Some research has indicated that PBM could be applied to the blood and platelets during the preparation of the PRP solution in order to increase the regenerative functions. Join us to hear a research summary and learn how some doctors are using their lasers to "activate" PRP prior to injection. Dr. Rountree also goes over what a 3-step protocol might look like.

Knowing how to properly apply photobiomodulation is critical to get the results your patients need. Various irradiances of near infrared light have been shown to be beneficial for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Today Dr. Rountree and Kristi discuss a study on the mechanistic basis for beneficial outcomes regarding laser therapy by near infrared light on neuropathic pain. Follow along as they discuss why a combination of high irradiance and low irradiance treatments can be used to not only block pain signals, but to also alter the nerve’s pathology and inflammation to stimulate repair.
