These types of head injuries have been in the spotlight lately, after studies show the lasting effects they have on Football Players. Joining us now is dr. Joseph leahy, the 49ers Team Chiropractor, to talk about the method he uses to treat concussions. Thank you for joining us. You use a unique way. It is not quite widely used . Guest not yet but we hope that it becomes generally accepted with an l e. D. Light. This unit has all of the therapeutic benefits that is vastly superior to lasers. This breakthrough has allowed us to treat concussions and the data looks successful. Marty what is it about this light therapy that is opposed to other methods that other teams use . Guest basically, the other teams perhaps as just advised to rest. However, with light therapy and literally reading thousands of studies that have been done we know that light will go into the brain and nerve cells. It accelerates the metabolic rate. That is what correct set. Marty our corrections theconcussions are the susceptive to light . How does that work . Guest that is a very good question we do not put it to the eyeball. That would stimulate the brain and it could be compromising the recovery. So, we use neural infrared and also gentle. And gradually increase the intensity as the brain shows some healing. Marty walk through this. Perhaps if i have a concussion howd you first diagnosed i have a concussion and secondly how what the treatment begin . Guest we are not using it on the n f l yet. We have studies and a small scale study and the minor league sabre cats team has responded well. Ideally, they will have a Baseline Study that we have developed. An analysis, matt that and if we have an incident we tell if they had a concussion by using an analysis. Patients will usually feel better after the first treatment. Marty how is the treatment . Guest it is in a quiet room, with 600 lights. And the studies have shown that the lights goes right through the bone into the brain it is very interesting. The patient is there for 2040 minutes. Marty great. Guest after about one week they will start to feel a lot better. The tests start to show improvement. Marty out to the athletes respond . It is not used in into the n f l yet. How to the athletes respond . This is their livelihood perhaps they do not want to be a guinea pig. Guest what happens is that once they start the treatment they can feel the results right away. After 20 minutes, they feel so much better nearly every single patient. They would demand the next treatment. Marty 1 what the next treatment began . Guest we would need more data. Right now, we are looking at them returning to play between one week, two weeks. After a relatively mild concussion. However, severe concussions were able to return to play after two weeks. Most recently, the documentary about the n f l concussions. Youd say that we still need a longterm study. How do you think what ever major Sports Organization would listen to these types of findings . Guest i think it is very likely i the nfl wants to get to the bottom of this. They are genuinely concerned. Right now, we have had the preliminary data. We should present this to the n f l and the universities to have a large scale study. Perhaps over in the next one year. Marty along with that study take . Guest probably one year. How long with that take . Probably one year. Based on what i have seen, we should be doing this treatment right now. The initial results are very encouraging. The Analysis Shows that it works. And since there is no downside let us do it now. Marty wide to the 49ers not use it . Why do not the 49ers not use it. Guest they would start to possibly start using it, very soon. That is a realistic. Marty dr. Joel laheyly thank you so much for having me.
