Using Laser Therapy for Pain Management After a Sports Injury
Joint pain, muscle pain, and reduced range of motion and flexibility will affect your performance in the game, and can increase your risk of further injury. At Advanced Spine & Sport Chiropractic, we know how important it is for athletes to recover quickly from sports injuries. Read on to find out how our K-Laser therapy treatments in Ventura, CA, can help you heal faster and get back on your feet.
What is K-Laser Therapy?
K-Laser therapy uses a medical laser device to deliver targeted low-level laser light to an injured or affected area of the body. We will apply laser light to targeted treatment areas for around 30 seconds to one minute at a time. The device uses specific wavelengths of light, which stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. In addition to accelerated healing, K-Laser therapy also reduces pain, stiffness, inflammation, edema, muscle spasms, muscle cramps, and swelling.
Which Sports Injuries Respond to Laser Therapy?
Using low level laser therapy offers consistent results for a wide variety of sports injuries. K-Laser therapy can be used on almost any area of the body. It is especially effective at treating sports injuries and improving recovery time. Laser therapy has a remarkable effect on different forms of tendinitis and repetitive stress sports injuries, including tennis elbow, jumper’s knee, golfer’s elbow, Achilles tendinitis, rotator cuff tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis. Research has shown that sports injuries that respond particularly well to K-Laser therapy are bursitis, ligament damage, frozen shoulder, muscle strains and sprains, swimmer’s shoulder, jumper’s knee, tennis elbow, and inflammation of the tendon sheath.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Therapy After a Sports Injury?
Both amateur and professional athletes want a fast recovery after a sports injury so they can get back in the game as quickly as possible. K-Laser therapy expedites healing without the risks associated with surgery, prescription medications, and more invasive procedures. In just one or two treatment sessions with our team, you will notice a significant reduction in pain and inflammation. By combining laser therapy with chiropractic care and physical therapy, you will recover faster and come back stronger. We can even help you reduce your risk of future sports injuries.
