The Tampa Bay Lightning Uses the MR4 ACTIV
  "We have evaluated and tested various lasers and Multi Radiance Medical's MR4 ACTIV provides unparalleled pain relief and healing. The ability to treat both acute and chronic injuries not only in the training room, but also on the bench and while traveling makes this our go-to modality. Our goal is to keep our players on the ice and the MR4 ACTIV helps us achieve that goal. We couldn't be more pleased with the laser's results and the support provided by Multi Radiance Medical." Tampa Bay Lightning Tom Mulligan PT, ATC, CSCS Mike Poirier MS, ATC/L, CSCS |
Treating Carpal Tunnel
 Treating carpal tunnel involves relieving pressure on the median nerve and stretching the ligaments. It also involves lessening pressure by helping blood flow out the carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel exercises have been shown in some research to improve symptoms and lessen need for surgery. Other research points to exercise improving grip strength. In either case, laser therapy can be beneficial in improving blood flow and improving overall cellular health leading to reduced pain and accelerated healing. The MR4 ACTIV has specific treatment protocols for treating carpal tunnel. Click here for more information on the MR4 ACTIV |
Reducing the Pain of Tennis Elbow
 You can reduce the pain of tennis elbow by putting a cloth on the painful area and pressing ice upon it. You can also use a warm, moist cloth on the area or soak the elbow in warm water. Other treatments that will reduce pain include taking anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen. Acetaminophen can help reduce pain. Laser therapy can do both, relieving pain directly and reducing the inflammation that causes pain. The MR4 ACTIV has specific treatment protocols for treating tennis elbow.

Treat Headaches
Cervicogenic Headaches can be successfully treated with laser therapy
Cervicogenic headaches result from biomechanical issues generally in the subcranial region of the neck (base of the skull) as it articulates with the upper cervical spine. When experiencing this headache, most people grab an aspirin or some other over-the-counter remedy, which may or may not provide temporary help. Addressing the underlying condition though involves joint manipulation, stretching, therapeutic exercise and activities to correct posture. Joint restriction can disturb sensitive structures of the neck. For example, a nerve constriction can cause a headache to radiate throughout the entire craniofacial region.
There are many well understood causes for these headaches--grinding and clenching teeth, bad posture, stress, TMJ/TMDs...
Low level laser therapy provides a non-pharmacological tool to facilitate the physical therapy involved in improving the conditions that ultimately alleviate these headaches. Our upcoming webinar discusses how many cases of CGH are also associated with an upper crossed muscle imbalance syndrome. An accurate diagnosis of CGH will help clinicians provide an appropriate intervention.

October 13, 1-2 PM EST webinar.

October Webinar
October 13: Cervicogenic Headaches: a layered approach to therapy
Cervicogenic headaches (CGH) are associated with cervical dysfunction, creating an often challenging clinical syndrome. Many cases of CGH are also associated with an upper crossed muscle imbalance syndrome. An accurate diagnosis of CGH will help clinicians provide an appropriate intervention. Evidence supports the utilization of modalities, joint mobilization and therapeutic exercise in the management of CGH. After attending this seminar, participants will:
- Learn how to recognize and differentiate cervicogenic headaches (CGH)
- Learn the evidence behind non-pharmacological treatment of CGH
- Learn how to integrate interventions including joint mobilization, Low Level Laser Therapy, and therapeutic exercise.
