Laser 212

Course overview

Breakdown the implications of inflammation on epigenetics and relate inflammation to genetic damage and musculoskeletal disease. Develop a plan for clinical anti-inflammatory protocols Interpret blood chemistry markers related to inflammation, and translate into laymens terms for patient understanding. Devise office strategies for obtaining blood chemistry markers, delivering the report of findings to the patient Discuss the physiological mechanisms of the gut-brain axis, distinguish the molecular players in gut-brain axis syndromes, and identify behavioral modifications and nutritional therapies Demonstrate knowledge of calcium ions as an egregious free radicals Identify blood chemistry markers Differentiate between different classes of lasers, Class I, II, IIIA, IIIB, and IV lasers, and outline the therapeutic effects of each Explain the difference between nIR and fIR saunas, and identify key physiological mechanisms Discuss Low Level Laser Therapy wavelengths as they pertain to various upregulation of metabolic functions, and integrate into the health of the body. Differentiate between Class 1, Class 2, Class 3R, Class 3B, and Class 4 lasers, and determine proper clinical application of each laser Develop plans to calculate Joules of output for various lasers using physics, and demonstrate fundamental understanding of laser frequency output to address various clinical cases.
