New Sports Injuries Treatment Centre using lasers to aid quick recovery opens in Dorset

A dedicated Sports Injury & Trauma Treatment Centre has opened in Sturminster Newton, Dorset aimed at patients seeking fast recovery from fractures, muscle and tendon and ligament damage. The specialised treatment can increase recovery time by as much as fifty per cent, particularly important for people who cannot afford to be away from work for long periods or need to get back to sports training as quickly as possible.

Based at Back2Back Complementary Healthcare, the owner is Suzanne Norton, a specialist who is highly qualified in treating all types of injuries resulting from sport or trauma. Suzanne explains that the Sturminster Newton practice is thought to be unique in the service it can provide for those with sports-related injuries including fractures whether they are new, past or present, pinned, plated or plastered.

Suzanne explains the science, "Each treatment is designed for the injury that presents but usually we will use a combination of Low Level Laser therapy (LLLT), medical acupuncture, physical therapy to improve oxygen flow, and sports massage in each session. Other therapy modalities can also be used to support the joint during the acute phase, or to increase range of motion that was lost due to the fall or injury.

"The lasers are Class 3B and highly powerful in their effectiveness for these types of injury. It is not necessary to wait until you are out of a plaster cast, the treatment can start as soon as possible."

Suzanne explains that the type of laser used is very important. "Low level Lasers emit light that is absorbed by the cells reducing the stress on the cell from the injury. The light is absorbed and converted to energy which means the repair process can begin by increasing cell proliferation and also leading to a reduction in inflammation and pain."

Each session is totally painless and patients experience no side effects.Also sessions can be performed up to three times a day, speeding up the recovery process.Sessions are performed twice weekly as this has been shown to give optimum results, but this can be varied to suit the patient.
