K Laser Therapy

have been offered this by my Osteo for help in healing a bone and reducing inflammation after surgery. Online reviews look positive…. Anyone have any experience?

No first hand experience but used to take my dog once a week to the vet for it! I was sceptical at first but insurance was paying so didn’t mind trying it and within a few weeks saw a massive improvement in his back hips mobility. Managed about 18 months of solely using it to keep him going before we had to start adding painkillers in too to keep him happy. Wouldn’t hesitate to try it myself if needed and have wondered about getting one of the cheaper units available for home use for those minor niggles but the reviews seem less favourable as they aren’t as powerful

What’s this Witchcraft ?

Wife currently trying this for a broken 5th metatarsal. Common football injury, and apparently every pro club use these lasers.

She isn’t paying so is going 6 days a week for a fortnight. After 4 days she’s up and about with less swelling and a lot less pain.

might be placebo or snake oil, but if that has a positive effect then why not- means less housework for me!

All the gumph that I read seems to suggest around a 30-50% improvement in healing time over doing nothing. And around 85% success rate. Which seems too massive to be placebo. But I am sceptical nonetheless. That said, I had my first session today and another later in the week….
