Revive Therapy Spotlight: Cold Laser Therapy (Low Level Laser Therapy) 💥
Cold Laser Therapy acts by inducing a photochemical reaction in the cell, a process referred to as biostimulation or photobiomodulation. When the light waves (in the range of 1-1000 mW, at wavelengths from 632-1064 nm) hit certain molecules called chromophores, the photon energy causes electrons to be excited and jump from low-energy orbits to higher-energy orbits.
Our Medical Director, Dr. Dan Engle, spoke about Cold Laser Therapy recently on a radio show:
“If you’re working in the red, infrared, or near infrared spectrums, those are typically activating chromophores or particular receptors in the cells that generate more energy production. They tend to stimulate ATP production, which is like the fuel source for the cells to be able to optimize their function.
You can use it more topically, or you can use it more deeply to stimulate the deeper neuronal structures and deeper cellular structures for optimal function and rehabilitation. We tend to use it more for areas of the brain that need levels of support. So if we can get specific in the area of the brain that’s functioning poorly because of injury or stroke, then we’ll guide and focus our low level laser therapy there.” ... See MoreSee Less

Revive Diagnostics Spotlight: Videonystagmography (VNG)
Revive utilizes research-based diagnostics to evaluate function in specific areas of the brain. Looking at eye movements, motor function, sensory function, cranial nerves, cognitive function, balance, and gait allows us to better understand which areas have been affected by the brain injury or stroke. This allows us to develop a treatment plan that targets those regions and networks to make them stronger and more efficient.
The Videonystagmography (VNG), or testing of eye movement, gives us a representation of the function of eye muscles, cranial nerves, brainstem nuclei, cerebellum and cortical regions. By measuring things like gaze stabilization, smooth pursuits, saccades, and optokinetics, we can differentiate the areas of weakness to inform our treatment programs. ... See MoreSee Less
