INTERVIEW: Dr. Robert Wolfe and EAAs

Jason Rountree, DC, RMSK, CMLSO — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 12:58:41 -0600

Dr. Rountree is joined today by former Harvard professor and world-renowned clinical researcher Dr. Robert Wolfe to discuss nutritional adjuncts to healing and pain relief.

Dr. Wolfe's studies have been conducted with support from competitive research grants from the National Institutes of Health, National Space Biomedical Institute, US Department of Defense, The US Department of Agriculture, as well as the US Olympic Committee, and the International Olympic Committee.

Amino Co’s research, first funded by NASA, was developed by Dr. Robert R Wolfe, director of the Center of Translational Research in Aging and Longevity at the Reynolds Institute on Aging, and Professor of Geriatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

Fun Fact: Co-founder Dr. Robert Wolfe was a competitive marathon runner who set national age-group records. Distance running: completed 62 marathons under 2:30; set age group world record in 30 K (45-49y), won over 100 local road races. Still running and fueling his body with amino acids at age 75.

STUDY: What's up with 1064nm?

Jason Rountree, DC, RMSK, CMLSO — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 02:00:00 -0700

What's going on with this "new" laser wavelength of 1064nm? Find out how this wavelength compares to more traditional PBM wavelengths like 830nm, as well as the reasons to use 1064nm in this research review!

"There are a few reasons for utilizing a 1064 nm laser. First, the absorption of water at 1064 nm is relatively weak, lower than that at 950-1000 nm and comparable to that at 900 nm (see the following figure). Second, light at this wavelength can penetrate deeper in tissue than other wavelengths shorter than 1000 nm used for LLLT because of lower light scattering. For example, 1064 nm light penetrates the human hand better than 660 nm or 980 nm, and comparable to 830 nm [data of Karl H. Norris, from The Science of Photobiology (KC Smith, ed., Plenum Press, 1977; p. 400)]. Since our future application of LLLT targets on transcranial laser stimulation or photobiomodulation, it is definitely beneficial if the light can penetrate deeper in tissue. Third, the wavelength 1064 nm is still at the upper absorption band of the redox state of CCO 1 meaning that a 1064 nm laser will be absorbed to stimulate the reduction-oxidation reaction of CCO, as we needed for this study. Fourth, this project wished to examine whether the 1064-nm laser was able to stimulate or generate a reasonable amount of changes in HbO and CCO concentrations, even using a non-optimal laser wavelength. For future studies, given the absorption spectra of water and redox state of CCO, it might be optimal to use a laser near the absorption peak of CCO (e.g., at ~830 nm) where water absorption is also lower than that at 1064 nm."

Join Dr. Rountree and Kristi as they discuss several studies on laser therapy and how it should be used effectively as part of a patient lymphedema care plan. Lymphatic damage can be caused by many factors, but one of the most common is cancer, particularly breast cancer. Post cancer, lymphedema can cause patients to experience painful extremity swelling which affects their quality of life and can often lead to depression. It is a chronic condition that is difficult to manage with conventional treatments. Laser therapy is a fantastic tool for relieving lymphedema, but only if used properly.

REVIEW: Inflammatory Arthritis and Light Therapy

Jason Rountree, DC, RMSK, CMLSO — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 02:00:00 -0700

Today Dr. Rountree and Kristi discuss a 2020 study on laser therapy and its mechanisms of “undoing” inflammatory arthritis and juvenile arthritis. Inflammatory arthritis is just one form of arthritis and it stems from an overabundance of cellular inflammatory signals without proper counterbalance of signaling. Cytokine signaling and T-cell function skew toward inflammation and tissue destruction rather than repair and healing. Laser therapy is an excellent tool for arthritis as it provides cells with photons for energy, stimulating the cellular mechanisms for repair and rejuvenation and reducing the inflammatory over-reaction.

STUDIES: Prevent and Manage Chronic Low Back Pain Successfully

Jason Rountree, DC, RMSK, CMLSO — Mon, 25 Oct 2021 02:00:00 -0600

Nearly everyone will experience lower back pain at some point. Proper management of acute episodes can prevent the onset of chronic pain. Proper management means following the guidelines, yet the research says practitioners in the US often use standalone steroids, surgical referrals, and opioid medications in non-concordant care. What are the guidelines? Are you compliant?

If your patients are already dealing with chronic pain, how can you manage their cases successfully? When non-drug therapies like laser therapy are provided, patients will be at much lower risk of alcohol and substance abuse, less suicidal ideation and attempts, and improved quality of life.

This episode directly follows-up episode 31 on opioid addiction and light therapy. The study being reviewed today was done by the same group of researchers and was published in August of 2021. Medication management of opioid use disorders tends to have problems like relapse and dropout, but photobiomodulation used on only one hemisphere of the brain, with or without buprenorphine, was found to be superior to sham in reducing opioid cravings. Listen to find out how they conducted this study and the factors they took into account.

STUDY: Rotator Cuff Tears in Stroke Patients

Jason Rountree, DC, RMSK, CMLSO — Mon, 04 Oct 2021 02:00:00 -0600

A 2021 study takes a look at rotator cuff tears of post-stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain. Surprisingly, this shoulder pain issue can occur in 16-84% of post-stroke patients. For many rotator cuff patients, surgery or conservative care may yield good results.

In this episode, Dr. Rountree reviews the study methods, evaluation process, and how laser therapy was used to improve pain and tendon tear size. Is your exercise care plan enough? Or can you improve patient recovery with laser therapy?

The researchers provide a look at the need to view deep tissue targeted laser therapy in tissue volume, rather than surface area. Dr. Rountree goes over the additional recommendations for proper spot size, energy dosing, and laser handpieces to achieve optimal tissue healing, whether the target is superficial or deep.

This is Part 2 of a two-part LTI provider discussion, where we look at the latest research and commentaries on laser therapy for low back pain. The discussion is expanded to include discussion on medical research and what it can or cannot tell us about medicine in general. Why does the medical field demand more and more extensive research for a clearly safe intervention like laser therapy while commonly performing irreversible surgeries with almost no evidence for efficacy? Are there medical practices and procedures that happen every day, without the proper research to back them?
