It has been successfully used around the world for over 30 years, with no reported long-term side effects. LLLT is the application of red and near infra-red light over injuries or lesions to improve soft tissue healing and give relief for pain. LLLT, also called Cold Laser, is different from hot lasers, commonly used in surgery. The effects of LLLT are biochemical and not thermal; it cannot cause heating and thereby damage to living tissue. When the laser contacts the skin, the patient experiences no warmth or burning sensation as a result of the laser. Most people feel nothing at all while a few may feel a slight tingling during the treatment. LLLT is used to increase the speed and quality of tissue repair, improve function of damaged tissue, relieve the pain and resolve inflammation. In other words, it stimulates and energizes the cells. It is an excellent alternative to needles for acupuncture. The LLLT produces a beam of light with a specific wavelength and frequency, which applied over the injured area to stimulate healing. When the light penetrates the injured tissue, the electromagnetic energy of the light is converted to chemical energy within each cell; it leads to chemical reaction in the cell, which results in acute and chronic pain relief, reduction of swelling and inflammation, stimulation of nerve function, increase of tissue strength, stimulation of tissue healing, increased mobility or range of motion. LLLT is used for soft tissue injuries, joint conditions, most myofascial related chronic and acute pain. The following are conditions successfully treated with Low Level Laser: Whiplash Injuries, Headaches, Fibromyalgia, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain, Knee Pain, Joint Pain in knees, hands, ankles, and hips, Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Rotator Cuff Injury, Bursitis, Tennis Elbow and Golfer's elbow, Plantar Fasciitis, Tendonitis, TMJ, Neuropathic Pain, Facet Syndrome, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Muscle Sprain/Strain, Myofascial Pain Syndromes, and other Musculoskeletal Injuries.

LOSS OF HEARING DUE TO NON-AGING FACTORS Hearing loss due to aging can be compounded by other things. A few of these include noise exposure, disease, and ear infections. Hearing loss due to age and noise are cumulative. That is, hearing loss from noise exposure will be added on to hearing loss due to aging. Neither are not medically correctable. There is something to be said for protecting the hearing that we have left by wearing hearing protectors when exposed to noisy environments. Each of us reacts differently to hearing loss. We may totally or partially deny that a problem exists. Typical "denial" statements are "you're mumbling again", or "I was not paying attention", and can be a way of concealing hearing difficulties.

Q:Mytohusband suffered a stroke recently and now has aphasia. What can I A: Following a stroke some people have difficulty understanding what others are saying or have difficulty speaking. This is called Aphasia (AA-FAYZIA). There are many things that you can do to assist your husband to communicate to the best of his ability. Depending upon his specific difficulties a Speech-Language Pathologist can help you develop a personalized program that will help both of you. The following is another option that is available to you. The Halton Aphasia Centre has two programs operating. On Mondays the group meets at the Glen Williams Town Hall and Tuesday a Burlington group meet at The Wellness House in Burlington. People with aphasia, due to stroke or head injury, have limited means of communication and this program provides supportive opportunities for the exchange of information, opinions and feelings. It is offered once per week at the above mentioned locations from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and is open to anyone, subject to assessment. This program's goal, under the supervision of a Speech-Language Pathologist, is to help aphasic adults recover to some degree their former communication skills, thus reducing their social isolation and improving their quality of life. For more information contact the Halton Aphasia Centre at 905-702-5312 or toll free 1-866-204-4044. Are you interested in becoming a volunteer communication facilitator?
