Why Hasn’t My Doctor Told Me About Cold Laser Therapy?
That’s a good question. I don’t know why YOUR doctor hasn’t shared the benefits of cold laser therapy with you, but I think I know the answer… First, let me just state that our office gets daily referrals from orthopedists, internal medicine doctors, rheumatologists, pain management doctors and primary care physicians.
Most physicians understand that not all patients want, need or respond well to surgery, injections or medications. Physicians refer patients to our office to undergo our Cold Laser Knee Program because it is considered safe, and effective, and it’s definitely worth trying if other treatments have failed, and before any further surgery is recommended or performed.
Now let me get back to answering the question.
There are two obvious reasons why your doctor hasn’t told you about cold laser treatments.
The first and most obvious reason is that they are probably unaware of the technology. Even though there are an increasing number of doctors using cold lasers, and are becoming more educated about the benefits of the treatment there are still many more physicians that do not know about it.
The other reason your doctor may not have told you about the treatment is because they are narrow minded, and they just don’t want to change their method of treatment. These doctors are skeptical about everything except for the techniques they use. It doesn’t matter what overwhelming evidence you provide them they still consider everything other than ‘conventional medicine’ a sham. (Ironically, ‘conventional medicine’, for example, prescription medication and surgery was ranked one of the leading causes of death by the CDC. In my opinion, ‘narrow minded’ physicians are one of the reasons why the U.S. is only ranked 37th in health care by the World Health Organization.) I wonder sometimes if this group of physicians is truly acting on behalf of the patient or only looking out for themselves. After all, if your knee pain significantly improves or is eliminated after completing our Cold Laser Knee Program then why would you go back to the surgeon?
The bottom line is…if you’ve tried medications, injections and/or surgery and those options haven’t helped you than don’t wait for your knee to get worse. . Your quality of life doesn’t have to suffer just because you orthopedic doctor hasn’t referred you for or told you about cold laser treatments.
If you are still suffering from knee pain, and have tried everything don’t feel hopeless! Dr. Schnee may be able to help you. If you have knee pain due to cartilage loss, ‘bone on bone’, or osteoarthritis of the knee and you want to avoid a total knee replacement or you cannot undergo a total knee replacement due to other health problems then Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program may be the answer to your knee problem.

Laser Therapy More Effective Than Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
A research group from Norway, headed by Dr. Jan M. Bjordal, and published in the British Medical Journal summarizes that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), including cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors, reduce short-term pain associated with knee osteoarthritis only slightly better than a placebo.(1)
The findings from a recent Norwegian Health Technology Assessment Report stated that low- laser therapy (cold laser) was actually twice as effective as NSAIDs, if applied correctly with optimal dose and energy. According to the Norwegian Drug Agency, low- laser therapy has earned a top spot in treatment recommendations for patients suffering with osteoarthritis knee pain, due to the unequivocal scientific findings so far, and lasers effectiveness for treating knee pain.
Long term NSAID use is harmful, should be avoided, and is ineffective for osteoarthritis knee pain. If you want relief from arthritis knee pain that is safe, has no side-effects, and is painless then call our office at 214-596-1051 to find out about our Cold Laser Knee Program.
