Dosing

With Special Knee Treatment Application by Kevin Wilk, PT, DPT, FAPTA

Achieving outcomes begins with the basic building block of performing effective treatments. In order to perform effective treatments, you must understand how to correctly dose based on the condition and desired outcomes.

In this 45-minute webinar, learn from Mark Callanen, PT, DPT, OCS, as he unpacks evidence-based treatment techniques.

During this webinar, you will uncover:

• The role of joules, watts, energy density, and power density in treating with high power lasers
• Dosing concepts for acute vs. chronic conditions
• Kevin Wilk, PT, DPT, FAPTA, demonstrating a knee treatment
• Specific treatment recommendations for the neck, back, and shoulder

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).

Differentiation of Chronic vs. Acute Injury Dosing

Presented by:
Doug Adams, PT, DPT, SCS, OCS, CSCS, and co-founder of Omega Project PT
Brian Pryor, PhD, CEO of LightForce® Therapy Lasers
Mark 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.

Building upon years of research in photobiomodulation (PBM), the latest clinical findings increase our collective understanding of this promising treatment and further the science behind dosing and protocols.

Join Brian Pryor, PhD, in this engaging webinar taking a deeper dive into recent studies regarding the depth of penetration and determining the optimum dosing recommendations. Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of the most recent science behind treatment protocols as well as current findings supporting the effectiveness of PBM for decreasing pain.

New to laser therapy? Need a refresher? We've got the webinar for you!

In this NEW on-demand webinar co-hosted by The Ortho Eval Pal Podcast Show and Chattanooga® LightForce®, Paul Marquis, PT interviews Director of Clinical Education for Enovis™ Recovery Sciences, Dr. Mark Callanen, PT, DPT, OCS. Paul and Mark discuss the basics of laser therapy, including the following topics: 

 Photobiomodulation & How It Works

 Tissue Dosing

 How High Power Devices Differ from Low Power Devices

 Insurance reimbursement and so much more!

Who is this webinar for? This webinar is perfect for those with little to no background in laser therapy who are looking to learn more about the modality and potentially incorporate it into their practice.

What if I already own or utilize LightForce® laser therapy in my practice? We're so glad to hear you own or are utilizing LightForce® laser therapy in your practice. Depending on who administers laser therapy treatments in your practice, this could be a great refresher. This discussion may be even more beneficial for those you know who are curious about the modality, or those who have no knowledge or experience with laser therapy.
