Do you know a pet who is recovering from surgery or limps, or winces when touched or has become less interactive or seems to be in pain? Hot laser (which is warm not hot) is a drug free, pain free, trauma free course of treatments that helps pets heal and reduce inflammation and scarring with no side effects. Laurie Mason describes some pet patients and how sometimes dogs and cats with behavior issues improved their attitude and habits when treatments made the pet happier and less pain. Class IV laser can help with chronic pain too including cat declaw surgery ramifications! Deborah explains why cats should never be declawed because it is the amputation of joints and not just a manicure.

Laser therapy for hair loss isn't new. In this episode, I meet with Dr. Phipps to talk about the science behind laser or low-level light therapy (LLLT) and what makes a great candidate for it. We also discussed whether there have been any adverse health effects noticed in people who have used laser therapy for years. Low-Level Light Therapy for Hair Loss What is laser therapy for hair loss, and how does it work? Laser therapy, also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT), uses a specific wavelength of light to stimulate the cells of hair follicles. Different delivery methods are available, including caps, helmets, and combs. The light therapy doesn't cause any discomfort or sensation, which causes some users to think the light isn't working. Dr. Phipps gives the example of the sun; the sun's UV rays are able to penetrate the skin and stimulate cells to cause a tan because of the wavelength of those rays. Similarly, a laser device must use specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the skin cells. Typically, cheaper versions of these devices are sold online, so finding a reputable supplier is critical. How to Use Laser Therapy for Hair Loss Is laser therapy right for you? Laser therapy works by gently stimulating hair follicle cells, so in situations of relatively recent hair loss or thinning, laser therapy can keep the follicles healthy to produce strong, healthy strands. Each treatment is approximately 8 minutes per day, and much like the sun in the example above, it must be done every day, or the effects will wane (just as your tan will wane if you stop going out in the sun). Stopping laser therapy will cause hair loss to resume at the rate it was happening before LLLT was started. Are You a Candidate for Laser Therapy? Hair follicles can die, and once they have died, laser therapy will not bring them back or create new follicles. That's why it's important to consult with a hair loss professional to determine if laser therapy will be effective for your type of hair loss or thinning. As mentioned before, it also requires consistent use, so take that into consideration as you weigh your options. Laser therapy devices can be purchased for home use, as they are safe, durable, and easy to apply. Quality laser therapy devices can last a long time - Dr. Phipps shares that her father has been using the same laser cap for ten years. Resources Book a Free Consultation today!

Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of the Laser Light Show, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells dive deep into unraveling the complex terminology often associated with laser therapies — specifically dissecting whether photobiomodulation and low-level laser therapy are indeed synonymous. This engaging discussion explores the various terminologies, highlighting their nuances and shedding light on the cutting-edge advancements in laser treatments orchestrated by Erchonia, a leader in the industry with numerous FDA clearances. The duo elaborates on the pivotal terminology "wavelength dependent cellular targeting" to distinguish Erchonia's approach from other modalities like LED therapies and Class 4 lasers. By focusing on energy levels inherent in specific wavelengths — 635nm for red, 520nm for green, and 405nm for violet — they underline the significance of precise energy delivery at a cellular level. Their conversation addresses common misconceptions in laser therapy, predominantly the overstated importance of power and depth of penetration, steering the dialogue toward evidential studies and practical applicability in therapeutic settings. Key Takeaways: Photobiomodulation is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of light therapies, but not all treatments within this category function identically. The specific benefits of Erchonia low-level laser therapy arise from its use of "wavelength dependent cellular targeting," which operates on a photochemical rather than photothermal basis. Effective laser therapy involves monochromatic, coherent light with lower power to avoid inefficient energy loss as heat, ensuring precise and efficient cellular interactions. Scientific evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction is a core player in numerous chronic health conditions, and low-level laser therapy offers a powerful tool to optimize mitochondrial function. Practitioners are encouraged to move beyond generalizations and understand the scientific distinctions between various light therapies for better patient outcomes. Notable Quotes: "Wavelength dependent cellular targeting more accurately describes the distinction between Erchonia lasers and other light therapies." "Not all light therapies are created equal; coherent, monochromatic light beams are integral to effective cellular treatment." "We're not just after heat with these therapies; we're inducing a true photochemical effect at the cellular and mitochondrial level." "Mitochondrial optimization can address many chronic health issues, tying laser therapy directly to modern medical challenges." "Understanding laser therapy isn't merely about the device, but the specific wavelengths and energies we can harness for change." Resources: Erchonia Official Website - Explore further research, upcoming events, and advanced resources related to Erchonia laser therapies. To fully grasp the depth and applicability of these insights into laser therapy, listen to the full episode. Stay tuned for more discussions that elucidate the evolving landscape of laser technologies and enlighten practitioners on the latest therapeutic strategies.

The future of healthcare is leaning towards non-surgical, regenerative approaches that are less invasive and have fewer side effects. Notable Quotes: "Instead of removing and replacing, you know, it's regenerating and restoring." "I actually think I'm helping patients more now without doing surgery than when I was doing surgery." "The whole issue is the capillary bed. That's it." "For all the years we did in treating like neuropathy, which is a big example for that, for all the years we would use our modalities and we would feel the pulses. If they were great.

The more I discuss with colleagues and experts how to provide the patient with great care and how to avoid the commoditization trap that insurance companies have doctors firmly trapped in, the more the idea of add-on services keeps revealing itself as a great option. Whether you are in-network with insurance or are a cash practice, some services are not covered by insurance or should be charged at a separate cash rate from your traditional chiropractic care. Some of those add-on services include but are not limited to, Shock Wave Therapy, Dry Needling, Laser Therapy, Physical Training, Supplementation, and more. In this episode, I interview Dr. David Rudnick about how he provides world-class care in his sports chiropractic clinic and has escaped insurance companies' commoditization trap. The good news is that you don't have to be a hard-sell clinic. You can provide add-on services without pressuring your patients into spending money they don't want to. You can reach Dr. Rudnick at davidrudnickdc@gmail.com.
