True Stories of Health and Healing from the Files of Dr. Donald Backstrom
True Stories of Health and Healing from the Files of Dr. Donald Backstrom:
How Can Light Work to Produce Healing Powers?
We use low-level lasers for everything from measuring distance to playing a music CD, but did you know that cold lasers can also help our bodies heal? A laser is a focused stream of light that emits photon energy. All of the photons travel at the same wavelength in the same direction when light is focused properly. Our bodies use the same coherent light to communicate on a cellular level.
According to Erchonia, the leader in low level laser technology, the lasers work by emitting “ visable coherent light that is applied to the affected area. Bundles of light energy pass through the normal dermal layers, and are received within the cell membrane by specific energy photo acceptors.
The increase in intra-cellular energy results in altered cell membrane permeability, and physiological changes occur through an enzyme cascade to affect several biological processes. Within the injured musculoskeletal tissue, low-level laser light initiates increased microcirculation and enhanced tissue regeneration. The overall effects are decreased pain and inflammation, and increased range of motion”.
Dr. Donald Backstrom harnesses the positive effects of cold laser technology in the treatment of his patients including a national boxing champion who thought his fighting days were done. Dan has been an athlete his whole life. When he had the chance to fight in the nationally broadcast boxing championships, it was as if his dreams were about to be realized.
All of his training, discipline and hard work had gotten him to this point but an injury to his elbow threatened to destroy it all! Dan tried traditional medicine but it didn’t offer much hope. With the championship a few weeks away, Dan was willing to try anything.
He came to The Backstrom Chiropractic Clinic in Glen Ellyn (just west of Chicago). Dr. Backstrom treated the elbow injury with a cold laser while going through the motions Dan would need to perform in a fight. Dr. Backstrom was able to retrain the elbow. Not only was Dan able to participate in the National Boxing Championships, he won his fight!
