It is a long, fleshy fasciculus, narrower in the middle than at either end, forming, with the mucous membrane covering its surface, the palatopharyngeal arch .
The LaserTouchOne combines science, medicine and technology in creating a powerful new alternative for pain relief â one that leverages the synergies of two proven treatment modalities that, when used in tandem, are more effective than either a single modality TENS unit or cold laser device:
Laser spine surgery may seem like a newer technique, but it actually has been around for decades. And, interestingly, it may not always mean that the surgeon will use a laser, Dr. Steinmetz says. In the traditional approach to spinal surgery, the surgeonâs incision goes through the skin to the muscle.

This can damage the surrounding soft tissue, causing pain, blood loss and longer hospital stay for recovery.
