A sports injury, mild or severe, will affect your ability to perform. While many traditional treatment methods can help reduce pain and inflammation, few treat the root cause of the injury and can even cause more harm than good. At LaserLab, we offer sports injury treatment plans with the Summus Laser technology to safely treat your injury, restore the area, and improve your potential as an athlete.
Many different traditional treatment options are available for athletes who sustain sports injuries. Some include the use of steroids and anti-inflammatory medication to reduce inflammation. However, steroids are not without severe risk and can cause ultimately cause more damage to the tissue long-term.
Anti-inflammatory medications can temporarily reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Still, they can also make you feel like you have the license to continue participating in the activities without ever fully addressing the root cause of your pain or waiting for healing. Other methods, like rest, ice, and compression, can help the injured area heal, but such a treatment plan requires taking significant time away from the activity.
At LaserLab, we offer sports injury treatment plans with Summus Laser technology, a class IV laser device with a customizable power dosage to treat the root cause of the injured area in different ways. This device reduces inflammation, improves blood flow, regenerates tissue, promotes recovery, and reduces the risk of re-injury.
Unlike medications and steroid injections, this treatment addresses the root cause of the injury. It works to regenerate the tissue to promote quick healing so you can get back to the competitive field quickly and fully healed.
Sports injuries are often acute, meaning they occur suddenly and cause pain and inflammation that lasts fewer than three months. However, some are chronic, meaning they cause constant or intermittent pain for longer than three months. For that reason, the total number of Summus Laser treatments you will need to reduce your pain and heal your injury will vary.
Before we develop your customized treatment plan, we will meet with you to discuss your symptoms and condition and create a custom-tailored experience that’s right for you.
Our Laser therapy treatments are painless. Some patients report feeling a warming or tingling sensation during the treatment process. You won’t need any pre-treatment numbing cream to endure the process. Instead, you can relax, knowing that the treatment is safe and comfortable, and will begin immediately working to heal the injured area and restore full function and mobility.
We can treat a number of different medical conditions, many of which are the most common sports injuries sustained by athletes. These include but are not limited to the following:
Some patients notice an immediate reduction in pain following initial treatment. Depending on the severity of your condition, and the injury itself, it may take several laser treatments before you start to notice results.
However, even if you don’t notice any change in your symptoms after the first few treatments, you can rest assured that the laser technology is working and your body is responding with tissue regeneration and healing. Results vary, and we can give you more information about what to expect from your treatment plan at your initial consultation.
If you’ve sustained a sports injury that has caused pain, limited your mobility, and kept you from living up to your ultimate sports potential, you may be a good candidate for one of our sports injury treatment plans, which combines Summus Laser treatments with revitalizing and restorative therapies.
If traditional treatments have not addressed the root cause of your injury and pain or have only worsened your condition, and you’re looking for a natural treatment that will reduce your pain, restore full function, and heal your body, we can help.
A sports injury can cause frustration and force you to significantly alter your lifestyle, but there is a solution that can help you heal and come back even stronger. We can provide you with more details about how Summus Laser treatments, paired with our revitalizing and restorative therapies, can help you heal from your injury and become a better athlete.
