Summus Medical Laser Published in The Dynamic Chiropractic Digital Issue
FRANKLIN, TN, USA, February 23, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Summus Medical Laser has been published in the Dynamic Chiropractic March 2022 Digital Issue. The company is proud to say that its article is also featured on the newspaper’s cover page.
The article is authored by Dr. Phil Harrington who is the Medical Director and also the Clinical Manager & Laser Safety Officer of Summus Medical Laser. It is titled, Managing Ankle Sprain: Clinical Do’s & Don'ts.
In the article, Dr. Phil discusses that ankle sprain is a common problem for physically active individuals, causing a financial burden in the US healthcare system. He reiterated that once an individual has an ankle sprain, it subjects them to recurrent sprains and residual symptoms. He said; “Chronic ankle instability developing from ankle sprain is one of the most common sports injuries. Besides it being an ankle issue, chronic ankle instability can also cause additional injuries.”
Readers can also learn the two modalities used to treat ankle injuries. These are cryotherapy (ice application) and photobiomodulation (PBM).
● According to the author, applying cryotherapy to a sprained ankle is a wrong strategy. It is because it will cause the blood vessels to constrict, blocking the delivery of healing cells to the injured area.
● On the other hand, Dr. Phil explained that the best solution is photobiomodulation or laser therapy. This process delivers red and infrared wavelengths to both the surface and deep tissues. Unlike cryotherapy, this method will allow circulation, oxygenation, and metabolic activity. As a result, it will help the affected area with a faster healing process, because the nutrients needed for recovery are delivered properly.
