CASE STUDY
THIS CASE STUDY TAKE YOU THROUGH THE REAL-WORLD APPLICATION OF LIGHTFORCE LASER THERAPY AT HIVE HEALTH CLINIC IN SWANSEA, UNITED KINGDOM.
Q-1= CAN YOU SHARE WITH US THE SPECIFIC CHALLENGES OR CONDITIONS YOU WERE FACING IN YOUR CLINICAL PRACTICE THAT LED YOU TO CONSIDER LIGHTFORCE LASER THERAPY DEVICES? The main driver was in managing acute pain cases (such as acute lower back muscle spasm), as well as extremity cases such as plantar fasciitis. Q-2=HOW DID YOU FIRST LEARN ABOUT LIGHTFORCE LASER THERAPY DEVICES, AND WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO PURCHASE THEM? I’d heard via the British Chiropractic Association, and then had an email. Q-3= WHAT WERE YOUR INITIAL IMPRESSIONS OF THE LIGHTFORCE LASER THERAPY DEVICES WHEN YOU FIRST ENCOUNTERED THEM? Good sleek design, was impressed that it was quick and straightforward to use, and also felt pleasant - didn’t hurt! Q-4=CAN YOU DESCRIBE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE PURCHASING PROCESS? WERE THERE ANY FEATURES OR BENEFITS THAT STOOD OUT TO YOU? The payment process was quicker than we expected, the option to lease (via a different company) was very helpful Q-5= COULD YOU DESCRIBE ANY SPECIFIC PATIENT CASES OR SCENARIOS WHERE YOU HAVE USED LIGHTFORCE LASER THERAPY DEVICES? WHAT WERE THE RESULTS? We use it with the majority of our patients now, all with good results. One patient case that comes to mind is of shoulder pain - he couldn’t raise his arm above less than shoulder height and was on the list for surgery After the second session he had full range of motion in the shoulders and has delayed the surgery. We had another patient with acute knee swelling which had completely resolved after the first session. Q-6= IN WHAT WAYS HAS LIGHTFORCE LASER THERAPY DEVICES IMPACTED YOUR TREATMENT PROTOCOLS AND PATIENT OUTCOMES? It means that we can better cater for the more acute patients, and extremity cases. We use it alongside standard chiropractic/osteopath treatment and find that the outcomes are being achieved a lot faster. Q-7= HOW HAS THE INTEGRATION OF LIGHTFORCE LASER THERAPY DEVICES INTO YOUR PRACTICE AFFECTED YOUR WORKFLOW AND EFFICIENCY? It’s worked well - we’ve adjusted session times in some cases. Q-8= HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY FINANCIAL OR BUSINESS BENEFITS SINCE INCORPORATING LIGHTFORCE LASER THERAPY DEVICES INTO YOUR PRACTICE? It’s generated a lot of new interest either from previously discharged patients or word-of-mouth. Q-9= WHAT FEATURES OR ASPECTS OF LIGHTFORCE LASER THERAPY DEVICES DO YOU FIND MOST BENEFICIAL OR UNIQUE COMPARED TO OTHER SIMILAR PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET? The on-contact head is a valuable addition as it is comfortable for the patient. The fact that it’s comfortable to have done is a huge bonus over e.g. shockwave, and that it is quick is also a benefit over e.g. low level laser. Q-10= HOW WOULD YOU SUMMARISE YOUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE WITH LIGHTFORCE LASER THERAPY DEVICES, AND WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT TO OTHER CLINICIANS/PHYSIOTHERAPISTS? Excellent - 100%
