My wife hurt her legs doing aerobic exercises a few weeks ago. (she had stopped for a month and then had a vigorous workout...) Her injury looked like shin-splints, but I seem to remember her mention diagnosis of a damaged muscle as well. The Physio-therapist wants to use a low power laser to promote healing. Has anybody heard of this before? The physio wrote down the appropriate points on a sheet of paper for me ... -- Low power IR laser -- Non Thermal -- Non ionizing - no radiation -- no side effects. The points that are out of my league: -- collagen repair instead of scar tissue -- inflammatory progress -OA,RA ??? -- Omniproble -- Meldelco Could some kind soul decode and comment on this treatment? Is it a standard one? Thanks, Kevin -- Kevin Szabo' watmath!watvlsi!ksbszabo (U of W VLSI Group, Waterloo, Ont, Canada)
