I had excruciating back pain after being rear- ended in an automobile accident and having a herniated disc. My pain went away after ONLY ONE TREATMENT. This was several years ago and have not experienced any side affects 😎
@@DrBrandonNevelHello. I have a question. I suffer of mild cervical myelopathy due to disc herniation Do you think this laser therapy could help in cord compression situations?
@@mylovleybabe Yes, class 4 laser is helpful with cord compression from various causes including stenosis, disc herniations, and enlarged ligaments. I would recommend consulting with a sports chiropractor or physical therapist regarding a combination of laser therapy, PT, and cervical traction. Many of my patients have been able to avoid surgery with a combination of these treatments along with chiropractic care. Good luck!
I'm a pain physician from Pakistan . N I have expertise in Interventional Pain Procedures. I must second that Class IV Laser is a miracle therapy. It healed my chronic planter fascitis in a single session. Later my MCL & MM tears were also healed, I believe less than 4 sessions.
Having this done on Monday. Have herniated L4/5 and a completely inflamed SI joint. Hopefully all the hype is real my chiropractor said this therapy is amazing.
Today i got the therapy, and I am feeling pain in that exact point, and waiting for the results, by the way i am suffering from mild disk buldge with no compression , age 25.
I hope I can find a provider in my area as qualified as you. If I cannot find a provider as qualified as you in my area I will have to an appointment with you
I have a lot of nerve pain, inflammation, bursitis, etc all along my right side from various issues over the years. I started myofascia PT a couple of years ago, and do mainly self maintenance at home after running completely dry on money after all I’d spend to no relief. What does this cost?
does laser have thermal effect? if yes, it should be contraindicated in acute inflammatory cases or acute edema , right?because in physiotherapy heat is contraindicated in those acute cases.what do you think?
For any acute injuries, we use a pulsed setting which eliminates any thermal effect. The pulsed setting creates no heat and allows all the laser's energy to be concentrated over the injury.
@@SarkisKlinik No, the pulsed setting reduces the inflammation and does not create a large vasodilation effect. In addition to reduced inflammation and pain, it stimulates collagen metabolism.
hey dr brandon, curious question is laser therapy or prolotherapy is better? My friend has also been suggesting prolotherapy. And i researched it also really high effective and successful. So which is better dr?
Laser therapy and prolotherapy cannot be directly compared as they are different treatments and may be more appropriate based on the patient and injury. Overall, prolotherapy is more invasive since it’s an injection but has a good success rate for some conditions. Good luck!
Hi Dr. I am having difficulty sleeping for a while now with neck pain. Did several sections of chiropractic treatment and it didn’t heal. Dr. Asked me to have a MRI and it showed numerous problems with C2-C3 / C4-C5 and C6-C7. I started the laser IV treatment and after both section felt more pain then before. I do not if I should continue... I live in Hollywood FL
Sorry to hear your are in pain. In my experience, the more pain a patient is in, the less laser power should be used. If too much energy is used, the pain can become worse. I recommend talking with your doctor and let them know you are in more pain after treatment. They may want to alter the laser settings or discontinue laser treatment.
Hi doctor! I have a question, what would be the difference in the frecuency setting using a 500Hz or a 4000Hz when is better to use a low Hz and a high Hz
•2500HZ - 5000HZ is for acute or inflammation. •250-2000HZ is bio-stimulation •200HZ is great for neurogenic pain nerve pain •1-20Hz is for analgesic action •10,000HZ is good for bacteria and fungus •20,000HZ is good for virus skin infections Hope that helps
I have a degeneration in L3 L4 causing extreme nerve pain in legs and back pain. Would your high power lazer be a good tool for this. Does insurance cover this now?
When my patients have lumbar disc degeneration, I often use a combination of laser therapy, spinal decompression, and chiropractic treatment. Do you have X-rays and a MRI? As of now, the insurance companies in Florida are not covering laser therapy but I would check with your insurance company or doctor’s office.
I have done two sessions in the past 10 days and I feel zero relief or mobility, I have a diffuse disc bulge at L4 L5. The chiropractor I'm seeing said I should notice a difference after the fourth session. What do you think Doctor how many sessions will I need and should I do spinel decompression with it. I'm just giving up since I have been doing physical therapy for for the past month and I still have pain all the time
I often use a combination of spinal decompression and laser for lumbar disc bulges. I would consult your chiropractor and see what other options there are for treatment if you didn’t respond to laser treatment. Good luck!
Hi Dr. Ash, thanks for watching! I have a Diowave 60 watt laser. I don't recommend any specific laser. There are plenty of really good ones on the market and the technology keeps getting better and better.
Yes, both class 3 and class 4 lasers are useful for many ankle injuries. I use a class 4 high power laser for ankle injuries combined with chiropractic and physical therapy. The laser is safe for all ages.
Yes, laser therapy can help with rheumatoid arthritis. Metaanalysis studies recommend laser therapy for short term relief of pain and morning stiffness in RA, particularly since it has few side effects. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10955339/
Laser therapy will help the nerves and discs heal and reduce inflammation associated with a pinched nerve. In my office, I often combine the laser therapy with spinal decompression (to help decompress the nerve), physical therapy, and chiropractic adjustments.
I have pinched nerves between L4 and L5 (disc herniation) and been told there is nothing they can do for me. I've had this for over 3 years now. I live between Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT. Is there anyone near me that is competent with this therapeutic option I would like to try it based on the doctors comments? Thanks very much.
@@DrBrandonNevel Thanks for replying. I had steroid shots that did not work and I also had a nerve ablation done in an outpatient surgical place that was supposed to suppress the nerve response going back to the brain it did not work either. I also tried PT and one of the techs tried a decompression technique that actually made it much worse so I stopped going to PT. Thanks very much!

@@DrBrandonNevel I'm curious and interested in this treatment is this low intensity laser therapy? And can i full recover from my si joint dysfunction and return back to my martial art sports and strength & conditioning training?
@@Blue_Tsuki This laser is capable of both low and high intensity laser therapy. It’s more powerful than “cold laser” therapy. Cold lasers use 5-500 milliwatts. This laser ranges from 500-60,000 milliwatts and can be used on a continuous or pulsed setting. How well it will work on your specific injury depends on many factors but I’ve seen it work well for many causes of low back pain including sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction.
@@DrBrandonNevel ouhhh, so basically laser therapy can go from high and low intensity therapy. It is not just one sided it can go both high and low? Because i interested in this therapy, as i have si joint dysfunction, after the full treatment i can make full recovery and safe return back to my martial art sports and strength & condition training right?
@@Blue_Tsuki yes, every injury is different and requires different laser settings. Laser setting and intensity usually changes throughout treatment based on response and healing.
It will help heal injured discs such as disc bulges and herniated discs. However, I haven’t seen any research showing it increases disc spacing by itself. I usually use it in combination with traction like spinal decompression.
After 1.5 yr of slip disc..my neurological issue has decreased..no pain on leg..but my back still hurts..n have problem in movement..i was think for injection..does laser therapy help me ??
Laser therapy can help but I would recommend you talk with a doctor to see what would be the best treatment options. Have you tried physical therapy or chiropractic?
Please tell me. I'm in my third week of doing this and no change. I have L5 S1 issue. The excersizes i could do cant even do now. How long will i start feeling different. I'm dying!! I leave with pain next day :(
@@danishsheikhsheikh9773 Every disc injury is different, but conservative treatment for disc herniations often include chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, traction and spinal decompression. Sometimes people require injections and surgery if conservative treatment fails.
@@DrBrandonNevel my physiotherapist says that traction won't help you now because the tissues are out of disc and pinching that sciatic nerve. Is it true when tissues are out we should not trying decompression?
Yes, "slipped disks" are also referred to as disk herniations and disc bulges and can benefit from laser therapy. Depending on the specific disc injury, I often use a combination of chiropractic, physical therapy, spinal decompression, and laser therapy. Good luck!
The power, pulse, and frequency vary based on many factors including the type of injury, amount of pain and inflammation, area treated, etc. The pulsed laser can be held over the areas treated for a longer period of time since there is no heat unlike continuous wave laser.
Because I work with class IV 980nm / 30 w Here in jordan So it's possible to hold it above the vertbre in LBP so I can increase the pulse mode and lower the frequency and power, for most effective ruslt. Thanks again Dr ( I'm a licensed physiotherapist)
I recommend you see a medical doctor, chiropractor, and/or physiotherapist. I am in Jupiter, Florida, USA. Where are you located? Maybe I can recommend a doctor near your if I have a colleague nearby.
I’m sorry to hear you’re in so much pain. The laser will help reduce inflammation and help your spine heal. I recommend seeing a doctor, chiropractor, and/or physical therapist. Depending on your curvature, most scoliosis patients respond well with a combo of chiropractic and physical therapy.
@@DrBrandonNevel Can this laser help me feel pain free from 3 2.5 mm herniated discs and two facet diseases? Can't bend forward or backward can't do anything
This treatment helps with disc herniations but every injury is different. How well it helps is dependent on your specific injury. I would recommend seeing a good sports chiropractor or physical therapist to get their option.

@@DrBrandonNevel No he didn't. Any advice would be grateful. Massage, sauna and physiotherapy can only do so much. It's the neurogenic inflammation that is killing me.
@@annap1191 I would start by talking to your doctors about implementing high dose laser therapy and see if you’re a candidate for non-surgical spinal decompression. Sometimes chiropractic treatment can restore normal mobility to the stiff and fixated joints and reduce neurological pain as well.

@@kaushalyayadav6648 What did they say is wrong (diagnosis)? I recommend you discuss your treatment goals with your chiropractor and see if anything needs to be altered or if there are any alternative treatments to help speed improvement.

Laser therapy does help tinnitus in most studies that I've read but some studies have had contradictory conclusions. Here are links to 2 research articles: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3063436/ www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3830897/
@@DrBrandonNevel thanks for replying i am going for this option as all of the other doctors advice me for a surgery .do you think it will help me to stay away from.surgery ?
I usually recommend trying conservative treatment before surgery if possible including chiropractic, physical therapy, massage, spinal decompression, laser therapy, and at times injections. I have had great results with the laser helping prevent surgery. Most surgeons don’t know about high powered laser therapy yet. If a patient has to have surgery, the laser will speed the recovery greatly!
I have a question about this surgery becausr i have lower back pain and l4 l5 got damage do this surgery is beneficial or not because i already done with all other options other than surgery..peoples are saying dont to surgery plz explain sir my age is 29
I'm sorry to hear you have damage at L4/L5. This treatment is laser therapy, not surgery. Unless there is severe and/or progressive neurological symptoms, I usually tell my patients to try conservative treatments for disc bulges and herniations before surgery. Each injury is different and I would recommend seeing a good sports chiropractor or physical therapist for an evaluation before surgery.
I would speak with your doctor and discuss different treatment options. Degenerative disc often also respond well with traction, spinal decompression, chiropractic, and/or physical therapy.
I'm sorry to hear of your cancer diagnosis and side effects from the treatment. Laser treatment over sites of cancer treatment (ie: radiation therapy) remains controversial. While the laser can help the damaged tissue heal, some studies show low-level laser therapy (LLLT) increase cancer cell proliferation so shouldn't be used directly over areas with cancer present. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6122283/ However, there are numerous studies showing laser therapy benefit for oral mucositis secondary to radiation and chemotherapy: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22450151/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24511199/ If you find anything that helps with the side effects of the cancer treatments, please let me know. You are in my thoughts.

@@cindyalam5795 The National Stem Cell Clinic in Houston has a similar Diowave laser as the one I use in my office. Otherwise, search for local doctors using "CLASS 4 therapeutic laser."

Can u find me someone' in California?
Does it work on Tinnitus?
Laser therapy does help tinnitus in most studies that I've read but some studies have had contradictory conclusions. Here are links to 2 research articles:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3063436/
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3830897/
Is it helpful in sciatica pain?
Yes. High power laser can help with many causes of sciatica.
@@DrBrandonNevel thanks for replying i am going for this option as all of the other doctors advice me for a surgery .do you think it will help me to stay away from.surgery ?
I usually recommend trying conservative treatment before surgery if possible including chiropractic, physical therapy, massage, spinal decompression, laser therapy, and at times injections. I have had great results with the laser helping prevent surgery. Most surgeons don’t know about high powered laser therapy yet. If a patient has to have surgery, the laser will speed the recovery greatly!
@@DrBrandonNevel well thanks for the advice that really motivates me a lot i will go through with thus surgery in upcoming week
@@DrBrandonNevel What about Stem cells, Prolotherapy, PRP vs the Laser What is better for my 3 2.5 mm herniated discs?? Please help 🙏
I have a question about this surgery becausr i have lower back pain and l4 l5 got damage do this surgery is beneficial or not because i already done with all other options other than surgery..peoples are saying dont to surgery plz explain sir my age is 29
I'm sorry to hear you have damage at L4/L5. This treatment is laser therapy, not surgery. Unless there is severe and/or progressive neurological symptoms, I usually tell my patients to try conservative treatments for disc bulges and herniations before surgery. Each injury is different and I would recommend seeing a good sports chiropractor or physical therapist for an evaluation before surgery.
Ur hilarious 😆☺️😆!
Thank you and thanks for watching Christina!
I tried laser treatments 5 disgenerated discs and so much pain 2 Trestments a week , i hour each what can i do ?
I would speak with your doctor and discuss different treatment options. Degenerative disc often also respond well with traction, spinal decompression, chiropractic, and/or physical therapy.
I’m experiencing nerve pain from tissue scaring in the neck from throat cancer treatments.
How will this form of treatment work on this area?
Thanks
I'm sorry to hear of your cancer diagnosis and side effects from the treatment. Laser treatment over sites of cancer treatment (ie: radiation therapy) remains controversial. While the laser can help the damaged tissue heal, some studies show low-level laser therapy (LLLT) increase cancer cell proliferation so shouldn't be used directly over areas with cancer present. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6122283/
However, there are numerous studies showing laser therapy benefit for oral mucositis secondary to radiation and chemotherapy:
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22450151/
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24511199/
If you find anything that helps with the side effects of the cancer treatments, please let me know. You are in my thoughts.
