******** K.laser ********
Many of you will know I have access to a class IV laser at one of the clinics I work out of. I thought I would do a post showing you just how good it can be.
Recently, a friend of mine sent me a WhatsApp message with a picture of his swollen ankle that he had just managed to sprain. I suggested he come to the clinic for a course of laser sessions to help the healing. Laser is designed not only to speed up the process of healing but to increase the quality of the tissue healing as well.
The first pictures is (fairly obviously) of a very bruised, swollen and unhappy ankle. This is what the ankle looked like a couple of days prior to the first laser treatment. The 2nd picture was taken in clinic 1 week later after 3 laser sessions. My friend initially came into the clinic on crutches, wearing a boot and was unable to put his heel to the floor due to pain. The following week he was able to hobble across the room to the bench without the boot or crutches. With the extent of the injury, I don’t think this would be healing anywhere near as quickly as it is if we hadn’t used the laser. Clearly there is further progress to make but I wanted to share with you all just how good this machine is. With the right rehab exercises and treatment, I am confident we will get the ankle strong again.
Laser can be used for many things as well as ankle sprains. I have taken the following list of conditions straight from the K.laser leaflet in clinic:
🟢 Tendon injuries
🟢 Ligament injuries
🟢 Muscle strains
🟢Plantar fasciitis
🟢Repetitive stress injuries
🟢Chondromalacia patella
🟢Rheumatoid/Osteo arthritis
🟢General shoulder, back, knee pain
🟢Sports injuries
If you think laser may benefit you, feel free to pop me a message and we can discuss it further.
Laser is NOT a replacement for correct rehab but it is a very useful treatment modality to use alongside to aid the healing process
