Discover how advanced therapies are transforming patient recovery and redefining injury care.
Laser treatment for peripheral neuropathy
Where opioids have failed, DCs are reporting laser treatment for peripheral neuropathy showing an 80% success rate with patients…
Study validates low level laser therapy
Multi Radiance Medical’s MR4 super pulsed laser better enhances athletic performance and recovery compared to Class IV lasers, according to a recent study published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Athletic Training. Thiago De Marchi, et al. from the Sports Medicine Institute at the University of Caxias do Sul in Brazil compared the Multi Radiance Medical super pulsed laser to two other commercially available lasers in a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study.
Consider low level laser as treatment option for shingles
Clinical Concerns | Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. Medically speaking, it is an acute viral inflammation of the sensory ganglia of the spinal and cranial nerves that is associated with vesicular eruptions and neuralgic pain caused by reactivation of the herpes virus causing varicella (chicken pox)—also called herpes zoster, zoster.
Research report: Low level laser therapy in chiropractic
Although it is essential that DCs remember the history behind chiropractic, they must also keep an eye on current therapies that can help them improve their bottom line, as well as provide their patients with more effective care.
Efficacy of magnetic and super pulsed laser combination
Prof. Dr. H. Friedmann, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel. Introduction One of the basic mechanisms of photo-bio-modulation is the acceleration of electron transfer by electromagnetic radiation in the visible and near infra-red region of the spectrum.1,2 In the presence of an electron acceptor such as molecular oxygen (O2), electron transfer reduces O2 to the super-oxide anion […]
A double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized evaluation of the effect of the Erchonia EML and the Erchonia THL laser devices on Parkinson’s disease clinical study protocol
Theory of mechanism of operation: Parkinsonism is a clinical syndrome defined by diminished facial expression, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movement, festinating gait, and tremors. Parkinson disease (PD) is found in individuals with progressive Parkin- sonism and is diagnosed based on clinical assessment and diagnostic exclusion. Parkinson disease is associated with the degeneration of dopaimnergic […]
In vivo effects of low level laser therapy on inducible nitric oxide synthase
1Ontario Cancer Institute, Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; 2Sunnybrook and Women’s College Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; 3Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada Background and objectives: Low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been demonstrated to modulate inflammatory processes with evidence suggesting that treatment protocol, such as wavelength, total energy, and […]
A case report: Class IV laser therapy treatment of multifactorial lumbar stenosis with low-back and leg pain
By Daniel J. Knapp, DC, ACRB I Abstract Objective: This case report is presented to offer a potential intervention strategy in the treatment of resistant chronic back and leg pain with multifactorial central and foraminal stenosis. Clinical Features: A 77-year-old female with bilateral total knee replacement (TKR) and total hip replacement (THR) presented using a walker […]
Would Albert Einstein use an Erchonia handheld laser?
Background The progression of low-level laser therapy as a viable therapy has made tremendous strides since the early investigations conducted nearly a century ago to assess how light can affect atom bound electrons. The photoelectric effect, a theory postulated by Max Plank and later proven by Albert Einstein in the early 1900s, identified that light […]
