October 2013, Norwell MA, Lower-Level Laser Therapy and Its Use in the Clinical Settibg

Physical therapists are experienced in treating a multitude of conditions, most of which involve dealing with inflammation. Inflammation occurs when the body has been damaged in some way, whether through injury or disease. As a result, the body produces a protective response, in the form of inflammation, to remove damaged cells or pathogens. Familiar symptoms of inflammation include redness, swelling, heat, and pain. These symptoms occur as a result of a physiological process in which specific inflammatory cells rush to the site of the injury to aid in protecting the disrupted tissue. Inflammation is necessary for tissue healing, however, in some cases it can become chronic, lasting for several months or even years. In physical therapy, several modalities are used to help expedite the inflammatory process and promote better recovery. Low-level laser therapy, also known as cold laser, is one such modality used for treating both acute and chronic inflammation.

When a tissue is first injured, the body immediately produces an inflammatory response which consists of three major steps. First, blood vessels that supply the injured region dilate, allowing for an increase in blood flow to the damaged tissue. In addition, capillaries become more permeable to allow for proteins and fluids to move more freely between the tissues. This increased blood flow carries white blood cells to the area to aid in protecting the injured area. Again, this process is necessary and beneficial but can also be painful and limiting as the increased blood flow causes redness and the influx of inflammatory cells causes swelling. Swelling is often what causes pain, as it irritates the sensitive nerve endings that carry pain signals to the brain. In some cases, inflammation resolves quickly without much intervention, but in other cases it may last longer and be more functionally limiting, especially when pain level is moderate to severe.

Patients presenting to physical therapy often have some level of pain and functional limitation that has prompted them to seek treatment. In most cases, the patient has tried to manage the symptoms independently but has not been successful. Low-level laser therapy is one of the many modalities a physical therapist can offer to help a patient move away from inflammation and pain to being healthy, well, and back to prior

functional level. Low-level laser therapy uses light to alter cellular function. While the exact mechanism of laser therapy is still unclear, studies have shown that light energy is effective in lowering the levels of inflammatory cells and chemicals, as well as stimulating cellular mitochondria which increases cellular metabolism. In simpler terms, inflammation is eliminated more quickly and on a deeper level, allowing the patient to gain mobility and pain relief faster.

Patients receiving cold laser treatment do not feel any pain during the treatment, and in some cases, notice improvement in symptoms relatively quickly. When combined with manual therapy and therapeutic exercise, laser treatment is very effective in treating a multitude of conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendinitis, lower back injury, and chronic pain. While cold laser therapy is relatively safe, there are some cases in which laser should not be used. Such instances include during the first trimester of pregnancy, over cancerous growths, over growth plates in children, over the thyroid gland, and for patients with epileptic seizures or pacemakers.

Research is constantly being conducted to determine the optimal dosage and frequency of cold laser treatment in physical therapy. At this time, there are therapeutic ranges for dose and frequency that the physical therapist will follow based on the patient’s condition. As previously mentioned, patients find this treatment fast, easy, and painfree. Low-level laser therapy is an effective way to reduce inflammation and pain while decreasing reliance on medication, thus promoting better health and wellness. For patients seeking conservative management of inflammatory conditions, low-level laser therapy is an excellent way to address these injuries, allowing for a safe return to prior level of function.

ArrowFlick: How’s Your Swag with a Bow and Arrow?

In exciting new archery game for iOS and Android, players can hunt big game, earn dozens of achievements

KANSAS CITY, MO-PocketCake has announced the release of ArrowFlick, a one-finger archery game for iOS and Android devices.

ArrowFlick is a highly visceral entertainment in which players fling arrows at standing targets and such animals as deer, rabbits, crocodiles, lions, rhinos and bears. For each round, players are given five arrows and awarded points and special achievements (there are 93 for iOS and 179 for Android) for hits, kill shots, bull’s eyes, headshots, tricks (such as plucking fruit off the stem), even misses. If players stray too much from the mark, they can earn such achievements as stumblebum, klutz or spazoid. Ace their marks, however, and they may be deemed the next Robin Hood.

ArrowFlick includes three game modes (easy, normal, high wind challenge), each with 50 rounds. With each advancing round or game mode, the winds become stronger, the animals’ kill zones smaller and their tendency to get spooked greater. Steadiness is harder and harder to maintain.

Aiding players in their challenge is a musical score that’s heavy on silly sound effects and nature sounds – birds singing, winds moaning, animals shuffling across the landscape. Players can hear the tautness of the string as its pulled back, the twang of the arrow’s release and the thud when it strikes its target. When an animal is killed, it cries with agony. Every headshot to a standing target is accompanied with a bloodcurdling yowl.

ArrowFlick includes three easy rounds and three normal rounds for free. A full version of the game costs $.99.

PocketCake’s first game, LavaCat – which launched on Android in late July and iOS, Facebook and Ouya in late September – has been downloaded nearly 100,000 times. It is the first mobile game allowing players to rewind time.

YouGiveGoods Announces National Animal Shelter Campaign to Celebrate #GivingTuesday

There are about 5,000 Animal Shelters and Rescue organizations in the United States caring for over 5,000,000 cats, dogs and other animals. Most struggle to obtain the resources they need to care, feed and shelter the animals in their care.

To celebrate #GivingTuesday 2013, YouGiveGoods has chosen animals as the cause they are spotlighting as a GivingTuesday partner. The company is organizing a nationwide Animal Shelter Campaign to help provide pet food and other supplies to support the dedicated individuals working for and with the organizations that save, shelter and nurture homeless animals. This is the first national campaign to which people cannot only pick the organization they want to support, but also decide how they want to help by donating the specific items they believe will make the best impact.

“We already have shelter organizations from across the country partnering with us to be part of our campaign and we’re expecting many more to join before it starts on 12/3/13 – this year’s official GivingTuesday date,” according to Marie Maxwell, Animal Shelter Community Manager.

YouGiveGoods operates a website platform that organizations use to raise the goods they need, in this case, pet food, cleaning supplies and other items commonly used in most animal shelters. “Our website is used by individuals and organizations to support a wide variety of causes – hunger, animals, veterans, disaster relief, education and the homeless. Rather than organizing drives to physically collect goods the traditional way, people purchase goods online at our site to donate to online drives and we deliver the goods directly to the charity they want to support once a drive is over,” said Pat O’Neill, CEO of YouGiveGoods. “Organizations like it both because it’s free to use and it’s a very effective way to raise needed goods.”

According to Scott Crawford, Associated Humane Societies, which operates the largest animal shelter system in NJ, “We think YouGiveGoods is great. We’ve used their website services before and raised 8 times the amount of food and supplies we were hoping for. We’re really excited about the GivingTuesday campaign and we’re glad to be a part of it.”

“Most of the animal shelter and rescue organizations have experienced a significant increase in the animals under their care. We think this campaign is a great way to shed more light on this situation so that these organizations can receive more of the resources they need,” said Marie Maxwell, Animal Shelter Community Manager at YouGiveGoods. She continued, “We already have Shelters in California, Florida, New Jersey, Delaware, South Dakota, Maryland and Texas planning to participate.”

#GivingTuesday is a movement to create a national day of giving at the start of the annual Holiday Season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support nonprofit organizations. It was created to foster giving during a time of the year when there is a lot of focus on shopping. Since there are two days focused on shopping in connection with the holidays – Black Friday and Cyber Monday, shouldn’t there be at least one day focused on giving back? Visit GivingTuesday.org for more information.

The YouGiveGoods National Animal Shelter campaign is open to Animal Shelter and Rescue Organizations and for those organizations and individuals who want to support them and the animals under their care. There is no cost to join and to become a campaign partner. For more info on how to get involved, visit YouGiveGoods.com/GivingTuesdayHelpAnimals or contact Marie.Maxwell@YouGiveGoods.com.
