Laser therapy is a popular treatment for pain, but it may not be safe for everyone. If you have a rotator cuff injury, laser therapy may not be the best option for you.
Rotator cuff injuries are common among athletes, especially those who participate in overhead sports like tennis and baseball. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. When these muscles and tendons are damaged, it can lead to pain and inflammation.
Laser therapy works by delivering precise laser energy to the injured area. This energy helps to reduce inflammation and pain. However, laser therapy can also cause further damage to the rotator cuff muscles and tendons, especially when not done properly. If you have a rotator cuff injury and are opting to have laser therapy, make sure you go to qualified practitioners only. Talk to your doctor about other options that may be more appropriate for your condition.
