Posted on: 05/07/2012 I have been diagnosed with tendinitis of right thumb making it near impossible to carry out every day functions. For the past 4 months undergoing IFT, ultrasound and lazer therapy with manipulation by the therapist. Shown tremendous improvement. Question is how long should one continue this routine without side effects. I am 60. Please respond. Thanks

Posted on: 11/30/2011 Hi. Sorry about my poor English. I've a persistent pain in heel [apparently bursitis]. I've done more than 30 laser treatment sessions. Start feeling better but not completely healed. I'm a runner. When I run it came back. Now my friends are telling me that laser is bad to health,and that I should stop it. However, doctor says there is no problem. Should I continue using that laser? |
