24.01.2022 At Laser Pain Therapy Australia, we go to the source of your pain and dysfunction and help you understand your problem and how Low Level Laser Therapy will help you.

24.01.2022 FURTHER EVIDENCE AGAINST MANY ORTHOPAEDIC SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS A leading Sydney surgeon earlier this month has confessed to performing surgery that doesnt work due to patient pressure and widespread adoption of procedures that have become accepted without enough scrutiny. Orthopaedic surgeon Ian Harris who works at Liverpool, St George and Sutherland Hospitals and the University of NSW, said he had performed surgery that doesnt work but says he now performs much less ...Continue reading

24.01.2022 An interesting article on MNT: "Nanoparticle injections may be future of osteoarthritis treatment" on http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/313261.php This is certainly an exciting step in unravelling the puzzle of chronic inflammation. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or Photobiomodulation therapy utilising low powers of red and infrared light wave lengths is an established but under-recognised and under-utilized extremely effective therapy to reduce the noxious effects of... both chronic and acute inflammation. While we await trials of the nanoparticles mentioned in this article, a very exciting way forward in the management of inflammation, the scientifically proven and evidence-based therapy using LLLT provides excellent pain relief and restoration of function in affected joints. Together, nanoparticle technology and LLLT, may go a long way in reducing chronic pain and suffering. See more

22.01.2022 Cortisone Injections are in the news again - cortisone flare and the pain these injections can cause. Read my published post on why LLLT is superior to steroid injections and other alternatives for addressing musculoskeletal pain http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319168.php#post

21.01.2022 CORTISONE INJECTIONS for e.g ACHILLES. Cortisone injections for injured joints, bursitis or osteoarthritis pose a significant RISK of accelerating tissue damage. Cortisone injections are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs sometimes used for short-term pain relief but without the benefit of driving tissue healing. Relief can range from being ineffective, to lasting a few days to a few months, only for the unresolved underlying problem to rear its head again. With single or repet...itive use, cortisone can cause damaged ligaments, tendons, and cartilage to further weaken. With the ACHILLES TENDON, as an example, which needs to flex and retract whenever we walk, any weakening can cause the structure to rupture, sometimes completely. A serious injury that often requires surgery and lengthy rehabilitation. Low Level Laser Therapy is an effective, painless, non-invasive treatment option for non-ruptured Achilles injury. LLLT removes inflammatory obstacles to healing and stimulates the bodys own immune processes to promoting tissue recovery.

19.01.2022 LOW BACK PAIN - your CORE isn’t weak, it’s actually INJURED. Injury underlies chronic back pain. Read how our treatment at https://laserpaintherapy.com.au/lower_back_treat/ can help REPAIR and THEN strengthen your core. Weak muscles don’t hurt, injured ones do. Chronic back pain which doesn’t respond to core strengthening is due to the tissues being in disrepair. Even strong, lean, fit individuals suffer low back pain due to disruption and micro-trauma of the core, with or wi...thout disc bulges which are common findings in non-symptomatic people. In the same way fractured bones need a period of rest to repair and start the healing process, the injury underlying low back pain is no different. Our protocol which includes proven Low Level Laser Therapy and rehab, painlessly and safely assists the body’s immune mechanisms to restore healing in chronically injured tissues in the back, liberating the sufferer from chronic pain and returning them to the independence, leisure and service.

12.01.2022 KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS AND LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY https://laserpaintherapy.com.au/ Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) reduces knee osteoarthritis (KOA) pain and disability a just published STUDY has found. https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/10/e031142. Randomised controlled trials (RCT) are the most reliable prospective studies that measure the effectiveness of an intervention or treatment. The highly respected journal, the BMJ has just published a systematic review and meta-analysi...s of 22 RCTs involving over 1000 participants with KOA which found pain as well as disability were significantly reduced by LLLT compared with placebo. The authors note no adverse events were reported,,,..indicating that LLLT is harmless. This is a result we have consistently observed at Laser Pain Therapy in patients we treat with mild to moderate KOA. LLLT safely reduces swelling and soft tissue inflammation created by worn or degenerative cartilage and meniscus tears, a significant cause of KOA pain. Such joints become weak and weakness contributes to the pain. By alleviating inflammation and promoting tissue repair, pain is reduced and the joint can then be rehabilitated and strength training can commence. This restores function and protects against further joint damage. To find out more visit https://laserpaintherapy.com.au/ or call us in Melbourne on 03 85292225. See more

10.01.2022 DR SHIKHA PARMAR PODIUM PRESENTATION AT THE 12TH CONGRESS OF THE WORLD ASSOCIATION FOR LASER THERAPY After a successful and well received presentation at the 2018 annual North American Association for Laser Therapy conference, I realised there is an ongoing a desire and demand for knowledge sharing on how to translate years of research and evidence about the physiological mechanisms of Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy into meaningful clinical outcomes, to actually benefit pat...ients in chronic pain. The biannual international PBM conference run by the World Association for Laser Therapy seemed an ideal platform to carry this message further. https://walt.no/ I am delighted to be leading the session: Users Group - Setting up Successful PBM Clinical Practice over a 75 minute session. The 12th Congress of the Word Association for Laser Therapy is being held October 3rd to 5th in Nice, France, on the spectacular French Riviera. I will be joined by Dr Terry Baker, NAALT President, https://www.naalt.org/, and established and accomplished PBM clinician. This interactive session will highlight the application of PBM and our integrated treatment approach which rapidly and effectively transitions patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain towards lasting remission. I discuss the challenges we face day-to-day in breaking the traditional paradigm of the usual approaches to MSK injury and inflammation that havent served the patients who turn to us. And also the challenges that continue to face our industry, despite over 4 decades of science and evidence from the most trusted and prestigious global hospitals and academic institutions. I present this on the back 7 years of clinical experience, having treated literally thousands of patients. We have successfully utilised PBM therapy as the hero or central component of a holistic management plan, to free patients from chronic pain and dysfunction, returning them to normal life, health and fitness.

09.01.2022 SURGERY FOR BACK PAIN THINK TWICE As discussed on the 7.30 Report, ABC TV 27-5-2020, surgery does not offer a panacea for chronic back pain, one of the most common and debilitating complaints facing Australians. The causes of low back pain are multifactorial and the fact is surgery often fails to relieve it and is rarely necessary. Spinal surgery does not deliver in the same way hip and knee replacement surgeries do. Much low back pain and related sciatica is underpinned by... inflammation, muscle spasm and injury of the soft tissue support structures of the spine, and not bulging discs which are a common finding in asymptomatic over 40-year-olds. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) safely and painlessly addresses the underlying cause of chronic back pain by clearing inflammation, improving blood flow, relieving muscle spasm, and promoting tissue repair. Your pain starts to reduce. Only then can the rehab begin, to recondition, strengthen and future-proof your back. You CAN overcome back pain without medication, invasive interventions such as injections and surgery, and when other measures have failed.

09.01.2022 KNEE PAIN. Did You Know knee arthroscopy is rarely indicated for chronic knee pain, osteoarthritis, meniscal tears and other injuries in over 40 year-olds? Trial after trial and best evidence has found knee arthroscopy to be ineffective for osteoarthritis and degenerative meniscal tears, and some surgeons refuse to do it. The Australian Orthopaedic Association advises against arthroscopic debridement and/or lavage for osteoarthritis because the risks outweigh benefits. ht...tps://laserpaintherapy.com.au//further-evidence-against/ and here: https://laserpaintherapy.com.au//knee-surgery-for-osteoar/ LLLT is non-invasive, completely safe and carries no risk, while being highly effective in reducing pain and inflammation, thereby assisting the sufferer to successfully rehabilitate the affected knee.

08.01.2022 Dr Shikha Parmar Podium Presentation @ the annual North American Association for photobiomoduLation Therapy, NAALT, conference, in Detroit (a welcome venue giving us a chance to celebrate the Motown sound, wonderful music and culture the US brought to the world!). As a now mature practitioner of Photobiomodulation Therapy at the centre of a holistic approach in the management of chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions (7th dedicated year), I am delighted to have been invit...ed to speak on the podium at the annual North American Association for photobiomoduLation Therapy, NAALT, conference. NAALT 2018 Photobiomodulation Drug Free Management of Pain. The annual NAALT Conference is the premier North American gathering of basic science researchers and clinicians dedicated to advancing the science and state of the art of photobiomodulation therapy. It is being held in Detroit this year, August 17th to 19th. What prompted me to become involved was the desire to share my experience of how I have applied PBMT in the clinical setting to achieve a successful clinical and business model, breaking into the mainstream. I will be discussing what the challenges have been in bringing this treatment to the mainstream. I discuss how I have negotiated and navigated numerous obstacles and barriers to promote this treatment to achieve acceptance from patients, colleagues, health- care providers and the wider public. This in an environment of competing yet failing drug, surgical and manual therapies which do not address the essence of what underlies chronic musculoskeletal pain an unresolved, dystopian inflammatory response. I discuss a clinical model that has maintained a track record of success and acceptability by patients and health providers alike in delivering positive outcomes that persist; how our system helps patients in chronic pain on their road to recovery, well beyond just pain management, to achieve freedom from drugs and poor health and return to meaningful service, leisure and normal life

06.01.2022 Here is our next post in our Did You Know? Series: Shoulder Pain. Did you know that increasing numbers of people develop shoulder tears with advancing age and 50% of people over 70 years of age have rotator cuff tears? They could therefore be considered part of the ageing process. Shoulder problems are amongst the more common conditions we treat. Findings of tendon tears on scans, especially of the supraspinatus tendon, are common in non-symptomatic people and don't necessarily correlate with the pain patients present with. Instead we focus on treating and managing inflammation from injury causing shoulder joint pain and dysfunction and re-setting the immune systems own healing.

05.01.2022 2018 NAALT Conference: Photobiomodulation Drug Free Management of Pain The meeting of the North America Photobiomodulation (PBM) community consisting of members from USA, Canada and Mexico as well as including speakers from around the world, was very informative and enjoyable. With its focus as a cutting edge clinical conference focusing on the treatment of pain and the acceleration of tissue healing, it certainly met the brief. It show-cased the latest research in this a...rea with expert commentary and a formidable Australian representation. It was a privilege to address the delegates discussing how Laser Pain Therapy has brought this valuable treatment modality to the mainstream in Victoria and how our integrated approach helps patients achieve remission from chronic, previously unresolved musculoskeletal problems. The latest challenge and focus for the PBM community is bringing this treatment for chronic pain to the attention of the mainstream and thereby directly addressing the opioid crisis. At LPT we are certainly confronting this head-on with our successful treatment of our patients and how we achieve this was the subject of Dr Shikha Parmars podium presentation. Here she is pictured with a small group of the attendees, and key note speakers A/Professor Michael Hamblin, of Harvard and Professor Chukuka Enwemeka. A/Prof Hamblin directs a laboratory of a dozen scientists who work in photodynamic therapy and photobiomodulation. He has published 356 peer-reviewed articles. Prof. Enmeweka is Provost and Sr. Vice President for academic affairs, San Diego State University, one of the foremost authorities in the use of lasers and monochromatic light for therapeutic purposes.

03.01.2022 STOP ICING YOUR CHRONIC INJURIES! Dr Gabe Mirkin: https://www.drmirkin.com/fitne/why-ice-delays-recovery.html who coined the term RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) in his best-selling Sportsmedicine Book in 1978, concedes it now it appears that both Ice and complete Rest may delay healing, instead of helping. This has been picked up by media outlets this past week. See Putting ice on injuries could be doing more damage than good in The AGE (& SMH) and in the Was...hington Post. Aside from a few minutes of ice to avert bleeding into an acute injury, icing injured tissues beyond the first day impedes the bodys natural healing response. At our clinic we discourage the use of ice, which can be uncomfortable, on injured tendon and ligament tissue which is already devoid of oxygen and blood flow. Low Level Laser/Photobiomodulation therapy improves circulation, delivery of O2 and nutrients and also removal of waste products e.g lactic acid, enhancing the bodys own immune systems healing.

02.01.2022 Presenter at WALT 2018 World Association for photobiomoduLation Therapy, October 3-6, 2018 Venue: Nice, France A little delayed but here is a Summary of Dr Parmars attendance and presentation Dr Shikha Parmar, our director, was selected to present at the 12th biannual International Congress for WALTthe worlds foremost convention for Photobiomodulation (Low Level Light Therapy). Dr Parmar chaired and presented the 90-minute long workshop with the brief: Users Group -Sett...ing up Successful PBM Clinical Practice, with the help of Dr Terry Baker, physician from Baltimore, Maryland, and current president of The North American Association for photobiomoduLation Therapy, NAALT. The topic was: Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) in the Clinical Setting a Model for Success - a qualitative discussion on real world application of PBMT. This comprehensive workshop was presented to doctors, physios, researchers, instrument manufacturers, and other interested parties wanting to gain practical knowledge on the successful clinical application of PBMT in the real world on real patients. This falls into the realm of TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE - translating decades of research from labs and clinical trials into a treatment program which results in meaningful clinical outcomes. Laser Pain Therapy Australia is a musculoskeletal clinic providing PBMT as the primary treatment at the centre of a holistic and comprehensive approach to assist recovery from chronic pain with the aim of restoring function and strength. 100 or more patient consultations are conducted every week. Dr Parmar presented her experience of delivering our unique and valuable treatment successfully, in an environment of competing yet failing drug, surgical and manual therapies, to help patients on their road to recovery, well beyond just pain management, to achieve freedom from drugs and poor health and return to meaningful service, leisure and normal life. With her depth of experience of literally thousands of patient encounters, Dr Parmar discussed what the challenges have been and how they have been negotiated. She qualitatively presented a clinical model that has maintained a track record of success and acceptability by patients and health providers alike in delivering positive outcomes that persist.

02.01.2022 "PAIN-KILLERS".....REALLY? The bad news for back pain sufferers is that analgesics (pain-killers) just dont work. This is the latest finding from an Australian... team who looked at the effectiveness of currently prescribed medicines for treating this common problem. Their study, which examined 35 trials involving more than 6000 people, found that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Nurofen) are no better than a placebo, and perhaps do more harm than good. Previous research has already demonstrated that paracetamol is ineffective and opioids are not much better, say the researchers from The George Institute in Sydney. The findings are likely to impact on current clinical guidelines that continue to recommend paracetamol as a first-line analgesic, after NSAIDs, followed by opioids. They also highlight the need for new therapies that actually work for back pain. At LASER PAIN THERAPY AUSTRALIA, we recognise that inflammation is a very important cause of chronic musculo-skeletal pain, including back pain. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is one such therapy that assists the bodys immune system to break-down unhelpful inflammation, which in turn switches on the healing response and resolves the cause of the pain. By addressing the CAUSE of the pain, this healing results in pain being eliminated. Our results show that anti-inflammatory drugs actually only provide very limited short term pain relief, says lead author, Associate Professor Manuela Ferreira. They do reduce the level of pain, but only very slightly, and arguably are not of any clinical significance. Dr Ferreira says that patients taking NSAIDs were 2.5 times more likely to suffer from gastrointestinal problems, although she says these results should be interpreted with caution given the short duration of exposure to NSAIDs in included trials. NSAIDs do not provide a clinically important effect on spinal pain, and six patients must be treated with NSAIDs for one patient to achieve a clinically important benefit in the short-term, the researchers write in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases. When this result is taken together with those from recent reviews on paracetamol and opioids, it is now clear that the three most widely used, and guideline-recommended medicines for spinal pain do not provide clinically important effects over placebo. Researchers suggest a stronger focus on prevention. This still leaves sufferers of ongoing pain left in the lurch. LLLT IS AN UNDER-RECOGNISED YET CLINICALLY PROVEN, LONG-ESTABLISHED AND SCIENTIFICALLY BACKED TREATMENT RESOLUTION FOR CHRONIC MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN AND INJURY. LLLT is safe, risk-free and painless. It is highly effective and as opposed to pain-masking achieves actual tissue healing and reduction of inflammation.
