Dr. Benjamin Yuen will be participating in a one day advanced seminar on the integration of
laser therapy in the treatment of low back pain. This course will focus on the etiology of
back pain and existing methods of therapy. There will be a particular emphasis on teaching
various techniques that can be applied in any clinic setting to achieve optimal outcomes.
Included in this program will be presentations by Dr. James Donovan and Slava Kim outlining
the fundamentals and concepts of laser therapy. James’s lecture will discuss the roles that
frequency, duty cycle, duration and other parameters play in the application of laser
therapy, whereas Slava’s presentation will discuss clinical outcomes in treating low back
pain. In addition, a report on the clinical trials regarding the treatment of back problems at
the Meditech clinics will be reviewed.
The key-note speaker for the course will be Dr. Yuen who currently operates the largest laser
therapy clinic in eastern Canada. Dr. Yuen will describe how to successfully balance laser
therapy with other techniques. You are all invited to participate in this seminar
incorporating the utilization of this technology in the treatment of back pain.
This course will proceed at the same time and in the same location as Meditech’s Vancouver
Certification Training Course. This will permit clinics to send representatives to both the
Certification Course and the Advanced Training Seminar.
Clinicians wishing to spend the first day in the advanced training course and the second day
as a hands-on refresher in the certification training program are encouraged to sign up
early as space will be limited for the second option. We look forward to seeing you at these
events!
