  • Episode #110: How Low Level Laser Therapy Frequencies Work
    2024/11/20
    Episode Summary:

    In this engaging episode of the Laser Light Show, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells delve into the fascinating world of low-level laser therapy. They explore how harnessing healing frequencies can revolutionize patient care, discussing the science behind wavelengths and frequencies. With practical insights from industry experts, this episode explains the significant role these therapies play in fostering health improvements and how practitioners can seamlessly integrate them into practice.

    The duo notably demystifies the difference between wavelength and frequency, emphasizing their importance in laser therapy applications. A key highlight includes the differentiation between radio waves and gamma rays within the electromagnetic spectrum, situating the discussion of visible light in terms that relate back to both wavelength and the frequency used in low level laser therapy. This episode demonstrates the relevance of these scientific concepts in real-world scenarios, helping practitioners better understand and utilize laser therapy for optimal patient outcomes.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Understanding the Basics: Dr. Woolner explains the core differences between wavelength and frequency, key fundamental components of laser therapy essential for practitioners.
    • Applications of Frequencies: Strategies regarding low, mid-range, and high frequencies are discussed, offering practical insights for treating acute injuries, chronic pain, and neurological conditions.
    • Bioenergetics Focus: The episode underscores how low level laser therapy taps into bioenergetics, enhancing the body's natural healing capabilities through balanced energy supply and demand.
    • Foundational vs. Specific Therapies: There's a strong recommendation to start with foundational laser therapies before diving into specific frequency-based strategies, emphasizing safety and adaptability of the laser technology.
    • Modern Treatment Philosophy: Dr. Wells and Dr. Woolner discuss how today’s healthcare is integrating more physics-based modalities like laser therapy, showcasing the shift from traditional chemistry-based treatments to bioenergetics.
    Notable Quotes:
    • "The wavelength can mean either, you know, something safe like a radio wave, or something potentially very damaging, like a gamma ray."
    • "When you can match the frequency of the laser, it's very similar or akin to pushing your child in a swing."
    • "You're not going to harm the patient, and so you're not going to mess something up by using quote, unquote, the wrong frequency."
    • "As healthcare starts to open up to the limits of chemistry in moving into the possibilities of physics, you'll see a lot of these really cool transformations happen in your office."
    • "This episode demonstrates the potential of low level laser therapy in balancing the energetic demands with the energetic supply for effective health and healing."

  • Episode #109: Exploring the Distinctions Between Photobiomodulation and Laser Therapy
    2024/10/28
    Episode Summary:

    In this enlightening episode of the Laser Light Show, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells dive deep into unraveling the complex terminology often associated with laser therapies — specifically dissecting whether photobiomodulation and low-level laser therapy are indeed synonymous. This engaging discussion explores the various terminologies, highlighting their nuances and shedding light on the cutting-edge advancements in laser treatments orchestrated by Erchonia, a leader in the industry with numerous FDA clearances.

    The duo elaborates on the pivotal terminology "wavelength dependent cellular targeting" to distinguish Erchonia’s approach from other modalities like LED therapies and Class 4 lasers. By focusing on energy levels inherent in specific wavelengths — 635nm for red, 520nm for green, and 405nm for violet — they underline the significance of precise energy delivery at a cellular level. Their conversation addresses common misconceptions in laser therapy, predominantly the overstated importance of power and depth of penetration, steering the dialogue toward evidential studies and practical applicability in therapeutic settings.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Photobiomodulation is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of light therapies, but not all treatments within this category function identically.

    • The specific benefits of Erchonia low-level laser therapy arise from its use of "wavelength dependent cellular targeting," which operates on a photochemical rather than photothermal basis.

    • Effective laser therapy involves monochromatic, coherent light with lower power to avoid inefficient energy loss as heat, ensuring precise and efficient cellular interactions.

    • Scientific evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction is a core player in numerous chronic health conditions, and low-level laser therapy offers a powerful tool to optimize mitochondrial function.

    • Practitioners are encouraged to move beyond generalizations and understand the scientific distinctions between various light therapies for better patient outcomes.

    Notable Quotes:
    1. "Wavelength dependent cellular targeting more accurately describes the distinction between Erchonia lasers and other light therapies."

    2. "Not all light therapies are created equal; coherent, monochromatic light beams are integral to effective cellular treatment."

    3. "We're not just after heat with these therapies; we're inducing a true photochemical effect at the cellular and mitochondrial level."

    4. "Mitochondrial optimization can address many chronic health issues, tying laser therapy directly to modern medical challenges."

    5. "Understanding laser therapy isn't merely about the device, but the specific wavelengths and energies we can harness for change."
