Low Intensity Laser Therapy

Low Intensity Laser Therapy appears to reduce pain and speed healing! When patients with Achilles Tendinitis were prescribed laser therapy with exercise (eccentric), clinical recoveries were accelerated.

A study was devised to compare laser therapy and a placebo. Patients who received laser therapy and exercise got better in 4 weeks. The group who got a placebo and exercise got better in 12 weeks.
