Face down or seated = Place one head over the Atlas, another laser head over the T5 nerve root and the third laser head over the lower spine. Passive lasering is fine or apply Riddler Sequences with your correction by Tap over T8, T10, and T12 on phases of respiration while the patient places a hand over their forehead and FEELS the nausea.
REMEMBER to check for yeast, fungus, molds, bacteria, viruses, parasites etc. Nutritional support of enzymes, detox and probiotics are essential for many. Perform food allergy lab testing if persistent.
Clinical Note: Refer to Heartburn 2 and use Manuka Honey, enzymes and hydrochloric acid, aloe, and pre/probiotics when appropriate.
The first FDA clearance for Erchonia (and the entire Laser Therapy industry) was in 2002 for Neck and Shoulder Pain.
There are many effective pain protocols and frequencies involving Upregulation and Therapeutic dose. Refer to the Laser Essentials Video for the full explanation and demonstration using Upregulation and Therapeutic dose procedures.
Refer to the Laser Essentials Video for standard myotome testing C1 - C4; C5-T1.
Brain - it is common for practitioners to laser the brain for all conditions, especially pain conditions.
A Level 1 Brain correction is programming the settings 4 Hz, 9 Hz, 18, 33 Hz, 60 Hz, 528 for set up as Mohawk or alter positions during program of care (ex. Frontal lobe and both cerebellum).
The entire Advanced Laser Techniques Video (super systems of the body); Gait, Sympathetic/Parasympathetic, Brain Balance, Structural Dynamics all apply to overcoming any chronic condition, neck, shoulder, back, foot and knee pain included.
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.
Place the FX over the area of involvement (AOI), is commonly performed while doing a manual soft tissue release to affect the nerve function and pathway. The clinician may choose to (#2) laser over the nerve root (located using the myotome/dermatome chart) or the organ involved (using the Merrick chart).
Clinical Note:
If Neurogenic Inflammation this is a new term / condition to you, it is an incredibly important concept. The basic premise is that nerves should be able to slide through muscle and connective tissue similar to dental floss.
When the nerve itself becomes affected by inflammation, a pipe cleaner effect can take place. The physiological and mechanical aspects of neurogenic inflammation are an important factor in understanding fascial restrictions, joint misalignment, and subluxations. Rolfers and practitioners that practice Structural Integration with the Erchonia Laser are masters at relieving neurogenic inflammation.
Refer to the laser protocol for stabilization using myotomes (Laser Essentials Video) and for complete 3D Body Map® exam and corrections apply Dr. Jerome's Fitness Integration Technique®.
Place the FX over the area of involvement (AOI).
The above basic settings are applicable to ANY condition when the patient first presents, including Neuropathy.
Refer to the Laser Essentials Video for standard myotome testing C1 - C4; C5-T1; L1 - S2. Only test what is possible due to limitations of the condition.
I will generally wait till appointment #2 before I introduce the patient to VibePlate. On first visit I adjust, laser, use percussion and start them on nutrition (mostly from lab results received already).
Balance Essential Fatty Acids
Be aware of medication induced neuropathy, CoQ10 depletion / B Complex depletion due to cholesterol lowering drugs.
Place the FX over the area of involvement (AOI).
Face Up (or seated with head back) place the middle diode in the middle of the forehead and the other two heads on each side of the nose (under the eye orbit).
B6 is symptomatically recommended for numbness. I prefer giving a B-Complex. Magnesium, potassium and EFA ratio balance are highly favored by the author.
Provide adjustment correction.
Provide soft tissue correction and use the Percussor with the appropriate attachment.
Use VibePlate to increase neurological and muscle enhancements, increase circulation.
Thereare two key forms of Nystagmus: pathological and physiological, with variationswithin each type. Nystagmus may be caused by food allergies or allergies totoxins, environment, nutritional deficiency impairing nervous system; such as alack of inhibitory neurotransmitters etc. Also consider congenital, centralnervous system disorders, toxicity, or medication side effects. If an eyemuscle is torn due to trauma that is a surgical correction. If the muscle isweak due to a nerve trauma (such as a grade 3 muscle weakness ortho test) lasertherapy works great to turn on as you see with standard myotome testing.
I havetreated numerous cases of nystagmus with very good success. First take ahistory and identify causative factors listed above; if any remove theinhibitor such as recent change or added medication when symptoms started. Thecorrection with Erchonia laser is to reset the C.N. for vision. Specifically,CN III, IV and VI. with both eyes and cover one eye; one at a time and performMuscle Response Testing to identify dysfunctional muscle / nerve relationship.
