Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter demonstrates laser light therapy for joint pain. Hold the device 8 to 10 inches from skin for about 6 minutes per side. It works on knees, hips, shoulders, ankles, and elbows, and may help with inflammation after surgery or from diabetic neuropathy.
About 8 to 10 inches.
About six minutes per side.
Knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, and elbow.
The laser needs to be about 8 to 10 inches from my skin and it does inject that thermal and infrared energy down into the tissues. Like we talked about. The whole treatment takes about six minutes per side. As you can see from the laser when it was marking me, it takes all of these parameters into account and then it treats that area in sequence. If you look right now.
You can see the laser head is moving. It's injecting that laser energy into these different areas of my knee. Very helpful for local inflammation. We find that this is super useful for post operative care like after a knee or even a hip replacement. Currently we have protocols for knee, hip, shoulder, ankle and elbow. Laser light technology is really super interesting. There are applications in all different types of neuroscience. It's also useful in the treatment of neuropathies in the diabetic patient. We don't currently do those types of treatments but I just find it fascinating.
