Laser Therapy a Clinical Manual

The manual is divided into two parts. The first portion explains how lasers work, parameters of laser light - wavelength/dosage/power/pulsing etc., how to calculate dosage accurately, the physics of light in tissue, physiological effects, contraindications, special considerations, laser classifications, what to look for in choosing a laser and how to treat.

The second portion presents specific clinical approaches for more than forty conditions, with illustrations, point selection, dosage and techniques to address:

Alopecia Areata Arthritis Asthma Back Pain Bell's Palsy Belpharitis, Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma Bunions Candida/Dampness in Middle Burner Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Chronic Fatigue Cystitis Detox Dizziness, Tinnitus, Meniere's Disease Endometriosis Facial Rejuvenation Fibromyalgia Ganglion Cysts/Skin Tags Headaches - Frontal/Migraines/Vertex Headaches (Occipital, Whiplash, Tension) - Cervical Pain Heel Spurs/Plantar Facitis/Heel Pain Infertility Intestinal Problems (Constipation, Diarrhea, Colitis, Crohn's) Knee Pain Leg Cramps, Restless Leg Syndrome Menopause Neck Pain Neuropathy/Neuropathic Pain Organ and Endocrine Treatment Rotator Cuff Syndrome/Frozen Shoulder Scar Tissue/Adhestions Sciatica Shingles Sinusitis Spleen Qi Deficiency Sports Medicine Stress Fractures/Shin Splints Stroke/Windstroke Systemic Treatment Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD/TMJ) Tendonitis Tennis Elbow/Golfers Elbow Toothache/Facial Pain Wounds/Burns Yin Deficiency
