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 the XLR8 over the area of involvement (AOI). The clinician may choose to (#2) laser over the myotome/dermatome to the affected area..
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.)®.
An alternative set of numbers that have been used by practitioners if scar tests weak from muscle testing.

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.

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).
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.

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 (9,16,33,36) among the best soft tissue specialists in the world. And "Chronic Pain" 9, 16, 5000, 10000 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.).

Topicals such as coconut oil, CoQ10 salve, vitamin E, wheat germ oil, topical collagen, and hyaluronic serum supplements can be helpful.
Place the XLR8 over the entire spine.
Laser each lobe of the brain.
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).
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 the XLR8 over T 12 nerve root and over the Small Intestine.
Place the XLR8 over the area of involvement (AOI). 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).
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.
Works best to place the XLR8 in a plastic bag and laser directly in the mouth.

Perform CN X to amplify parasympathetics.
Drink and gargle liquid silver.
Place the XLR8 over the same side cerebellum and over the ataxic muscle. You may choose to laser over the nerve root to the 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 XLR8 over the spleen. The clinician may choose to laser over the myotome/dermatome to the affected area, T8.

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.

If systemic place laser over entire spine and then (#2) over the long bones and the thymus.
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.
The EVRL has significant anti-microbial benefits based upon studies validating 405nm diode.
Pre/Post Injection: Laser using frequencies above.
Place the XLR8 over the area of involvement (AOI). 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).
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.
A1: 21 Hz
A2: 72 Hz
B1: 27 Hz
B2: 153 Hz
2 weeks after stem cell shot (this allows the cells to find their appropriate home) start applying the VibePlate to enhance activity.
Place the XLR8 over the stomach. The clinician may choose to (#2) laser over T6.
There are many nutrition supplements that can benefit: enzymes, aloe, hydrochloric acid, liquid silver, probiotics are some of the primary.
Place the XLR8 in a plastic bag directly in an open mouth.
If the individual has strep throat place a plastic bag over laser head and laser directly inside mouth; throat for 3 cycles. Doing this 1X per day is usually very helpful. If it is a family member it can be done every 3 hours.
I had had quite a few patients with strep throat so bad it looked like cottage cheese inside their mouth (and in some of the cases antibiotics did zero for seven days before they came in) and it is impressive how effective laser therapy has worked. Don't wait seven days, use immediately at onset.
Gargle with 2-3 tablespoons of silver sol and swallow.
Use any other nutritional supplements to enhance immune system.
Place the XLR8 in a plastic bag directly in an open mouth.
Although the above settings have worked very well for a long time it is always good to have another option. These Hz have been shared to me by pediatric specialists in the natural health field.
Place the XLR8 over Cortex (opposite side body damage) and then you may choose to laser over entire spine.
Start out conservatively and increase time as appropriate. A little laser therapy more often is a lot better than a lot, all at once. Repeat up to 1 - 4x-day.
Strokes are a condition where the practitioner can "just turn the laser on and get out of the way of the healing."
Most practitioners start with the general Upregulation setting, Brain Level 1 will get results; consistency of treatment is vital when dealing with strokes.
Activate pathways when the person is capable of using the muscle testing techniques taught in the Laser Essential Video and progress to the advanced muscle testing methods shown in the Advanced Laser Video series.
Refer to and use Alpha, Beta or Gamma Waves over the injured cortex.
The author prefers not to use Delta Waves (or even Theta waves) due to stroke victims already are slow due to an explosion of slow brain waves and an low amount of beta. But the wavelength and power output of Erchonia laser has proven very beneficial even when used with these or similar settings.
Perform activity such as grip, rubber band extensions, dexterity balls. You may need to start with the unaffected side and when possible the symptomatic side. Just holding a dexterity ball (without dropping) will be the first "active" option on severe symptomatic side.
VibePlate is the best initial modality to activate the nervous system of a stroke patient. Many options from a single foot/hand placement specific to the stroke or whole body vibration works great even if the person is sitting in a wheelchair. This is a fantastic help by itself but better with laser!
Place the XLR8 over Cortex (opposite side body damage) and then you may choose to laser over entire spine.
Start out conservatively and increase time as appropriate. A little laser therapy more often is a lot better than a lot, all at once. Repeat up to 1 - 4x-day.
NOTE: The above settings are not my preferred choice, but this manual is not about how I practice and a consortium of information of respected sources as well. But I have been taught many injury patterns from a Brain EEG research perspective and that makes sense and is reproducible and agreed upon from decades of research.
When a stroke occurs it also creates a high imbalance of Delta waves (1-4) and therefore these people think and move slowly. I know 1000's of doctors and have heard testimonials of 100's of stroke victims while using the standard 4, 9, 33 and 60. Although the number 4 is Delta waves and they already have too much Delta waves this is reminder of the benefits of wavelength and power output. But yet Hz's are amplifiers and in cases truly can be the determining factor.
Be a good doctor and observe and keep an open mind of what is best to help that specific person. Have a system and a philosophy but do not be afraid to listen and go out of the norm after 12-20 visits if results seem delayed.
Place the XLR8 NEAR BUT NOT IN the eye (directly around the orbit). Then over the Atlas.
With any eye condition it is always appropriate to do the CN III, CN IV, and CN VI to insure proper nerve flow to the area.
NOTE: Rub the stye with a solid gold ring (it has to be pure gold). Crazy/weird? That is what I thought when I was told this. Until I tried it on numerous patients, and it has always worked.
Place the XLR8 over the subluxation. 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).
64 = Subluxation specific by numerous different technique researchers. The other settings are complimentary to upper motor neuron involvement (safety pin cycle cerebellum / cortex).
Place the XLR8 over the burned area.
Place the XLR8 over the swollen ankles. The clinician may choose to (#2) laser over the lymphatic thoracic ducts, heart, liver, kidneys and/or brain stem.
In some cases, you may need to start with a lower time limit and gradually progress.
See lympathic and provide percussion protocol.
The Sympathetic nerves are T1 - L2. These settings can be used on other areas of the body but works well over the dominant sympathetic segments.
By activating Parasympathetics (CN III, VII, IX, X) this will inhibit sympathetics.
