I originally broke the radial head of my right elbow 14 years ago. Over the years I developed arthritis in the elbow joint and had numerous surgeries to try to amend the situation. After which, I had severe lack of motion (extension) and as well as a lot of pain. Laser has helped greatly by breaking down the accumulation of scar tissue and allowing me to be within 1 degrees of full extension. My elbow extension is better now after laser than after 3 surgeries and other types of therapies. Pain is very minimal and mostly not noticed at all.
Over all I feel that laser has been the backbone to full recovery. I am now able to participate in activities pain free.
