Scalar Wave Lasers Every since the negative effects of smoking have been known, people have been trying to quit. And, ever since computers became used in… well, just about everywhere, carpal tunnel syndrome has become a problem. In a nutshell, it is a constricting of the tissues of the wrist due to holding your hands in an unnatural position for long periods – like typing! The results? Shooting pains in your fingers.

In nearly every case, they cause some sort of chemical and/or thermal reaction within your body. This is where low level laser therapy can be the answer. First off, what is it exactly?
