I was the first Chiropractor to legal purchase a cold laser back in 2006. It was very popular in my practice. Now I see more than ever, the need for modalities such as the laser.
A friend of mine called me a few weeks ago from Mississippi. She has been having a terrible time with her bilateral knee pain. She has tried everything...medication (which is restricted due to her underlying comorbidities), creams, lotions and even drove 2 hrs each way to see an accupuncturist. Desperate she called me and asked if I had ever heard of Cold laser therapy...she had seen it on a medical show.
I reminded her that we had discussed this modality and I had even used it on her several times and it worked. She had forgotten because she got well.
I shipped my laser to her since there are no physicians that use laser who are close by for her. Lets keep our fingers crossed.
Today I met a young lady at the nail shop. She too was in pain from a knee problem. She had already had a procedure - surgery - that lead to several other surgeries and the problem is still getting worse. She was not a candidate for knee replacement because o f her age. Now she has problems with her hips, low back and other knee probably due to compensation for all of the years (yes years!) of trying to stay off the knee. She also subsequently had foot surgery! She has been out of work for 5 years and still waiting to get back her life. I suggested cold laser, at least until something better comes along I also told her to check out a chiropractor for her misalignments.
Well - there I go running my mouth! I hope I dont get hit with a malpractice suite or something. I found with just trying to help someone you can also put yourself in the line of fire of a lawsuite. Ridculous!
