NEW TRAUMATOLOGY TREATMENTS
Our Traumatology protocols have been expanded to help those affected by spinal problems.2,3

- TRAUMATOLOGY 17 is a protocol that assists with spinal disc herniation, spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis.
NEW NEUROLOGY PROTOCOLS
NEUROLOGY 2 is a Radiculopathy protocol.
It helps to repair damage to nerve roots in the spine and also assists with Sciatica (pain, weakness and/or numbness caused by damage to the sciatic nerve).4
Research shows that LLLT has many useful applications for ophthalmology (eye care).5
NEUROLOGY 14 provides treatments for an expanded range of eye diseases, including:
- Optic neuropathy
- Glaucoma
- Macular degeneration
- Retinitis pigmentosa
- Retinal detachment
- Myopia (short-sightedness)
NEUROLOGY 15 helps with the management of diabetic polyneuropathy. Find out more about managing diabetes and neuropathy with coMra.
NEUROLOGY 16 provides post-herpetic support6 for neuralgia and shingles.
NEUROLOGY 17 assists with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and post-traumatic neuralgia.
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM TREATMENTS
There is a very useful new treatment in the Endocrinology section.
ENDOCRINOLOGY 2 is a protocol for hormonal imbalance and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
SEXUAL HEALTH ASSISTANCE
Our SEXUAL HEALTH 1 treatment course can help with several sexual and reproductive conditions, including:
- Erectile dysfunction (impotence)
- Low libido
- Premature ejaculation
- Some forms of male infertility
EXPANDED IMMUNOLOGY CONDITIONS
The guide includes a new section called Immunology (formerly Autoimmune). The updated section expands upon the range of conditions and treatments.
Expanded conditions that can be treated with the help of IMMUNOLOGY 1 are:
- Autoimmune conditions
- Rheumatic diseases
- Immunodeficiencies
- Lyme disease
- Systemic Lupus erythematosus
- Drug-induced Lupus erythematosus
IMMUNOLOGY 6, 7 & 8 can be used for the prevention, treatment of and recovery from acute respiratory infections including influenza (flu), the common cold and COVID-19.
PEDIATRIC CEREBRAL PALSY PROTOCOLS
There is increasing research into the treatment of cerebral palsy in children using LLLT.7 Our updated pediatrics section covers treatments for cerebral palsy across a variety of age groups.
PEDIATRICS 5 Cerebral Palsy protocols include treatment courses for:
- Infants younger than 1 year old
- Toddlers aged 1 to 3 years old
