Since I found this out I have been doing more research on my history, and I have arthritis in my hips as well. When I was born, my hips were underdeveloped and dislocated. My mom always tells me this story about the doctors telling her to put 3 or so diapers on me to support everything while I was getting more strength in my hips. I went to Shriners hospital when I was 13ish, and one of the doctors there told me that I could need hip replacements by the age of 35.

he said he thinks the low level laser could help and I actually had it right then for 15 minutes. it is a totally noninvasive laser that shines on affected area to rebuild cells.. Since it is alternative rx, there is not a "measurement" ' chart like regular medicines or therapies.

Hi, I am from Central Europe and I returned from two optometrists, who perform laser photocoagulation therapy (conflict of interest maybe?), and both recommended laser photocoagulation therapy. The first one said I have a "ticking bomb", and I need preventive care ASAP, and even told me to cancel my plane trip which is in two weeks, especially underlining that in my condition flying by plane is very dangerous and I could be hospitalized.

With regards to the moles and keloids, do refrain from using products that may be abrasive to the skin. This seems to only further aggravate your condition.

Treatment of Osteoarthritis consists of exercise, manual therapy, lifestyle modification, medication and other interventions to alleviate pain. If these fail then you go for surgery. Joint replacement surgery may be required. Individuals with very painful OA joints may require surgery such as fragment removal, repositioning bones, or fusing bone to increase stability and reduce pain.

Hello. I am a 47-year-old male, and I have autoimmune hypothyroidism. I recently read that something called "low-level laser therapy" or "cold-laser therapy" can be used on a thyroid gland that has been damaged by Hashimoto's. Supposedly, the laser therapy will regenerate the thyroid gland, restore the ability of the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormone, and significantly reduce (or even eliminate entirely) a person's need for Synthroid.

Hi there! I was diagnosed about 6 months ago with osteoarthritis in my L4/5 and was told it was a moderate case by my GP. I've had back pain going back 10yrs, but they just figured it out recently.

He is now morbidly obese and as a consequence greatly suffers even more due to the weight on his joints.

Take a look at www.MultiRadiance.com for more information, studies and applications. LLLT may be an option for you.

The doctor checked my retina and said i have several holes and have a weak retina. He said it is advisible to undergo laser therapy which will stop further damage and floaters. I've heard that there is a lot of debate on this subject. And hence im confused where i should go for the laser therapy. I also have a couple of questions - 1- Do floaters go away eventually? 2- The doctor was sure that after the therapy there will be no more damage. Is this true?
