Video Summary
Greetings, health enthusiasts! I’m Dr. Rob Silverman, Amazon best-selling author of “Inside Out Health” and a fervent advocate for the integration of low-level laser therapy into health practices. Today, I’m thrilled to guide you through its innovative application, shedding light on its phases, practicalities, and unprecedented results.
Understanding the Three Phases of Care
Every injury has a story. And like a book, it unfolds in chapters or what I call, the three phases of care:
1. Acute Phase: The Inflammatory Stage
- Duration: First 3-5 days post-injury.
- Nature: Highly protective, marked by inflammation.
2. Subacute Phase: Repair and Remodeling
- Duration: Day 4 up to 8 weeks.
- Nature: Structures repair and remodel. Features fibroblastic proliferation and collagen alignment.
3. Wellness Phase: The Ongoing Performance
- Goal: Attain this phase for long-term health. A continued wellness and performance phase.
Note: A Chronic Phase, spanning 3-6 months, occurs when injuries linger. It indicates ongoing repair, with the presence of scar tissue, adhesions, and fibrosis.
Navigating the Injury Cycle
Every movement and posture narrates a tale of the injury. Within this cycle:
- Muscle Imbalances: Strong, weak, hypertonic, and hypotonic muscles impact posture and movement.
- Faulty Motor Learning: A “chip” in the brain that affects movement.
- Altered Joint Forces & Proprioception: Disrupted balance between the nervous and muscular system, causing joint degeneration.
- Joint Degeneration: Leads to pain and inflammation, circling back to muscle imbalances.
Healing: A Transformational Journey
Injury disrupts our body’s harmony – from pristine tissues, muscles, and ligaments to scar tissues, affecting nerves, arteries, and veins. Understanding this transformation is vital, and more importantly, knowing that healing, though sometimes painful, is indeed a journey towards restoration.
Integrating Erchonia® Lasers into Treatment
With Erchonia® Lasers, we’ve broken the phases of care into acute, subacute, and performance & wellness. Each phase has its frequency. For example, with the EVRL (Erchonia Violet Red Laser), the first three days of acute injury use three distinct frequencies, subtly changing to adapt to the patient’s needs.
The Power of Red & Violet Lights
Erchonia® Lasers leverage two impactful lights:
1. Red Light (635 nm)
Promotes:
- Energy regulation
- Inflammation reduction
- ATP production & protein synthesis
- Pain reduction
- Microcirculation of blood and lymph
- Enhanced cell-to-cell communication
2. Violet Light (405 nm)
Excels in:
- Electromagnetic transfer of energy
- Strengthening body defenses
- Rapid response to immune function
- Releasing and healing fascial adhesions
- Vagus nerve stimulation
Together, these lights offer a holistic, complementary approach to healing.
The Personal Touch: My Journey with Laser Therapy
For me, the power of laser therapy isn’t just clinical; it’s personal. I once suffered from congenital torticollis, and when traditional treatments ceased to help, laser therapy emerged as my beacon. From self-experimentation to treating friends and family, I’ve now built a thriving practice around it.
Final Thoughts
Low-level laser therapy isn’t just a treatment; it’s a breakthrough modality of the 21st century. It has transformed countless lives, including mine. Embracing it is embracing a future of holistic health, and I’m excited to guide you on this journey. Should you have any inquiries or need further insights, feel free to connect. Always yours in health, Dr. Rob Silverman.
