Well I agree that Dr.Kahn is selling the lasers and than using them to treat patiesnts, but the man is 85 years old, hasn't taken a day off sick for the past 50 years. He developed the system because no one else was doing it and obviously he is selling it to other hospitals.

If you read the book, this excerpt on this therapy is pretty fascinating, yes it is anecdotal evidence, but my god if it can work on me I would like to give it a try. Also, its not too expensive to see Dr. Khan $75 for the initial appointment, and then $75 for a treatment, depending on how many you will need. Pretty cheap, considering this doctor is mentioned in Dodge's books, is an ex surgeon who has performed thousands of surgeries and has now for some reason gone into lasers. There has to be something to it.

I suggest you check locally to see if there is a clinic that offers it. As I said, my PT has used it for over 10 years. Some of the local chiros do it and even advertise it on TV. The systems are sold by infomercials on TV for $600.

Using it for upper cervical injuries sounds great. The use for neurological injury is interesting but I don't think it is approved for such use yet. As I mentioned, the study mentioned earlier this year showed great promise for neuro issues using near infrared wave lengths.

Maybe someone can post a link to the previous thread about LED light therapy for neuro issues.

From what I read, the modality only works if the right lasers are used for the right amount of time. Doidge's book mentions chiros using lasers and how they use them for a few minutes as an after thought , my neuro chiro was doing this and i called out bs on it.

The idea is to use them for extending periods of time for weeks to months on end. As we all know now, anything for PCS requires lots of time and lots of dedication. I think this can have helpful benefits if prescribed by an expert aka: Dr. Khan the man who started the field then just any old Chiro.

The chiros who use them here set up an extended treatment plan. Dr Kahn and Dr Droige do not have a corner on the technology. I would expect Dr Kahn to publish his guidelines for those who buy his equipment so local clinics who use it or similar equipment likely understand the specifics.

Personally, I was not impressed by his web site because it said he had all the cures with all of his patient testimonials and anecdotal claims but did not explain much about his protocols. He also has adapted others protocols into his practice. Medical science advances by others learning a technique and fine tuning it for better results.

Nobody is suggesting that a single treatment produces a benefit. Most neurotherapies take weeks and months of routine treatments to see a benefit. The brain does not have a mechanism for fast healing. It takes diligence to obtain improvements.
