Hi Shelli, Just ask for a power supply ($10) with the 10mw 635nm laser and a line generating lens. The power supply comes with alligator clips which attach to the laser diode wires. Not pretty, but it works. Steve -- "Shelli" <[email protected]> wrote: Steve, I've been reading the posts about laser theray and infrared and am interested in getting a laser. I work for a physcial therapist who uses laser therapy and is very impressed with the results on things like carpal tunnel symptoms and in regaining feeling in the feet for diabetes sufferers. I was looking at the site you posted and am wondering if the power supply is listed separately somewhere? I see laser units listed with power supplies but they are in the hundreds or thousands of dollars. I'm hoping that's not what you were talking about. Thanks.

These used to be very expensive but are now manufactured in China so you can get them with a power supply for about $40. I also use a line generating lens on the laser so I can cover larger areas at once. My brother is a chiropractor and gets consistently good results using a 635 10mw line generating laser on sciatica and heel problems as well as almost every type of musculoskeletal problem you can think of. There is a certain manufacturer who sells a unit with this wavelength of line generating laser for about $10,000. It has programmable frequencies and a battery pack which all adds to the expense. LEDs can work well too for surface issues but take a bit longer in my opinion and don't penetrate as well. The coherent collimated light from the laser penetrates deep into the tissue and speeds up recovery on many levels. I believe LLLT is an awesome healing tool. Be careful with your eyes if you decide to get one. You can get them here: http://mfgcn.com/_wsn/page2.html <http://mfgcn.com/_wsn/page2.html> make sure to ask for a power supply (3V AC/DC 500ma) and a line generating lens. Here is a library full of info on laser therapy/clinical results for many ailments http://www.laser-therapy.us/library.htm <http://www.laser-therapy.us/library.htm> . Steve
