In this segment of Dr. Vince Leone’s YouTube video, the clinician explains why many patients opt for laser therapy in chiropractic care, emphasizing its compact delivery and faster perceived results. He outlines his typical treatment protocol for acute musculoskeletal issues—such as tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, shoulder bursitis, and hip bursitis—suggesting a short‑term package of roughly six sessions, usually administered three times per week over two weeks. This regimen is presented as sufficient for most minor injuries, with the caveat that more severe cases may require extended care.

You're thinking a shorter package. You're thinking maybe 6 to 8 sessions, 6 to 10 sessions. I usually do 6. That's kind of my starting point for most acute conditions. And I'll do usually 3 times a week for 2 weeks. And that's usually enough, give or take a visit or 2 one way or the other, to settle a lot of acute conditions down. Unless it's a, you know, a real significant injury. Well, what's a double?
