Laser 214

Course overview

Hour 1 *Discuss the etiology, pathophysiology, and symptoms of trauma and post-auto whiplash. *Translate how low-level laser impacts inflammation and trauma. *Explain modern neuron theory and how low-level laser can optimize cellular communication within the PNS/CNS. *Conceptualize how to change the brain and body by using low-level laser and sensory inputs to modify central circuitry. Hour 2 *Discuss the interplay between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. *Explain how changes in autonomic function affect the brain and body following trauma. *Share relevant research about the gut/brain connection. *Give an overview of the neuroinflammatory cascade of trauma and how low-level laser impacts inflammatory processes. Hour 3 *Discuss the anatomy/physiology of the cerebellum and it's integration with the cervical spine. *Outline how changes in cerebellar function and the cervical spine affect the brain and body following trauma *Explain how low-level laser therapy can optimize structural, neurological, and metabolic parameters following trauma. *Create a greater understanding for providers to know how to utilize their skillset to treat complex cases. Hour 4 *Discuss the anatomy and physiology of the visual and vestibular systems. *Identify how changes in the visual and vestibular system affect the brain and body following trauma. *Share mechanisms and treatment applications for utilizing low-level laser therapy. *Create awareness around the modern utilization of structural, neurological, and metabolic treatment paradigms for complex cases.
