Laser the area that is going to have a surgical procedure.
Place over the area of involvement or the SYSTEM application you prefer.
These settings have been used by thousands of clinicians for thousands of different reasons and hold true today as some of the most recommended. Keep It Simple and effective. Immediate change in function when using activation method (strength / ROM / leg checks / chiropractic indicators). If you have functional exams to identify strength and range of motion impairment and laser the involved physiological window (spine, brain, organ, meridian) a change can occur in seconds to let you know you are providing an accurate treatment.
Laser over the area of involvement or the nerve root to the area via the Merrick chart.
Balance Essential Fatty Acids and other supplement deficiencies.
Remove food allergies by identifying lab tests or food elimination protocols.
Do the appropriate food allergy testing and EFA ratio. The gut can be heavily involved in rashes that are caused by an IGE Allergy. But delayed allergies are also culprits.
Laser over the Area of Involvement.
Raynaud's syndrome is a condition where most commonly, the blood vessels in the fingers and toes overreact to cold temperatures or emotional stress (and sometimes other areas of the body). This causes the blood vessels to narrow or constrict, reducing blood flow and causing the affected area to turn white or blue. The affected area may turn red and feel tingly or painful as the blood flow returns.
Raynaud's can be primary, meaning it occurs on its own without any underlying health conditions, or secondary, where it's a symptom of an underlying condition such as autoimmune disorders, vascular disease, or carpal tunnel syndrome.
I recommend looking at the curve and health of the cervical spine and including Posture Pumps and the other FIT clinical exercise Rx's. A history of physical trauma, leading to scar tissue and adhesions as well as improper curves, is at the base of many cases. Always take a history of medications.
Any setting that supports those with Secondary Raynaud's and has an autoimmune disease. Every single autoimmune disease starts in the gut, predisposed to gluten intolerance and food allergies.
Low thyroid cascade is a common underlying cause as well.
Perform Brain/Body FIT® Foundations of Health; especially the EFA ratio and the Essential Elements test with Vit D add-on, provide primary nutrient depletion indicators.
Other supplements that can be beneficial are CoQ10, B Complex, Adrenal, and others.

Pain is interpreted in the brain so we can use standard rules of neurology (or use muscle testing to identify AOI) and laser the same side cerebellum and / or opposite side cortex of the symptomatic area. Not lasering the symptomatic area directly. Re-evaluate on next visit.
Laser the spinal nerve to the involved myotome / dermatome. Still not lasering the symptomatic area directly; but involving the system.
Laser the AOI directly with the programmable head and the preset head is at the spinal level; and can also be used at the cerebellum / cortex. I have never heard of an adverse reaction occurring if this protocol has been used. Many times, by performing step 1, there is a decrease in pain.
Muscle testers check testability and switching immediately, and you will not have the concerns that others may face. This is located on the Advanced Video Volume 1.
Patient may place a hand over their forehead while Feeling the pain and/or concentrating on events and stress leading up to the condition.
This condition is characterized by severe chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety and more. It often occurs after a trauma and/or surgery. Everything that can be done to balance the nervous system starting with the basics and extending to the advanced protocols need to be considered.
Start Slowly! As an example, we will take an RSD case in the foot and in rare cases, when after lasering the area of involvement, the pain and symptoms increase. Why would this happen? Increasing mitochondrial ATP synthesis can occur in Type A muscle spindle fibers decreasing pain sensation and Type C pain fibers it increases pain sensation. If there is an extreme decrease in inhibitory function/physiology, there is a chance there is nothing to inhibit the interpretation of pain sensation. Again, this is a rare occurrence, however it does happen.

The wavelength and power output of the Erchonia laser products has healing properties by themselves; however, frequencies are amplifiers. These settings are ideal to apply after providing neurogenic inflammation and the client needs further recovery from exercise, or they are performing clinical exercises for postural correction graduating through ideal neutral, movement, function, and performance.

This is a common symptom about which many patients may complain, however, it has little importance compared to the severity of SYSTEM injury and depletion. REMEMBER treat the causes! Restless Leg Syndrome is an effect of sympathetic dominance and numerous imbalances throughout the body. Correct and rebuild the stress response. They are ALL severe Category 2 patients (Sacral Occipital Technique / Applied Kinesiology). This is an injury to the sacroiliac ligament; the most weight bearing ligament in the body and the cascade that causes neurological injury
Face down place the middle diode on the Occiput (visual centers) and the remaining two laser heads over the temporal bones just posterior to the eye orbit.
Face Up place the middle diode on the Frontal Lobe (visual centers) and the remaining two laser heads over the temporal bones just posterior to the eye orbit. Integrate with Posture Pump and Focus Unit.
Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of genetic eye conditions that leads to incurable blindness. In the progression of symptoms for Retinitis Pigmentosa, night blindness generally precedes tunnel vision by years or even decades. Many people with RP do not become legally blind until their 40s or 50s and retain some sight all their lives.
The eye has the smallest capillaries in the body and therefore the most sensitive circulation and blood flow. Any decrease in blood flow will cause ischemia and degeneration. This relates directly to the sensitivity of the mitochondria of the eye to damage and therefore RP. Laser therapy can provide significant benefit to degenerative eye conditions.
Microsporum canis is a fungal species known as dermatophytes that causes numerous forms of disease and is a communicable pathogen. Ringworm can be found in a variety of environments and may survive for up to 15 months if left untreated. It feeds on the keratin on the outer layers of skin, hair and nails.
The main environment for Microsporum canis are cats and dogs; however, it can also be transmitted to humans through direct and indirect contact such as animals and fomites such as combs, brushes, hats, furniture, linens etc.
Prevention of Ringworm can be as simple as eliminate direct contact with infected animals and related fomites. If contact with infected areas of skin or infected animals is unavoidable, wash hands immediately after exposure. The shed skin of an infected mammal may also spread infection so wash/change bedding as frequently as possible.
The Erchonia violet/red laser does provide significant treatment improvement.
Perform "Cleanse the Blood" if thought to be systemic.
Generally, use the protocol (above) and combine it one of the other settings listed below. Any combination should achieve great results.
Acute Injury
Post-Operative Wound Healing/Pain
Pain
If the individual has full time access to an Erchonia Laser, this protocol can be applied 3 - 4 times per day. Even if applied only 2 -3 times per week, this application will make a significant improvement in healing.
One of the questions to ask when taking a history on EVERY new patient is; do you have ANY scars from surgery or other trauma. If the answer is yes, place a laser head over the myotome/Dermatome to the scar and then other two laser heads over the scar.
Scars can have systemic challenging effects. You may determine the part of the brain that is involved, if any, and laser accordingly.
Use the Erchonia Percussor or manual soft tissue correction over the scar adhesions and to correct additional fascial injury.
Scars cause significant fascial and biotensegrity injury throughout the body. For complete 3D Body Map® exam and corrections apply Dr. Jerome's Fitness Integration Technique (F.I.T.)®.
Use FDA Cleared Low Back Pain Preset
Place center diode over the nerve root (located using the myotome/dermatome chart) or the organ involved, viscero-somatic reflexes, (using the Merrick chart or muscle testing) or just over the area of involvement.
Test only what is possible due to limitations of the condition.
There are many effective pain protocols and frequencies involving Upregulation and Therapeutic dose. Refer to the Laser Essentials Video (watch.performancepractic.com) for standard myotome testing C1 - C4; C5-T1; and L1 - S2. Twenty minutes is from the Erchonia FDA Clearance with the FX laser. A shorter laser duration is very effective for those who adjust, soft tissue, apply nutrition benefits as well as lengthen and strengthen with FIT® Clinical exercises. Ultimately you and your expertise makes the decision.
Place the EVRL/GVL #1 head over the area of involvement (AOI). The clinician may choose to place the #2 head over the nerve root (located using the myotome /dermatome chart) or the organ involved (using the Merrick chart).
Refer to the Laser Essentials video for specific protocol. Identify the area of the brain that may be involved and have the patient place a hand over their forehead and "FEEL" the pain/event that led up to the injury.
Seizures have many considerations, however, may respond incredibly to laser therapy. Consider using the traditional brain settings above. Consider the "Brain Balance Techniques" and consider using the INHIBITORY settings of Theta waves 4 - 7 (GABA) and Delta waves 1 - 4 (Serotonin).
Set up PROGRAMS of care; that is a series of visits and be consistent. "The Mohawk" laser diode position is the most popular.
Laser the frontal lobe to effect "the relays" of the brain that pertains to memory.
Top of head
Atlas / Occipital junction
Apply the Laser over the appropriate area of the brain. Start conservatively 30 seconds and then can increase time after re-evaluation on successive visits.
To prevent the "clinical warning" below - on separate visits start lasering the gut, proceed to the entire spine, cervical spine and then progress to the brain.
If you are a muscle tester perform testability and switching first on every client.
CLINICAL WARNING - I have seen significant symptomatic benefits by balancing the nervous system using low level laser therapy; standard myotomes and brain balance are some of the common applications. In rare cases when you laser the brain, seizures may increase. Why would this happen? You have excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate and aspartate and you have inhibitory neurotransmitters such as GABA, serotonin and dopamine. Increasing mitochondrial ATP synthesis can be over utilized by the imbalance of excitatory brain chemicals; or if there is a significant physical trauma to brain (severe birth injuries) where scarring has disrupted electrical signals. I cannot tell you which patients may not respond favorably; start conservatively 15 - 30 seconds and re-evaluate. This situation is rare; however, patients and doctors need to be aware of the possibilities.
Providing "Testability and Switching" from the Advanced Laser Video increases benefit and decreases any chances of concern.
Balance EFA ratio and proper nutrients.
Remove all allergens.
Apply the laser over the appropriate area of the brain. Start conservatively 15 - 30 seconds and then increase time only after re-evaluation on successive visits.

Frequencies are important but they are not the only thing that creates healing. Always remember that we ALWAYS get the healing benefits of the wavelength (635nm) and the power output (7.5 - 23 mW). These two components are very very research-proven to make ATP, increase circulation, decrease inflammation, increase nitric oxide, IL 6, IL 10, In every condition, symptom, tissue, and mitochondrial cell. The Hz are amplifiers and, in some cases, the entire difference-maker.
Shin splints are inflammation of the tendon sheath........so look at tendon myopathy.
Neurogenic Inflammation is a favorite (above) among the best soft tissue specialists in the world. And "Chronic Pain" is a popular setting.
Look at the patient history, tissues involved with "the symptom" and of course ADJUST! (in the case of shin splints very commonly exacerbated due to anterior talus and then other patient-specific subluxation, anatomical short leg patterns, weak and inflexible feet, excessive inflammation EFA ratio, and poor training methods (too much, too often, poor footwear, etc.).
Laser the area of involvement.
You may choose to position one of the outer laser diodes over the nerve root to the affected area.
Place the safety glasses on the person and laser the sinuses.
The clinician may choose in addition to laser over the colon (always related to sinus conditions).
Open the lymphatics first using the Erchonia Percussor on the Thoracic Ducts.
Place patient in the cervical Posture Pump
Heal the gut (and laser the gut) !!!! There are many known fungi and microbial overgrowth that is directly related to those suffering from sinusitis. Do the poop test and quit guessing.
Identify and remove food allergies.
Refer to the Meridian Manual for specific meridian correction points related to sinuses.
Place the FX over the area of involvement (AOI). The clinician may choose to place one of the laser heads over the nerve root (located using the myotome /dermatome chart) or the organ involved (using the Merrick chart).
Laser is used to promote healthy skin, enhance collagen, and can be applied to support any dermatological condition as well. Use the Erchonia laser with any nutritional skin enhancements will increase ATP, increase circulation, decrease reactive oxygen species, increase enzymatic activity etc.
Topicals such as coconut oil, CoQ10 salve, vitamin E, wheat germ oil, topical collagen, and hyaluronic serum supplements can be helpful.
Set up PROGRAMS of care; that is a series of visits and be consistent. The Mohawk laser diode position is the most popular.
Laser the
Frontal lobe to effect the relays of the brain that pertains to memory.
Top of head
Atlas / Occipital junction
Laser the Atlas while taking long, slow, deep breaths and include any or all of the pathways for Cranial nerve IX and X (ocular cardiac, carotid sinus, swallowing - drink a glass of water is better, etc).
There are a variety of FX laser positions (left cortex/right cerebellum you may choose instead.
Enhance with using Posture Pumps and perform the "Intra-Nasal Specific Technique" aka stick balloons up the nose and open the sinuses!
The A-Z Meridian Manual provides specific Acu Points that can be applied with magnets or acupressure.
Check Parasympathetic/Sympathetic Balance (Vagus Nerve is included)
Check Adrenals. Correct the Category 2 injury (likely in many cases).
Place over the abdomen, Small Intestine is T10 nerve root.
Place the FX over the area of involvement (AOI).
The physiological and mechanical aspects of neurogenic inflammation are an important factor in understanding soft tissue healing, trigger points, fascial restrictions, joint misalignment, and subluxations. Rolfers and practitioners that practice Structural Integration with the Erchonia Laser are masters at relieving neurogenic inflammation.
Place the center FX diode(s) over an open mouth and the outside laser heads on the throat, cheeks or thoracic ducts.
Refer to the Meridian Manual for specific meridian correction points for sore throat.
Perform CN X to amplify parasympathetics.
Drink and gargle liquid silver.
Place a head over the same side cerebellum and the other heads over the nerve root and area of involvement. If systemic place over the entire spine.
Ataxia is a neurological sign consisting of lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements. Ataxia is a non-specific clinical manifestation implying dysfunction of the parts of the nervous system that coordinate movement, such as the cerebellum.
Place the FX over the spleen and then (#2) over T8.
Place the FX over the area of involvement (AOI).
If the injury permits the patient may perform a gentle Range of Motion with the affected area.
Test only what is possible due to limitations of the condition.

Refer to the Laser Essentials Video for standard myotome testing C1 - C4; C5-T1; and L1 - S2.
Twenty minutes is from the Erchonia FDA Clearance with the FX laser.
If sprained ankle, use Slant Board, Calf Master and SlackBlock.
Place the FX over the area of involvement. Regardless of the specific neurological condition you may choose to laser of the brain or the gut or the entire spine.
This is a "Go To" setting for any acute or chronic condition patient presents with.
Immediate change in function when using activation method (strength / ROM / leg checks / chiropractic indicators). If you have the skill to identify strength and range of motion impairment and laser the involved physiological window (spine, brain, organ, meridian) a change can occur in seconds to let you know you are providing an accurate treatment.

Refer to the laser protocol for stabilization using myotomes (Laser Essentials Video).
Place the FX over the area of involvement (AOI).
If systemic place the heads over the entire spine, the long bones, gut, and the Thymus. You may have time to do only one area per treatment on a single day.
Additional Hz's to rotate are 523, 768, 660, 690, 712, 728, 960, 1203, 1902, 2600.
The initial setting is where I start, but every week (or two) the Hz's can be interchanged as Staph is a problematic pathogen for some.
Consistency is the most important factor when creating protocols.
Combining the FX 635 benefits with an Erchonia EVRL violet laser apply for added benefits to any infectious situation.
The FX 405 has significant anti-microbial benefits based upon studies validating 405nm diode.
Pre/Post Injection: Laser using frequencies above.
Post Injection
Most procedures prescribe 2 weeks minimum with absolutely no rehab / activation / exercise to the entire body. The patient or providing doctor may not want LLLT administered during this time (just because lack of experience and getting results with current protocol). I personally like immediate LLLT 2 - 3 week or if you have rental laser daily. Just do what the Stem Cell doctor prescribes initially and begin treatment when mutual time is agreed upon. The below settings may be used as Post stem cell injection.
72 Hz 27 Hz
21 Hz 220 Hz
52 Hz 122 Hz
115 Hz 153 Hz
2 weeks after stem cell shot (this allows the cells to find their appropriate home) start applying the VibePlate to enhance activity.
Face Up =Place heads over Liver, Stomach and Pancreas.
There are many nutrition supplements that can benefit: enzymes, aloe, hydrochloric acid, liquid silver, probiotics are some of the primary.
