Subject: [aptaoncology] Re: Low level laser
Hi Joy and Scott,
I just checked with Riancorp to see if there is policy or any literature
regarding use of Riancorp cold laser during radiation.
Technically it would be off label, traditionally it is used after radiation to
treat the aftereffects. There is no literature to say that it is harmful or not
to the radiation process that Riancorp is aware of.
I can check with a radiation oncologist friend of mine to get another opinion.
Best, Lesli

Scott- you may want to check with your RadOnc physicians- my understanding is
that the goal of radiation is to create inflammation in the target tissues and
therefore- using the low level laser DURING radiation therapy may NOT be
indicated….

The ones we use are from RianCorp, LTU-904. I use it for cording and scar
tissue break-up, especially during and immediately after radiation therapy when
I don't want to do any extensive manual work on irritated skin. I bill under
manual therapy.

Hello
Would anyone who is using LLLT to treat lymphedema please share what type of
laser you use (brand), if you find it useful in your practice and if you bill
for it separately or under manual therapy.
Thanks
Claudia Wiser
