Laser therapy is a popular treatment for rotator cuff injuries, and it can be an effective way to reduce pain and promote healing. However, there are a few things you need to keep in mind if you're undergoing laser therapy for a rotator cuff injury.
First, it's important to wear protective eyewear during the treatment. The light from the laser can be harmful to your eyes, so it's important to make sure they're protected.
Second, you'll need to avoid exposure to sunlight for a period of time after the treatment. The light from the sun can also be harmful to your skin, so it's important to stay out of direct sunlight for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
Finally, you should avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours after the treatment. Alcohol can thin your blood and increase your risk of bleeding, so it's best to avoid it after laser therapy.
If you follow these simple guidelines, you'll be able to safely and effectively treat your rotator cuff injury with laser therapy.
