered nurse successfully treated more than 10 Patriot players for tendon and muscle injuries, according to the article,” reported Mr. Barbour.

“I personally trained the Patriot’s registered nurse, Ellen Spicuzza, in the use of our ML830®,” said Barbour, “and I was pleased to see her acknowledge the degree of success she claims and is quoted on in the article, including her success with an injury of one Patriot described as ‘a flaired-up sciatic nerve’.”

“The Washington Post reported that the ML830® was the first cold laser device to receive FDA market clearance, in 2002,” said Mr. Barbour, “and it also pointed to the General Motors study, involving use of the ML830® to prove the use of LLLT as a viable alternative to surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome,” he added.
