For those who are interested in research and low level laser therapy, then go to Thor.com to review the research. To those who have not read the research, you have no business making uneducated statements about laser therapy.

Well,PuddlesMcNiggley, I do not use a so called pen light...I have 810nm/1watt laser . Clavicle fractures take 9-12 weeks to heal and that is in the medical literature. so I will state again that 3 weeks is beyond normal healing rate. I also have closed an open wound on a patients stomach that had been open for 2 years and facing a 3rd surgery. You can call Good Samaritan Hospital , Portland Oregon and talk to the wound nurse, Susan Wilson for confirmation if you like.

@chase9047 Not really. I had the same healing rate with a sling. No "cold laser" (read: pen light). A sling. That was it. Break, callus, heal, pretty quickly. Wonder how actual quantified testing information pans out, standard treatment versus red pen lights flashing onto someone's skin for about 30 seconds? Hmmm...I have my dollar down...guess which side any SANE person would bet on? Be the pen light time is more than a buck per billing, eh?

I have been using cold laser in my practice for 3 years now and I have never seen anything that accelerates healing like LLLT does. I have used it for fractures, wound healing, muscle spams, inflammation, sinusitis and pain. My patient love it!! I have before and after x-rays of a left clavicle fracture showing callus formation around the fracture site in 3 weeks, and patient had no pain and full ROM of left arm. These results in 3 weeks post fracture is incredible.

gonsteadlover,
Excuse me, but I went to school with Dr. Minor's. He is an excellent physician. Get your head out of you gonstead bible and learn differential diagnosis and become a multiskilled doctor yourself.

You should either learn how to give a specific chiropractic adjustment, learn what chiropractic really is, instead of all this cold laser therapy bunk. You became a chiropractor for that? Medical or physical therapy school would've been a better option. Learn to live with passion for chiropractic, and you'll be successful without that stuff
