Laser Therapy for Fractures

HEAL FASTER AND FEEL LESS PAIN

The average healing time for a bone fracture is 6-8 weeks. When a fracture occurs, the soft tissue around the fracture may also be injured, leading to pain, inflammation, and swelling.

We offer non-invasive laser treatment to relieve the pain and discomfort of fractures, stress fractures, and soft tissue injuries.

Laser therapy has been shown to speed fracture healing, decrease soft tissue inflammation, decrease pain, and positively benefit range-of-motion, all with ZERO SIDE EFFECTS.

In the above clinical study, patients with delayed union of limb fractures who refused surgical intervention were treated with laser therapy and Sarmiento functional bracing. Here is what the researchers found:

"The current prospective study of a clinical case series of patients presenting with delayed union of fractures involving the upper and lower extremities who refused operative intervention indicated that low-level laser therapy if administered correctly can on the one hand initiate the bone healing process and on the other hand shorten the time for fracture union"

In this placebo-controlled study, patients with closed bone hand and wrist fractures showed significant improvements in VAS pain scores, physical function, and cortical bridging at the fracture site following laser irradiation:

"LLLT provided pain relief, ameliorated symptoms, and induced healing effects, including improvements in physical function and grip strength in the wrist or hand, after the occurrence of a CBF."

This double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial showed significant improvement in pain scores for patients in the laser group:

"The use of laser therapy and analgesic medications had better effect during the 24 hours of recovery after the surgery. Laser radiation at wavelengths of 650 and 808 nm (R and IR laser) can decrease postoperative pain and analgesic use in postoperative period. LLLT does not have side effects like respiratory depression, skin reaction, and analgesic nephropathy that are seen with other methods."

Research is great, but just read these patient testimonials!

Jan, Foot Fracture Healed and Pain Free

"The healing of my broken foot is somewhat of a miracle! I was told it would take up to a year for a broken foot to heal. I wore a corrective shoe and received light therapy 2x per week for 11-12 weeks before I stopped wearing the shoe. Definite closing of the bone was apparent on x-ray after only 7 months! My foot no longer gives me any trouble."

KB, Knee Fracture Pain Gone From Using Laser and Whole Body Pod

 

"I was diagnosed with a stress fracture in my knee. It was extremely painful to walk on and my doctor suggested that I stay off of it completely. I felt it tingling every time I did whole body treatments and slightly less pain after each one. After 2 1/2 weeks of whole body with only one laser treatment, my knee never hurt again. A stress fracture completely healed in 2 1/2 weeks and I was walking and running on it with no pain during the 3rd week!"

The therapy works by increasing ATP production, reducing oxidative stress, and restoring cellular respiration in damaged cells, allowing them to repair and return to healthy function. It can be administered through whole-body treatments or handheld devices, and the recommended treatment protocol may vary based on the severity and history of the condition being treated.

Laser therapy does two things really well: reduce inflammation and increase circulation. This means it is an excellent modality to use for injury recovery. On average, patients using traditional treatments plus phototherapy lasers heal twice as fast as those using traditional treatments alone.
