This practitioner was contacted by the patient and asked if he could use the laser to treat his retina.

Sometime later in an incidental contact it was noted that he had considerable cloudiness in his right lens.

AR is an RN who owns a device from Coherent Medical

Patients with trigger points are literally too numerous to mention

It’s virtually 100% of those seeking treatment in facilities that provide treatment to those with narrow musculoskeletal issues. These trigger points can be debilitating. Many have had a variety of treatments for their trigger points including but not limited to cryotherapy, manual manipulation, injection with lidocaine and Marcaine or cortisone. They have had needles and stretches and poking and prodding. Some are lucky enough to get a small amount of relief the problem always returns. This office is treated literally hundreds of patients with thousands of trigger points. 30 seconds of laser phototherapy in the involved area resolved the trigger point permanently and health returns not in days, or hours, or minutes, but in seconds.

For a discussion of strokes and concussion and all manner of traumatic brain injury I refer the reader to a study conducted and published by Larry Morries DC in conjunction with the neurology department at Massachusetts General Hospital. As a result of that study laser phototherapy has become treatment of choice for those suffering all manner of traumatic brain injury.
