Welcome to the Laser Light Show
Hey everyone, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells here, your hosts for the Laser Light Show.
On today's episode, we celebrate the milestone of low-level laser therapy surpassing 10,000 research articles, showcasing its importance and growing scientific validation. Join us as we explore the science, technology, and physiology behind what makes these tools so powerful.
The Growth of ResearchWe've been tracking the growth of research articles on low-level laser therapy for some time now. The number of published articles has recently surpassed 10,000, which is a significant testament to the scientific validation of this therapy. There has been an explosion of growth in research around the early 2000s, and the trend continues, with 2024 shaping up to be a big year for new research.
Impact and RelevanceBut what does this mean, and how does it affect practitioners and patients? For those familiar with research, this impressive number may not be surprising. However, we also want to reach out to those who may be new to literature searches for certain conditions or modalities.
How can you make this impactful for your practice and your patients? We want to address the wide gap between expert researchers, healthcare providers, and patients, and help bridge that gap by making valuable information meaningful to everyone.
Navigating PubMedWe also discussed the significance of PubMed as a resource for scientific literature. PubMed is a free database housing a wealth of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics. It is a valuable tool for accessing scientific literature and staying informed about the latest research.
So, whether you are an experienced researcher or new to literature searches, there are valuable insights waiting to be discovered. And remember, with tools like PubMed, we live in an era where abundant resources are available at our fingertips, providing access to a wealth of good information.
Dr. Woolner is a Chiropractor in Meridian Idaho.
