Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Docs- I have been searching for a less traumatizing way to stimulate healing in cases of tendonitis/tendonosis. I have utilized transverse friction massage and deep tissue massage; ultrasound; percussive massage. I've looked into Graston technique (which has good evidence, but is $$$ and still very uncomfortable for the patient). I'd love to find compelling evidence for laser, but what wavelength?, where are the supportive studies?? Any comment would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 , there are several abstracts on laser healing at the microlightcorp.com website. This is the 830 nm wavelength unit that was the first to receive FDA clearance, and 830 is the patented wavelength that seems the best for promoting healing in human connective tissue. Competetion has brought the price down and you can now buy a microlight model for $4500. Contact me offline for personal experience.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 , Tendonitis is a bugger and typically you will NOT have any positive results with a nasty case unless there is some pain and uncomfortability. The tendon must swell in order for healing to take place due to the lack of a major blood supply to the tendons. So consider this while making your decision. (include Prolo therapy on your list as well as a last resort. It has great results) There is a cream out there that I have found to be very effective in eliminating some if not most of the pain associated with Tendonitis. It is called CT cream. They offer a money back gaurantee as well. http://ctcream.com/ check it out. also dont' forget to put them on B6 vitamins and lots of water Dr. ph Medlin D.C.Spine Tree Chiropractic1627 NE Alberta St. #6Portland, OR 97211Ph: 503-788-6800c: 503-889-6204 tendonosis Docs- I have been searching for a less traumatizing way to stimulate healing in cases of tendonitis/tendonosis.
