Laser therapy is considered one of the semi-mythical methods. It is based on the effect on tissue of laser radiation with a certain wavelength of light.
Among the effects attributed to this type of therapy, in particular:
☛ anti-inflammatory,
☛ pain reliever,
☛ anti-edematous,
☛ healing.
The range of use is wide. But usually the laser is used in the case of rheumatic and degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system, bedsores, muscle spasms and for wound healing.
However, given the available data, experts are convinced that the laser, at best, can only be an addition to proven and effective rehabilitation care. Although, of course, it is better to wait for more thorough and qualitative research on this method.
