Laser Therapy for Sports Injuries: What to Know
Sports injuries range from muscle strains and ligament sprains to overuse tendon problems. Low-level laser therapy has been examined in some musculoskeletal injuries as part of conservative care.
About sports injuries
Acute injuries usually follow a specific incident, while overuse injuries develop gradually with repetitive loading. Correct identification is important for appropriate care.
Where laser therapy fits
Research has explored low-level laser therapy in soft-tissue injuries alongside load management, rehabilitation and general injury care.
Common symptoms
Symptoms may include pain, swelling, bruising, stiffness and reduced performance. Symptoms can vary from person to person.
When to seek professional advice
