Torn Meniscus

Equipment: 30W AB, C Series Laser
Protocol Treatment Settings: Meniscus Injury

Brett, a 45 year old former Olympic long distance runner, still likes to participate in Ultra Marathons (100+ mile races) and maintains an intense exercise regimen. Last year, he tore is meniscus a month before his next Ultra Marathon Race in the Colorado Rockies. He didn’t want to have surgery and heard about the benefits of HILT Laser Treatment from several fellow competitors; what piqued his interest was learning about the great recovery results post race and the rapid therapeutic healing from meniscus and other sports related injuries.

After a few weeks of treatment with Laser Advanced Class IV Medical Laser, he was able to run the entire Ultra Marathon race without pain…his meniscus had been repaired.

He has referred a number of fellow athletes, especially distance runners to our practice.
