Introducing the AVI HPLL-12

The World’s Most Powerful Therapeutic Laser.

Lasers in Medicine•    TherapeuAc  Lasers  are  used    for  the  sAmulaAon  of  cell  funcAon.    The  biological  effect  is  photochemical  not  thermal  (heat),  as  is  the  case  with  surgical  lasers.  

•    Even  though  the  majority  of  our  paAents  have  failed  everything  that  tradiAonal  insurance-­‐based  medicineoffers,  our  success  rate  approches  80-­‐90%.

•In  (7)  years  of  operaAon,  there  has  never  been  a  reported  side  effect.

Biological Effects of Therapeutic Lasers

•    Laser  therapy  aims  to  bio-­‐sAmulate  injured  and  dysfuncAonal  Assues.  It  works  at  the  cellular  level  to  accelerate  the  bodies  natural  ability  to  heal.  

•    The  laser  beam  will  sAmulate  healing  of  any  Assue  it  comes  in  contact  with.

•    With  over  3,000  studies  done,  the  following  are  the  beneficial  effects  of  light  therapy  on  Assues  and  cells.

Summary of LT Biological Effects•  Accelerated  Tissue  Repair  and  Cell  Growth•  Faster  wound  Healing•  Reduced  Fibrous(Scar)  Tissue  FormaAon

•  AnA-­‐Inflammatory  effect

•  Analgesic  effect  (pain  relief)•  Improved  Vascular  AcAvity/  lymphaAc  drainage

•  Increased  Metabolic  AcAvity

•  Improved  Nerve  FuncAon

AFFECTS

Clinical Translation “How HPLT Affects Your Back Pain”

•  Decreased  inflammaAon  of  the  spine  and  nerve  roots  and  all  pain  receptors

•  Increased  microcirculaAon  of  structures  leading  to  reducAon  of  swelling  around  joints  and  other  structures  

•  Accelerated  healing  of  bone,  carAlage,  tendon,  ligaments,  muscle,  and  skin

•  Decreased  formaAon  of  scar  Assue

•  Decreased  or  even  eliminated  need  for  invasive      procedures

Affect of HPLT on Neuropathy “Pain”• SAmulates  blood  flow  and  new  capillary  formaAon  thus  

brings  new  and  befer  circulaAon  into  the  affected  Assues.

• Relieves  inflammaAon    around  the  damaged  nerves.

• Provides  an  analgesic  effect  to  area.

• SAmulates  repair  of  damaged  nerves.

• Heals  open  wounds  –  diabeAc  ulcers.

Why is HPLT so Effective?

• Ability  to  deliver  large  amounts  of  therapeuAc  laser.

• Ability  to  penetrate  deeper  than  any  other  modality.

• Ability  to  treat  a  large  surface  area.  This  is  very  important  with  neuropathy,  back,  and  leg  pain  as  these  condiAons  are  usually  widespread.

• The  Avicenna  laser  is  the  most  powerful  and  advanced  therapeuAc  laser  in  the  world!

• It  is  also  the  safest!

Goal of Pain Management Using High Power Laser Therapy

•    Relieve  Pain  and  Reduce  InflammaAon

•    Promote  Tissue  Healing

•    Restore  AcAve  Range  of  paAents  moAon  and  balance                capabiliAes

•    Do  so  without  Side  Effects

Some of the Many Applications of High Power Laser Therapy

•    Back  Pain,  Spinal  Stenosis,  Scia,ca  

•    Neuropathy  of  all  causes  (Carpal  Tunnel  Syndrome,  Trigeminal  Neuralgia,  Tarsal  Tunnel  Syndrome              •    Accelerated  Post-­‐Surgical  healing  (joint  replacements)

•    Arthri,s  (Degenera,ve  Joint  Disease)

•    Foot  and  Heel  Pain

•    Muscle,  Ligament  and  Tendon  Injuries

•    Ulcera,ons  and  Open  Wounds

Creating a Positive Environment for Tissue Healing

• In  order  to  get  long  term,  if  not  permanent  results  for  

condiAons  of  the  back,  hip,  knee,  and  feet,  we  must  

address  and  correct  the  biomechanical  issues  of  the  

paAent.  This  will  be  part  of  your  physical  exam.  

With  only  17%  of  the  popula,on  presen,ng  with  normal  gait,  these  condi,ons  are  prevalent  in  the  general  popula,on.

The Effects of a Common Gait Abnormality (Over-Pronation)

• Achilles  TendoniAs

• Plantar  FasciiAs

• Tarsal  Tunnel  Syndrome

• Bunions,  Neuroma

• Patella  Femoral  Syndrome

• ITB  Syndrome

• Low  Back  Pain  and  Hip  Pain  …to  name  a  few.  

• By  fixing  this  condiAon  as  well  as  other  gait  issues    we  can  realign  your  joints  and  spine  and  create  the  “opAmal  environment”  for  the  laser  to  heal  your  injury  and  provide  long  term,  if  not  permanent  relief.
