The World’s Most Powerful Therapeutic Laser.

7. Lasers in Medicine
•
TherapeuAc
Lasers
are
used
for
the
sAmulaAon
of
cell
funcAon.
The
biological
effect
is
photochemical
not
thermal
(heat),
as
is
the
case
with
surgical
lasers.
•
Even
though
the
majority
of
our
paAents
have
failed
everything
that
tradiAonal
insurance-­‐based
medicine
offers,
our
success
rate
approches
80-­‐90%.
•In
(7)
years
of
operaAon,
there
has
never
been
a
reported
side
effect.

8. Biological Effects of Therapeutic Lasers
•
Laser
therapy
aims
to
bio-­‐sAmulate
injured
and
dysfuncAonal
Assues.
It
works
at
the
cellular
level
to
accelerate
the
bodies
natural
ability
to
heal.
•
The
laser
beam
will
sAmulate
healing
of
any
Assue
it
comes
in
contact
with.
•
With
over
3,000
studies
done,
the
following
are
the
beneficial
effects
of
light
therapy
on
Assues
and
cells.

13. Clinical Translation
“How HPLT Affects Your Back Pain”
•
Decreased
inflammaAon
of
the
spine
and
nerve
roots
and
all
pain
receptors
•
Increased
microcirculaAon
of
structures
leading
to
reducAon
of
swelling
around
joints
and
other
structures
•
Accelerated
healing
of
bone,
carAlage,
tendon,
ligaments,
muscle,
and
skin
•
Decreased
formaAon
of
scar
Assue
•
Decreased
or
even
eliminated
need
for
invasive
procedures

14. Affect of HPLT on Neuropathy “Pain”
• SAmulates
blood
flow
and
new
capillary
formaAon
thus
brings
new
and
befer
circulaAon
into
the
affected
Assues.
• Relieves
inflammaAon
around
the
damaged
nerves.
• Provides
an
analgesic
effect
to
area.
• SAmulates
repair
of
damaged
nerves.
• Heals
open
wounds
–
diabeAc
ulcers.

15. Why is HPLT so Effective?
• Ability
to
deliver
large
amounts
of
therapeuAc
laser.
• Ability
to
penetrate
deeper
than
any
other
modality.
• Ability
to
treat
a
large
surface
area.
This
is
very
important
with
neuropathy,
back,
and
leg
pain
as
these
condiAons
are
usually
widespread.
• The
Avicenna
laser
is
the
most
powerful
and
advanced
therapeuAc
laser
in
the
world!
• It
is
also
the
safest!

16. Goal of Pain Management Using
High Power Laser Therapy
•
Relieve
Pain
and
Reduce
InflammaAon
•
Promote
Tissue
Healing
•
Restore
AcAve
Range
of
paAents
moAon
and
balance
capabiliAes
•
Do
so
without
Side
Effects

17. Some of the Many Applications of
High Power Laser Therapy
•
Back
Pain,
Spinal
Stenosis,
Scia,ca
•
Neuropathy
of
all
causes
(Carpal
Tunnel
Syndrome,
Trigeminal
Neuralgia,
Tarsal
Tunnel
Syndrome
•
Accelerated
Post-­‐Surgical
healing
( joint
replacements)
•
Arthri,s
(Degenera,ve
Joint
Disease)
•
Foot
and
Heel
Pain
•
Muscle,
Ligament
and
Tendon
Injuries
•
Ulcera,ons
and
Open
Wounds

18. Creating a Positive Environment
for Tissue Healing
• In
order
to
get
long
term,
if
not
permanent
results
for
condiAons
of
the
back,
hip,
knee,
and
feet,
we
must
address
and
correct
the
biomechanical
issues
of
the
paAent.
This
will
be
part
of
your
physical
exam.

19. Musculoskeletal Symptomatic
Locations & Pathology
With
only
17%
of
the
popula,on
presen,ng
with
normal
gait,
these
condi,ons
are
prevalent
in
the
general
popula,on.

20. The Effects of a Common
Gait Abnormality (Over-Pronation)
• Achilles
TendoniAs
• Plantar
FasciiAs
• Tarsal
Tunnel
Syndrome
• Bunions,
Neuroma
• Patella
Femoral
Syndrome
• ITB
Syndrome
• Low
Back
Pain
and
Hip
Pain
…to
name
a
few.
• By
fixing
this
condiAon
as
well
as
other
gait
issues
we
can
realign
your
joints
and
spine
and
create
the
“opAmal
environment”
for
the
laser
to
heal
your
injury
and
provide
long
term,
if
not
permanent
relief.
