summus laser treaTMENT for sports injuries

Sports injuries are a very common occurrence in the United States and across the world. Common sports injuries include minor injuries like sprains (minor tearing of a muscle), or strains (tearing of a ligament), to more serious conditions like dislocation of a joint, fractures, rotator cuff injuries and many others. Depending on the severity of the injury, healing times can range from days to months. Common treatment for the minor types of injuries can be, rest, ice, compression and elevation commonly referred to as the acronym R.I.C.E. Serious injuries can require the above plus strapping, taping, casting, and sometimes surgery. Although the above treatments can be beneficial, Class IV laser therapy has been clinically proven to promote healing by increasing beneficial healing types of cells to the injured area, increasing blood flow to the area, decreasing inflammation and decreasing pain. Here at Laser Center of Louisville, we have a Summus Horizon Class IV laser and treat sports injuries on a regular basis with very outstanding results!
