Who Benefits from Laser Therapy?
In life, we have many responsibilities. We must look after our bodies by brushing our teeth, showering, eating, putting on clothes, exercises, and many other tasks. When you are unable to do these simple tasks because you are in so much pain, it makes life much more difficult. Everyone wants to be independent, but when it hurts so much, even to walk, you frequently get frustrated and feel like giving up. It is during these moments when it feels like you will never get the chance to do the activities you once loved. If you are living in pain, laser therapy has the power to remove that pain so you can go back to living life the way you used to.
When people think of pain relief, they rarely think about laser therapy. People often believe that medication, injections, and surgeries are the only way to get rid of their pain. However, laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that does not use medication, injections, or surgery and has little to no side effects. This treatment plan is safe to use and has been very successful for years. So who benefits from laser therapy? Laser therapy has been used for numerous years to treat a variety of different injuries and conditions. Let's talk about who laser therapy most commonly benefits.
Athletes
Whether it is constant training, conditioning, and high-performance competition, athletes have a very different lifestyle. Athletes are typically very competitive and will wear and tear their bodies when playing. Constant stress takes a toll on the body, causing athletes to get more injuries than the average person. Depending on the sport, athletes develop various kinds of damages and pain. Whether it is the shoulder or rotator cuff in baseball, the Achilles, or ACL in soccer or the legs, knees, and ankles in runners, athletes add all kinds of strain on their bodies after years of playing.
Laser therapy can be used to improve athletes' overall performance. The lasers are used to regenerate the injured cells. Often athletes will take enhancing drugs to improve their performance and relieve their pain; however, laser therapy has been proven to have similar results without the consequences. Not only can laser therapy be used to enhance athletes' performance, but it can also be used to increase the pace of the recovery process and relieve their pain. Laser therapy is FDA approved and has been used to help thousands of athletes. It has been found that laser therapy reduces inflammation and scar tissue. Because the light penetrates so far into the tissue, it allows tissues, muscles, and tendons to repair faster. Even professional athletes like Tony Wolters have used laser therapy to treat their athletic injuries and have had tremendous results.
Personal Injuries
Every person deals with pain sometime in their life. Whether it is from everyday activities like sitting for long periods of time with poor posture, sleeping in the wrong position, strain from exercise, or whiplash from a car accident or other injury, laser therapy can be used to relieve the pain. A study was performed by a physical therapy group on a selection of twenty people with chronic back pain testing to see the effects of high-intensity laser therapy. This study found that high-intensity laser therapy can be a successful solution for people with chronic back pain. Another randomized study was composed to test the effectiveness of high-intensity laser on whiplash injuries. Through the research, it was found that high-intensity laser therapy is an effective treatment for people with whiplash compared to a simple physical rehabilitation treatment.
Various Conditions
Laser therapy is an effective solution in treating a variety of different conditions and diseases. From Achilles tendinitis and herniated discs to arthritis and fibromyalgia, laser therapy has been a successful treatment in the healing and reduction of pain. Hundreds, if not thousands of people, have had their lives transformed because of their switch to high-intensity laser therapy. These people lived their lives in so much pain that they forgot what it was like to be pain-free. They haven't even been able to perform daily tasks like walking or writing. These patients assumed they would have to live the rest of their lives with this pain. However, through the use of laser therapy, they can complete tasks they never thought they could.
