Laser Therapy Institute Podcast

New research shows that laser therapy can significantly improve rotator cuff tendon tear repair.

Show Notes

A 2021 study takes a look at rotator cuff tears of post-stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain. Surprisingly, this shoulder pain issue can occur in 16-84% of post-stroke patients. For many rotator cuff patients, surgery or conservative care may yield good results.
 
In this episode, Dr. Rountree reviews the study methods, evaluation process, and how laser therapy was used to improve pain and tendon tear size. Is your exercise care plan enough? Or can you  improve patient recovery with laser therapy?
