  • PhotoLight Therapy on We Deserve Better with Dr. Dorrin Rosenfeld, DC

    PhotoLight Therapy on We Deserve Better with Dr. Dorrin Rosenfeld, DC
    Feb 16 2024
    My guest tonight is Dr. David Yates, DC. He is an Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractor who will talk about his work with a therapy that can be used by anyone for healing. The specific technology he will discuss concerns natural healing via light using waste products from the body's normal processes. In the current world of aging baby boomers (of which your host proudly classifies herself) stem cell technologies have become increasingly popular. By reactivating old and damaged cells, the hope is that the body can live much healthier and better for a longer time. Dr.David Yates DC, PRS classifies himself as an Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractor Posture Reset Specialist. As such, his main goal is to help manage back and neck pain through the use of spinal adjustments. He concentrates on one's ability to maintain good overall alignment. I know this is crucial because most people who come to our office these days, complain of poor posture. As part of his job, he is a PhotoLight Therapy Technology Specialist. What that means is that he utilizes the current technology of LifeWave to help his clients heal faster, while managing their pain. He does this through the use of LifeWave patches. These patches are a form of phototherapy that when placed on the body, traps heat that the body produces naturally in its performance of everyday functions. This heat is captured in the form of infrared light. This light is then reflected in various different wavelengths of light depending on the type of patch used for different health benefits. To explain these patches, we have Caesar Gomez on the call as well.

  • After effects of a TBI - Dorrin Rosenfeld on We Deserve Better

    After effects of a TBI - Dorrin Rosenfeld on We Deserve Better
    Oct 20 2023
    Your host, Dr. Dorrin Rosenfeld, DC will be talking about navigating our lives following a brain trauma. There are expected changes after a TBI and some unexpected ones as well. I can talk about my own experience, and everyone's is different. I'm in the process of writing a book _My Guardian Angel Has a Sense of Humor_ because I believe we always get what we ask for, WHETHER IT'S REALLY WHAT WE WANTED, OR NOT. As I've written, we often beg for an immediate solution, when we have several things going on in our minds at the time. We might very well get them all, in spite of just the one we ask for. It's impossible to actually know what's going to happen, but there are some expected physical symptoms following a brain injury. The brain swells and sends out "the alarm chemicals" immediately following a trauma. These cause inflammation and swelling that can last for weeks, months, or years, depending on the severity of the trauma. This swelling then causes the symptoms we see. As everyone in this community knows, there are others, as well Medical imaging tests cannot show what's going on inside the mind. Several years following my trauma, I knew I was different, but the MDs said that everything looked normal. A diagnosis is for the MD, not the patient. There is usually complicating factors such as mental and psychological changes that are not officially diagnosed. Then there are the changes wrought by the medications we take. So, nothing is the same AFTERWARDS, nor guaranteed. I'd love to hear from others who have had uprooting of their lives following a TBI.
