introducing anodyne® therapy
DESCRIPTION
The word Anodyne comes from Latin and means without (ano) pain (dynus). Anodyne® Therapy is a patented form of Monochromatic InfraRed Photo-Thermal Energy (MIRE™). Anodyne® Therapy is a physical medicine modality used to temporarily improve circulation and reduce pain, stiffness and muscle spam anywhere the pads are placed on the body.TRANSCRIPT

Monochromatic• Single wavelength of light (890nm)• Absorbed by hemoglobin
Infrared• Invisible to the human eye• Penetrates the body by approximately 5 cm
Energy• 780 mw power per therapy pad• Photo energy – not thermal
Flexible Therapy Pads• Maximizes efficacy and ease of use
What is Anodyne® Technology?Monochromatic InfraRed Energy (MIRE™)
www.rapidhealing.com.au Introducing Anodyne 3
IR is absorbed by hemoglobin and endothelial cells.
Resultant photo-dissociation of NO from hemoglobin
Hypothesis of MIRE™

Nitric Oxide Has Many Positive Effects
• Vascular
• Neural
• Wound healing
• Anti-inflammatory
• Anti-bacterial
• Anti-viral
• Bone formation
• Pain relief

Vascular Effects of Nitric Oxide• Dilates existing blood vessels
(arterioles, venules, and lymphatics)
− Increases capillary (nutritional) flow
− Increases antibiotic efficacy
• Angiogenesis…grows new blood vessels
• Decreases edema/swelling/inflammation
− Increased venous evacuation
− Increased lymphatic motility
• Reduces platelet aggregation
Indications for Use
• If therapeutic objectives are to:– Increase circulation– Reduce inflammation– Decrease edema (swelling)– Enhance soft tissue remodeling– Increase osteoblastic proliferation– Reduce pain– Increase sensation
• Far more effective than hot/cold packs, ultrasound, nerve stimulation

• Inflammation/Infection– Bursitis– Osteoarthritis– Tendonitis– Plantar Fasciitis– Lateral Epicondylitis– Neuritis– Synovitis– Bell’s Palsy– Cellulitis– Osteomyelitis (IV Antibiotics)*
• Range of Motion Deficits– Frozen Shoulder– Contractures
• Orthopedic– Non-Union/Jones Fractures– Degenerative Disc
• Chronic Wounds – Venous, Pressure Ulcers (Arterial)
www.rapidhealing.com.au Case Studies 10
• Pain– Neuralgia– Fibromyalgia– Neuropathic Pain– Ischemic Pain– Chronic Pelvic Pain
• Nerve Entrapments– TMJ– Carpal Tunnel Syndrome– Tarsal Tunnel
• Swelling– Edema– Lymphedema– Sprains and Strains
• Post-Operative – Reduce Swelling and Pain– Speed Healing– Reduce Adhesions/Scarring* Depends on involvement
Summary of Responsive Conditions
Why is Anodyne® Therapy Good For Diabetics?
Diabetes is a vascular disease• Retinopathy• Nephropathy• Peripheral Neuropathy• Autonomic Neuropathy (Gastroparesis; Silent Heart Attacks)• Coronary Artery Disease
Diabetic Patients Don’t Have Enough NO • Reduced production of NO • What little NO is produced is bound tightly to hemoglobin (HgA1c) • Glucose destroys NO
Therefore• More vascular disease• More pain (neuropathic; ischemic)• More non-healing wounds

All symptoms that Anodyne® Therapy is scientifically proven to provide relief for!
• Increased tensile strength of healed tissue– Wounds don’t break down– DPN ulcers don't reappear
• Reduced post-op complications– Keloid scarring– Dehiscence – Infection rates
• Reduced post-operative pain – Decreased edema– Patients ambulating/back in shoes faster
• Faster return of range of motion
