They All Laughed When I Said I Wanted to Be Like Dr. McCoy of StarTrek Someday… But When I Pulled Out a Hand Held Laser that Relieved Pain…
Sure Captain Kirk was the courageous Alpha male and Mr. Spock was, well, so logical and intelligent, but when I was young, it was Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy that caught my interest.
With his dry, sarcastic wit, Dr. McCoy would save the day when a red shirt crew member was injured or sick. In the sick bay or on an unknown planet, he would break out his little toy-like machines that would scan the crew members body. Then he’d take out another space-age tool and wave it around the wound—and they were healed!
First Contact
Fast forward to 2005 and I’m sitting in a seminar and a doctor demonstrates a cold laser. It was the first time I had seen one. I was mesmerized. A handheld device that emitted a laser light that healed patients?! My research began and within a couple of weeks I had it in hand.
After a weekend training session on the how’s and why’s of laser light therapy, I sat in my home late at night with my new McCoy-esque device. I decided to put it to the test. My left ankle has been a source of pain and problems since I broke it racing motocross as a teen.
A turn of the key and the little blue machine lit up. I punched in some codes and pressed start and two red beams shot out of the hand piece! I aimed them at my sore and swollen ankle. Couldn’t feel a thing. Nothing! I kept moving the beam around my ankle. Then looked up more codes and shined the red laser beams on my ankle for a few more minutes. Honestly, I still didn’t feel a thing. The treatment ended. To tell the truth, my stomach was in a knot. I had just paid $13,000 for a red light that did nothing!
But as I stood up to leave the room, I took a step. And do you know what I felt in my ankle as I made a first then second and third step? Nothing! And nothing felt wonderful! Prior to the session my ankle was painful and stiff. It always is after a long day on my feet. But after just one 6-minute session, my ankle was pain-free on walking. Wow, call me Dr. McCoy.
Healing at the Speed of Light Today
Since 2005, I have honed several treatment protocols for cold laser therapy to help my patients. And just like Dr. McCoy I have added other seemingly space-age therapies harnessing light and electrical energy to relieve pain.
Obviously, many conditions can take more than just one session. But compared to other treatments, low light therapies relieve pain and inflammation relatively quickly. Light therapies also have minimal contact. So if you have a swollen and very tender neck, back or other joint, the therapy itself doesn’t hurt. In fact, you don’t feel a thing besides some gentle warmth.
