STUDY: What's up with 1064nm?
What's going on with this "new" laser wavelength of 1064nm? Find out how this wavelength compares to more traditional PBM wavelengths like 830nm, as well as the reasons to use 1064nm in this research review! "There are a few reasons for utilizing a 1064 nm laser. First, the absorption of water at 1064 nm is relatively weak, lower than that at 950-1000 nm and comparable to that at 900 nm (see the following figure). Second, light at this wavelength can penetrate deeper in tissue than other wavelengths shorter than 1000 nm used for LLLT because of lower light scattering. For example, 1064 nm light penetrates the human hand better than 660 nm or 980 nm, and comparable to 830 nm [data of Karl H. Norris, from The Science of Photobiology (KC Smith, ed., Plenum Press, 1977; p. 400)]. Since our future application of LLLT targets on transcranial laser stimulation or photobiomodulation, it is definitely beneficial if the light can penetrate deeper in tissue. Third, the wavelength 1064 nm is still at the upper absorption band of the redox state of CCO 1 meaning that a 1064 nm laser will be absorbed to stimulate the reduction-oxidation reaction of CCO, as we needed for this study. Fourth, this project wished to examine whether the 1064-nm laser was able to stimulate or generate a reasonable amount of changes in HbO and CCO concentrations, even using a non-optimal laser wavelength. For future studies, given the absorption spectra of water and redox state of CCO, it might be optimal to use a laser near the absorption peak of CCO (e.g., at ~830 nm) where water absorption is also lower than that at 1064 nm."

REVIEW: Inflammatory Arthritis and Light Therapy
Today Dr. Rountree and Kristi discuss a 2020 study on laser therapy and its mechanisms of “undoing” inflammatory arthritis and juvenile arthritis. Inflammatory arthritis is just one form of arthritis and it stems from an overabundance of cellular inflammatory signals without proper counterbalance of signaling. Cytokine signaling and T-cell function skew toward inflammation and tissue destruction rather than repair and healing. Laser therapy is an excellent tool for arthritis as it provides cells with photons for energy, stimulating the cellular mechanisms for repair and rejuvenation and reducing the inflammatory over-reaction.

STUDIES: Prevent and Manage Chronic Low Back Pain Successfully
Nearly everyone will experience lower back pain at some point. Proper management of acute episodes can prevent the onset of chronic pain. Proper management means following the guidelines, yet the research says practitioners in the US often use standalone steroids, surgical referrals, and opioid medications in non-concordant care. What are the guidelines? Are you compliant? If your patients are already dealing with chronic pain, how can you manage their cases successfully? When non-drug therapies like laser therapy are provided, patients will be at much lower risk of alcohol and substance abuse, less suicidal ideation and attempts, and improved quality of life.

DISCUSSION: “Evidence based practice” may not mean what we think it means
This is Part 2 of a two-part LTI provider discussion, where we look at the latest research and commentaries on laser therapy for low back pain. The discussion is expanded to include discussion on medical research and what it can or cannot tell us about medicine in general. Why does the medical field demand more and more extensive research for a clearly safe intervention like laser therapy while commonly performing irreversible surgeries with almost no evidence for efficacy? Are there medical practices and procedures that happen every day, without the proper research to back them? Studies mentioned in this episode America performs far more CT and MRI scans than other countries. There’s ‘virtually no evidence’ that’s helpful, researchers say.
