Laser Selection
When choosing a therapeutic laser, it is vitally important to understand the clinical differences between them. Your desired treatment outcome will be varied depending on three primary factors; OPTIMAL power, wavelength, and dosage.
Click the uploaded document link above (Laser Comparative) to see an analysis of the most popular lasers on the market today. Remember, all lasers have some type of therapeutic benefit and value. When choosing which type is best for YOUR clinic, it simply comes down to your desired clinical outcome. I am neither anti Class 3 lasers, or pro Class 4. I am an advocate of good laser therapy based in good science. Science and results speaks for themselves. “Truth is truth”
According to laser expert Jan’ Tune,
“The main reason cited for negative findings in laser therapy
studies has been the use of extremely low dosages.”
Dr Nickelston,
I wanted to thank you for your writings on the benefits of using laser therapy in conjunction with chiropractic treatment. It is encouraging to see more authors promoting this remarkably effective therapy.
I found it interesting - though not unexpected - that the comparison paper you’ve posted doesn’t include the BioFlex system. Meditech International has worked closely with leading researchers like Dr Jan Tuner, Dr Tiina Karu & Dr Mary Dyson in developing BioFlex which is based on the leading clinical research of Dr Fred Kahn.
Dr Kahn has also published articles on the Myths & Realities of Laser Therapy and Selecting a Laser Device that you are welcome to link to if you feel they may be of value to your readers.
