6 Treatment Protocols Introduction This section contains individual protocols for a wide variety of conditions. These are the result of scientific and clinical testing/validation. Please keep in mind that Individual reaction to treatment will vary between patients. Therefore it may be necessary to modify treatment programs and parameters. These guidelines should be used as a reference and a starting point. As your clinical experience and confidence grows with the use of this device, you will become more adept in the application of frequency and time selection. General medical conditions or anatomical references are given in this manual along with a list of treatable conditions. Each condition contains zones or primary target areas to be treated, including the frequencies used for treatment and the duration of the treatments themselves. The course of treatment, number of treatments to be done per course and the number of courses to be done per year are indicated. The figures below will be seen typically in the protocols listed in this manual. They mean the following: A Zone Indication means the MR4 laser emitter should be applied to the indicated zone alone, without movement, in a similar fashion to ultrasound treatment. The Local Scanning indication means the emitter should be moved in the direction indicated by the arrow. "Systemic Scanning" can be performed over a larger area as indicated by the direction of the arrows. Zone Indication Local Scanning Systemic Scanning 4
