Patent ID: 8435274

Claim:
A method comprising: generating a first soliton wave through a laser diode of a first medical instrument at a wavelength of approximately 660 nm to 808 nm; generating a second soliton wave through a laser diode of a second medical instrument at a wavelength of approximately 660 nm to 808 nm; applying the first soliton wave at a power density of 1 W/cm 2 to a first application point located over a subchondral bone of a knuckle of a patient suffering from osteoarthritis, for a one minute duration; applying the second soliton wave at a power density of 1 W/cm 2 to a second application point located over an articular cartilage of a wrist of the patient suffering from osteoarthritis, for a one minute duration; coordinating the application of the first soliton wave and the second soliton wave through an algorithm that controls the generation of the first soliton wave of the first medical instrument and the generation of the second soliton wave of the second medical instrument; and reducing a swelling and inflammation of the first application point and the second application point of the patient as a result of the application of the first soliton wave and the second soliton wave.
