Cold Laser Therapy-effective for pain & open wounds

[caroline]

U Tube has a ThorLaser video demonstrating this drug-free treatment
approved by FDA since 2004 & used in Europe for years.

Reports say that 5 minute treatments reduce pain & an Occupational
Therapist at Verdugo Hospital in LaCanada (So. California), which has a cold laser, said it is most effective with open wounds and is also used on hands/wrists (my area of sero negative arthritis). Rheumatologist Dr. Gitlin in Huntington Beach, CA. uses it in his office with good results for a friend
with carpel tunnel & arthritis stiffness.

Occupational Therapist at Verdugo Hospital stated mixed results for reducing inflammation using the cold laser. Medicare will allow it & also
some insurance companies so billing tells me. My Phys. Rehab doctor is researching it after I requested a prescription this week.

Has anyone tried it with success for inflammation? Did it reduce temporarily
or permanently? Treatment is usually 2-3x week for 5 minutes.

Hi Caroline,   I tried Cold Laser which actually worked for me the first treatment I had and lasted about a week.  Went back for a second treatment, and it didn't do a thing.  At $55/visit, I stopped going.
