Laser therapy: watts your question and other laser joules
Wondering what’s all the fuss about watts, joules, class 4, and laser dose? Is it necessary to understand them for optimum laser applications? You aren’t alone. For instance, practitioners are sometimes encouraged to buy a high-power laser when their clinical applications may require less power with appropriate wavelengths. On the other extreme, some proponents suggest purchasing very low-powered lasers with inappropriate wavelengths for many physical medicine applications.
This Nuts & Bolts session provides answers to typical questions such as:
