The effectiveness of using light and infrared therapy to stimulate rejuvenation in damaged tissues has been documented in more than 2500 research papers and approximately 100 double blind studies. Light therapy is an internationally approved therapy used worldwide by Chiropractors, Physiotherapist, and in Sports Medicine for 35 years.
7 months ago I injured my shoulder bench pressing. I was on a heavier day and when i completed the last rep, I heard several pops. Arm felt heavy and shoulder was very painful so I halted working out for 2 months. In that time I saw an acupuncturist twice (said it was a sprain) and he told me just to let it heal, ice it, etc. I went back going very light in everything but it was still hurting and after a week I stopped for another 3 months. I didn’t want to think I needed surgery and so I went to a chiropractor many times (said my shoulder was constantly subluxing) and it seemed I was getting a lot of temporary relief that I was happy with for a while, but as the time b/w visits increased I realized it was just that temp relief. I tried one more time for 2 weeks this time and it seemed to be manageable until the last couple of days. Finally I went to a sports medicine doctor and he told me the exercises I’d been doing to stretch from the chiro were actually making it worse b/c it my rotator cuff was stretched way too much already and that my shoulder was just moving around at will. Been doing rotator cuff therapy for about a month now and it isn’t getting any better…Sorry for the long history but my question is if anyone has had similar long term effects and if its time i get an MRI or something. Thanks in advance
