2 TRAUMATOLOGY SECTION 3 59 IMPORTANT 3 comra therapy is particularly good for fractures, dislocations and other trauma. However, bandages and plaster casts will distort the radiances, and render the Delta / Palm laser ineffective. Therefore bandages should be removed prior to treatment, and then put back after the treatment. Plaster casts should have a hole cut the same size as the Medical Terminal, directly opposite the fracture or broken bone in order to facilitate using comra therapy. Skin scabs and ossification of bones develop very rapidly. In the case of bone fractures and broken bones laser treatment also eliminates deformation that can result from poor adhesion. For deforming rheumatoid joint inflammations it is also necessary to check the correct functioning of the pancreas, the liver, the kidneys, the alimentary canal and the immune system, and if necessary to treat these too at the same time as treating the rheumatism. 4 In treating the heart area (4 th intercostal, left of sternum) NEVER use a frequency other than 5 Hz. 5 A number of treatments in this user guide are complex treatments in which several standalone treatments have been combined to form one course of treatment. If in such cases more than one of the individual treatments calls for the heart area (4 th intercostal, left of sternum) to be treated, ensure that this is done only once. Pro NOTES Treatment times given in this user guide were designed for the home user with the Delta or Palm 980 nm laser to give a conservative starting point. Treatments with the professional 905 nm laser are more intense, and therefore these treatment times may be shortened, and also the space between treatments extended further, as determined by feeling and experience.

3 In treating the heart area NEVER use a frequency other than 5 Hz. Do NOT use on patients who have had heart transplants, who have hearts with artificial valves or who have cardiostimulators. SECTION 3 TRAUMATOLOGY 9 mins ± OSTEOCHONDROSIS retardation of bone growth in children. OSTEOPOROSIS deterioration of bones. SCOLIOSIS* TREATMENT POINT MINS HZ From coccyx to occiput at 0 cm intervals 000 Delta Medical Terminal or comra Palm. Along both sides of vertebral column through long extensors at 0 cm intervals per point th intercostal, left of sternum (only once per day) 5 x daily for x days Allow weeks rest and repeat cycle as necessary. Do one course every 6 months for continued well-being. For osteochondrosis do course every 6 months until growth is normal. 4 5 Liver, points 0 cm apart in right subcostal space Pancreas, points 0 cm apart in left subcostal space per point 50 Scoliosis also requires physical exercise over and above laser treatment in order to be corrected. As the vertebrae and discs can be very easily damaged in this condition, it is highly recommended that the patient seeks the help of a qualified practitioner of the Alexander Technique for this type of exercise. Pro NOTES Treatments with the professional 905 nm laser are more intense, and therefore these treatment times may be shortened, and also the space between treatments extended further, as determined by feeling and experience. 60 comra user guide [ENGLISH, REV 4.0]

Since spondylolithesis is caused by the back muscles not being strong enough to support the spine adequately, it is also necessary to do exercises to help correct the ailment as well as strengthen the back muscles so that the vertebrae do not continue to become displaced. As the spine of a patient with spondylolithesis is very tender and easily hurt, the exercises which are recommended are those which can be designed specifically for the patient by a qualified practitioner of the Alexander Technique, depending upon where in the spine the Spondylolithesis is situated, and executed under that practitioner s supervision.
