Chiropractors are focused on improving the health and wellness of their patients. Often times, patients come to chiropractors with musculoskeletal injuries and chronic conditions causing pain and inflammation. What if you could offer your patients a way to immediately reduce their pain and inflammation inside your clinic? Laser therapy has changed the game for chiropractors by being able to provide fast results that lead to better outcomes for patients and income for their practices. In this special Q&A webinar with guest Ray Solano, DC, CCSP, we will explore how to integrate laser therapy treatment into a chiropractic clinic as well as the difference in patient satisfaction when treating with the laser. Key topics you will learn from the webinar include: The Difference in the Plan of Care & Outcomes for Patients Before and After Adding a Laser Program The Different in Patient Satisfaction When Treating with the Laser How to Integrate the Laser into Your Treatments Specific Treatment Recommendations with Emphasis on the Neck and Back Plus FREE Exclusive Training Videos from Dr. Solano   You will also receive exclusive training videos from Dr. Solano after you register on how to treat the lumbar region, TMJ, and tennis elbow with laser therapy.

When it comes to laser therapy, there is a lot of misinformation surrounding the technology. It can be difficult for clinicians to sift through the claims to find what stands up to the scientific evidence and what clearly falls short. Who better to debunk the myths than a clinical research scientist in the field of photobiomodulation (PBM*)? LightForce's own Director of Photobiomodulation, Ann Ketz, brings her years as a researcher in the field of laser therapy to help clear the air and lay out the facts regarding some of the most common myths. During this webinar you will learn what's fact and fiction as we dive into: Does power matter treating at depth? I've heard it's only wavelength that matters... Is dosing based on peak power like in super pulsing or is it average power? What's the difference? Isn't heating tissue bad? Can't you treat through clothes? What does irradiance have to do with effective treatments? *PBM is the name for the process of focused laser light entering the tissue and interacting at the cellular level to trigger a biological cascade of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism and a decrease in both pain and inflammation).

Integrating a laser therapy program can be both beneficial to patients through outcomes and to practice owners through its proven ROI. But how do you create a program so successful that you would need multiple lasers in a clinic to meet the demand from patients? In this webinar, New Jersey practice owner, Peter Bufano, DC, shares the ingredients to a successful laser therapy program. Starting with one and growing his practice to needing five lasers in just a few short years, Dr. Bufano knows firsthand the value of marketing, patient education, and outcomes in creating a bustling laser therapy program.

The number one question from laser therapy users is, “How do I know if I’m treating correctly?” Trainers wanted in-use feedback on dosing accuracy, and LightForce’s team of innovators went to work. The result? More accurate treatments for clinicians and better outcomes for athletes. Join LightForce® for this brief webinar to see a live demonstration of the new LightForce® 25W XPi and 40W XLi that give clinicians confidence through: Real-time visual and haptic feedback on dosing speed, telling if the treatment is too fast, too slow, or the appropriate speed. Built-In treatment protocols. Acceptable power levels for the treatment head selected.

IRS Section 179 tax deductions can drastically reduce your tax liability and lower overall equipment cost. For qualifying practice owners, Section 179 allows you to deduct 100% of the purchase price of your laser from your gross income*. In this 20 minute webinar, hear from tax professional, Robert Miller, Director at Global Tax Management, as he shares: What is the Section 179 Tax Deduction? Who Qualifies for the Deduction? What are the Limitations & Requirements? Can the Deduction Be Taken if the Equipment is Financed? The webinar will include a live question and answer session as well as a real example of how the tax deduction impacts a therapy laser purchase.

Differentiation of Chronic vs. Acute Injury Dosing Presented by:Doug Adams, PT, DPT, SCS, OCS, CSCS, and co-founder of Omega Project PTBrian Pryor, PhD, CEO of LightForce® Therapy LasersMark Callanen, PT, DPT,OCS, Director of Clinical Development, LightForce® Therapy Lasers Can outcomes be influenced by newer technology? This session will cover how Class IV laser therapy mechanistically helps address pain and treats both acute and chronic injuries. Taking a dive into photobiomodulation from recent studies to clinical outcomes in golfers and runners, this session provides an understanding of deep tissue laser therapy’s impact on short-term pain reduction and long-term tissue repair as well as how chronicity affects treatment technique in the athlete’s plan of care. The session is rounded out by further discussion on how research is helping to shape dosing parameters and protocols for different conditions.

Learn more about the exciting advancements in shockwave therapy and how the technology combines with laser therapy to create a powerful treatment approach. LightForce® has long been known for creating laser technology that uses focused light to stimulate a mitochondrial response called photobiomodulation in tissue at depth. Now as a member of the Chattanooga® team, LightForce® will offer the most effective technology for stimulating a response in dysfunctional tissue using sound waves through Chattanooga®'s shockwave devices1. Together, clinicians will have access to the most advanced modalities to treat a broader range of musculoskeletal conditions.   1 Reilly J, Bluman E, Tendorde A.

According to the National Health Interview Survey conducted by NCHS in 2019, one out of five adults in the US have experienced chronic pain within the last three months.¹ Rehabilitation clinicians have long been sought after to help provide relief to this population through addressing various aspects of their pain complaints. Non-surgical and non-pharmaceutical solutions to reduce pain have become more important than ever in light of the recent opioid epidemic. Laser therapy brings an evidence-based treatment option to rehabilitation practices that work daily to decrease pain. Therapeutic laser treatments promote photobiomodulation which impacts pain in a number of ways, increases cellular metabolism, and improves microcirculation to injured tissue.2-8 In this webinar, participants will learn about the mechanisms that make laser therapy an effective treatment for pain relief as well as the common applications where clinicians are experiencing desirable patient outcomes. Join host, Mark Callanen, DPT, as he unpacks the science behind laser therapy and the studies proving its efficacy in the clinic.   1. Zelaya C,  Dahlhamer J, Lucas J, Connor E.
