Low Intensity Laser Therapy
Low Intensity Laser Therapy To Relieve Pain
What can you do if you’ve tried every conceivable way to relieve pain? You’ve been treated by antiinflammatory drugs, cortisone, painkillers, physiotherapy, massage and finally, surgery. Yet the pain continues unabated. A technique, known as “Low Intensity Laser Therapy” (LILT) could be the answer.
Dr. Fred Kahn is Director of the Meditech Laser and Rehabilitation Centre in Toronto, and a specialist in pain control. He believes in curing the pain by curing the cause. I’ve talked to several of his patients about how LILT eased their pain and changed their lives.
PC, a 43-year-old jogger, collided with a glassdoor on returning to her hotel. When the door shattered, a large fragment of glass penetrated her knee. It left her with osteoarthritis and a life on crutches. Doctors claimed knee replacement was her only hope to relieve pain. After 11 treatments with LILT over a five-week period, PC threw away the crutches and returned to work.
GM, an 85-year-old former World War II Pilot, had four back operations. A surgical error caused nerve damage, another resulted in infection and 26 weeks in hospital. Cysts formed in the spine and he required a morphine pump to ease the pain.
Now after a three-month treatment with LILT he walks upright without a cane and is being taken off morphine. He says he’s 75 percent improved and can’t believe its happened.
A 17-year-old equestrienne had the misfortune of a 1000 pound horse falling and rolling over her hip joint. This left her with a visible limp and an audible click when she walked. Specialists told her they had little to offer but painkillers for her pain and drugs to treat her subsequent depression.
When seen by Dr. Kahn she had extensive soft tissue damage in the hip and thigh and so much injury to the joint capsule of the hip that it almost popped out with every step.
After four treatments with LILT the pain has subsided and she stopped pain medication. She continued treatment three times a week until she returned to a normal gait.
LILT jumps-starts the body’s natural healing process by sending energy into the muscles and joints that’s then transformed into biochemical energy. This decreases swelling, accelerates healing time and increases the pain threshold.
