Low Level Laser Therapy

Each stage will follow this sequence of applications: (1) spine application (DUO-240 red and infrared array in a horizontal placement and 2 oblique placements bilaterally + LDR-100 laser probe + LDI-200 laser probe), (2) perineum application (DUO-240 red and infrared array in the surface of the perineum + LDR-100 probe) and (3) overlying branches of the pudendal nerve at the lateral perineum (LDI-200 probe). Parameters of frequency and duty cycle will be increased along with intensity as the stages progress.
