Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with no cure and few treatment options. Cases of Parkinson’s disease have increased due to aging populations and longer disease duration. In this episode, Dr. Rountree and Kristi review a 2021 study on how laser and light therapy has been safely used to stimulate neural pathways in the brain. Transcranial light therapy has positive effects on the tissues of the brain; reducing inflammation of the brain and stimulating tissues at the cellular level to help develop new neural pathways.

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) face several challenges due to deficits in social function and communication with distinct patterns of behaviors that can be difficult to manage and even disruptive. Laser and light therapy can be used for transcranial photobiomodulation to enhance mitochondrial activity and ATP synthesis, increasing functional activity and cognition. Listen along as Dr. Rountree and Kristi discuss a 2022 study on ASD and laser therapy, how the treatment was administered, what kind of side effects may occur and what the outcomes were for the ASD patients. Also, learn what steps you can take today to help your autistic child.

What is the rotator cuff? And what should be done in the case of an injury? Do I have to get surgery? Join Kristi and Dr. Rountree as they explain the function of the shoulder rotator cuff, how to catch an injury early, and how to properly address the injury so that you may avoid surgery. Learn about the importance of exercise and strengthening in order to protect the rotator cuff structures, and how laser therapy and PRP injections can help with the healing process vs. corticosteroid injections.

While laser therapy is a great tool to help reduce diabetic neuropathy symptoms and promote healing, there are a few things that diabetic patients can do in addition to laser therapy to help reduce neuropathy. Dr. Rountree and Kristi discuss the importance of diet, exercise, as well as things you should avoid as a diabetic. Dr. Rountree explains how cellular mechanisms are affected by diabetes, thereby causing neuropathy, and he goes over how Alpha Lipoic Acid works on a cellular level to fight the progression of neuropathy.
