Recovering from surgery is rarely ever a pleasant experience. Even though modern surgical advances have greatly helped to reduce pain and speed up recovery time for many surgeries, healing still takes longer than anyone would like.
If you’re an orthopedic surgeon looking for innovative methods to optimize your patients’ post-surgery healing process, look no further than laser therapy. As the leading laser therapy medical franchise, we at OrthoLazer are well-positioned to share what we’ve learned from delivering over 90,000 laser therapy treatments to our patients. In this blog post, we will explore how laser therapy can speed up the healing process after surgery, reducing inflammation, pain, and recovery time while minimizing the need for opioids.
The Effectiveness of Laser Therapy in Post-Surgery Healing
Post-surgery pain management and recovery are pressing concerns for both orthopedic surgeons and their patients. The over-reliance on opioids for pain relief has led to an alarming opioid crisis. That’s where laser therapy comes.
Laser therapy uses light energy to stimulate cells and reduce pain, providing a non-invasive, safe, and effective way to speed up post-surgical healing. Key benefits include:
- Increased blood flow: Laser therapy stimulates increased blood flow, which can accelerate wound healing at surgical entry points.
- Faster wound healing: Laser therapy has been proven to speed up post-surgical wound healing, reducing recovery time for patients.
- Decreased pain: Laser therapy has the potential to decrease postoperative pain, providing patients with a more comfortable recovery experience.
- Reduced swelling: Laser therapy has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce post-surgical swelling and promote faster healing.
- Scar reduction: Laser therapy is also effective in reducing the appearance of scars post-surgery, using focused light beams to remove scar tissue.
The use of laser therapy in post-surgical settings has gained attention in recent years due to its ability to accelerate tissue healing, improve vascular activity, and promote optimal conditions for cell growth and repair. This non-invasive treatment option offers a convenient and efficient way to enhance post-surgery recovery, potentially shortening the time required for increased activity and reducing the risk of complications1.
Reducing Inflammation, Pain, and Recovery Time
The effectiveness of laser therapy in reducing inflammation and pain is well-documented. By stimulating cells at the cellular level, laser therapy promotes the body’s natural healing processes. This leads to a significant reduction in inflammation and pain, allowing patients to recover more quickly and comfortably after surgery.
Patients who undergo laser therapy report highly positive experiences and results. They often experience reduced pain, quicker recovery times, and high levels of satisfaction. Many patients are so pleased with the results that they return for additional laser therapy treatments.
Minimizing the Need for Opioids
One of the most significant advantages of laser therapy is its potential to minimize the need for opioids in post-surgery pain management. The CDC and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) recommend laser therapy as an alternative to opioids for pain management.
By incorporating laser therapy into post-surgery recovery plans, orthopedic surgeons can provide their patients with effective pain relief without the risks associated with opioid use. This not only improves patient outcomes but also contributes to the overall effort to combat the opioid crisis.
