Guest guest Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hi All, I was hoping to get some input about using our laser to its maximum. I am a stand alone rehab and pain management facility and I've been using our 850nm LASER from the Chatanooga Group for the past 2 years for arthritis, post-op cases and neuro cases. A local hospital 2 blocks from us has asked if we could partner with them to provide laser therapy for their patients. I've contacted the Chatanooga group to see if they have protocols for other medical conditions that can be treated with laser – but they do not have anything specific. I know laser is used for derm cases and I've heard it can be beneficial for feline cystitis. Does anyone have any protocols out there that they are using that you could share with me? For example, I've treated 1 lick granuloma (present for years according to the owner!)– the patient was coming twice weekly for therapy, so I did laser both days he came in for 4 weeks. The lick granuloma was starting to resolve, then the patient stopped coming. How long does it usually take for a lick granuloma to resolve? Is once weekly appropriate? Any other conditions that respond nicely to laser that I might not be aware of? These are some of the questions I'm trying to answer so that I can suggest a schedule to the general practice down the road for specific cases. Please feel free to contact me off-group if that is easier! Thanks for any and all input, Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
