Current research shows that Low Intensity Laser Therapy is a new way to treat concussion but has received little medical attention. It also has the appeal of being non-toxic, non-invasive and is completely safe
How far have we come since Egyptians drilled holes in the skull in an attempt to cure a variety of diseases? We’ve seen tremendous advances in brain surgery. But relatively little progress in how to treat concussion. Basically, medical advice has been to rest while waiting for the brain to recover. But research now shows Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) can dramatically speed up the healing of bruised brains. So why isn’t it used more by doctors, and for more conditions?
To learn about this therapy I interviewed Dr. Fred Kahn, founder of Meditech International. Last year his Toronto clinic treated over 800 concussion patients, those who have been in a car accident, suffered a fall, or who years ago had a blow to the head. Some had not lost consciousness, so failed to realize they’d suffered a concussion.
