Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter and his patient David Plant discuss Plant's shoulder problems and treatment with cold laser therapy. Plant is a veteran working toward peak wellness after dealing with chronic pain. The conversation happens in the laser room at Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics and Sports Medicine.
I am Dr. Joshua Schachter. I'm the founder and medical director of Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Wichita Falls, Texas, where we take our patients to the peak of wellness. I'm sitting here today with Mr. David Plant. He is an amazing patient of ours. We are in our laser room. We've got MERV, which is an MLS M6 laser. That's our cold laser therapy that we do on a lot of patients before and after surgery. And we do it before and after our biologics procedures. Mr. Plant, would you mind giving me your full name and age, if that's appropriate?
Sure. David Plant. Quant 69.
How did you come to meet us here at Pinnacle?
I'd been having a problem with my shoulder for many years. I had taken a fall from about 8ft, and I was able to work my way through it with physical therapy. And it got to the point where nothing was helping anymore, so it was time to do something different.
