Post-Surgical LLLT

LLLT and Wound Healing

In my book, I make a number of “predictions”. Among them is this one: within 100 years, all surgeries will be preceded or followed by a short illumination with low level laser (LLLT). Here is just one more new salvo:

The role of laser biostimulation in early post-surgery rehabilitation and its effect on wound healing.

I think they should have used lower dosages though.

How To Give A Safe Spinal Massage

Although I occasionally use my therapeutic low level laser when going through the procedures I just posted to youtube.com, these spinal neuromusculoskeletal re-education procedures work extremely well on their own. With chronic cases, it takes repeated attempts. Two or three sessions per week will speed things up. Improvement in neck and back pain, with related headaches and such, is felt immediately, and improves with each week, peaking out within 4 weeks, on average.

I made this video, (split into two parts for youtube.com,) about 5 years ago. I was 15 pounds heavier then, but that’s another story.

In this video, I give you the culmination of what I know about removing muscle memory passively. Muscle memory involves millions upon millions of sensors around the body reporting to your cerebellum. Your cerebellum is your 3D processor for your body. This is very important, although you may not realize it. Muscle memory is a huge part of what brings people to my office eventually, and it is exactly what helps Tiger Woods hit that golf ball so well. Muscle memory. Sometimes that “memory” is guarding against some spinal injury that happened as a child, teenager, or adult. Depending on how “reactive” a patients’ muscles are, the areas of stress can distort the spine. This results in “balancing” compensations elsewhere in the spine. Defense networks start forming in those compensatory areas, becoming stiff, irritated, and because of faulty bio-mechanics over many years, they can become unevenly arthritic and degenerative. Joints can wear out unevenly, like tires that are out of alignment. This can result in irratic nerve impulses, which have become distorted because of local joint irritation, inflammation, and dysfunction. These all contribute to, and are caused by misalignment, subluxation, etc… It can become a vicious cycle. It needs to be interrupted. It should be reversed.

You have an answer here to the above problems. Is it the whole answer? No. Is it a big answer? Yes.

Enjoy!

FDA Gives Approval For Palomar Medical’s Wrinkle Low Level Laser Therapy

Photodynamic Therapy for Wrinkles

“Palomar Medical Technologies Inc. a maker of laser based cosmetic treatments, has received a 510(k) over-the-counter clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a new home-use laser device for the treatment of eye wrinkles.”

All I can say about this is what I heard from a doctor on a television interview regarding this new device. It apparently has a number of 5 mW red lasers in it, similar to laser pointers you can get at Office Depot. The doctor being interviewed stated that a person must use this device 3 times a day, thirty minutes per session, for a few months to see a difference. I must say I am not impressed.

I built a device with multiple 5 mW red lasers, and gave it to my mother for muscle aches and such. She tried it on her wrinkles, and it irritated the skin around her eyes. I am sure it is not identical to the one passed by the FDA, but it probably is not much different.

There are so many uses for low level laser therapy, but it costs a lot of money to prove a company’s claims to the FDA.

That is the reason for the do-it-yourself laser book: Rejuvenation.

Stroke….A New Way to Help

NeuroThera(R) is what was used in a study of Transcranial Laser Therapy. As far as I can tell from the patent, they use a 100 mw unfocused coherent light. Since the patent is going to be as broad as possible, I did not see reference to wavelengths chosen, or whether it is pulsed or not. Although a 100 mw red laser will penetrate up to 2 inches, much of the coherence of the light is lost, and my take on this is that the blood is treated, stimulated, and carries bio-stimulating effects to the surrounding tissues. If that is the case, then a standard 5 mw red laser pointer from Office Depot may work almost as well, for this and many other conditions. It is a matter of the math. It just takes longer to deliver the same amount of energy. While it would be foolish to try this during an acute stroke event, some may want to try it afterwards, when stable. This would be considered as a high unknown risk.

A New Treatment for Stroke is Showing Promise

Here are a couple of excerpts of a press release about clinical trials of putting the unfocused laser against the skin of the skull, illuminating the brain within 24 hours of a stroke, and continuing such treatment for a period of less than 3 months.

“TLT is one of the most promising new therapies that we’ve seen in a long time, especially as it may expand the treatment window for ischemic stroke to 24 hours. We look forward to commencing NEST-3 to further investigate TLT,” stated Professor Werner Hacke, M.D., Ph.D., Chairman of Neurology at the University of Heidelberg, who will join Professor Zivin as Co-Chairman of the NEST-3 Steering Committee.

A post-hoc analysis of 434 patients who suffered moderate to moderately severe strokes showed a favorable outcome in 51.6% of patients in the TLT group compared to 41.9% of patients in the sham group. This 9.7% treatment effect was statistically significant (p-value 0.044).
