Laser Therapy for Prevention of Nausea and Gagging

In the last year, I have been receiving an increasing number of comments from different health practitioners on the effectiveness of Laser Therapy for the prevention and control of nausea and gagging. Many patients who visit the dental office experience nausea and gagging, especially during x-rays or impressions. In some cases, the patient will require sedation to have basic dental work done. Application of Laser Therapy to the parasympathetic calming points on the wrist, specifically to the P6 acupuncture point, has been shown to significantly reduce the feeling of nausea.

This application may also be useful during the holiday season after too many Christmas cocktails.

Happy Holidays!!

Are you using Laser Therapy or interested in knowing more about the clinical applications or research? If so, then the North American Association of Laser Therapy (NAALT) Annual Meeting is the place for you! The conference is being held at the gorgeous Palm Beach Gardens Marriott in West Palm Beach June 4-6.

This year’s conference is shaping up to be one of the best. Returning again this year is the Introduction to Laser Therapy pre-conference seminar, which is being held Friday June 4th. Other popular favorites include the Safety and Contraindications Discussion Panel, breakout sessions for Acupuncture, Physical Medicine and Dentistry and a lovely poolside reception. This year’s program will also offer a veterinary track and a panel discussion on the use of Class III vs Class IV lasers.

To learn more and to register, visit http://www.naalt.org/2010-conference.html. This conference is really one not to miss if you are interested in or using Laser Therapy.

See you there!!
