Laser spine institue
Hi,
I will just pass along the info I received regarding Laser Spine Institue. My US surgeon said he has a laser in his office that his practice purchased--they have over 30 orthopedic surgeons in the group. He said it is gathering dust because the outcomes were so poor they dont use it. He said the laser spine institue uses a "bait and switch". And dont actually do much laser because it doesnt work.
That is all I know and bear in mind that is one MD. I dont have any further opinion or info, so for what it is worth 
Laurie
