Sports Injuries
Ankle Syndesmosis Sprain, Ankle sprains, Anterior ankle impingement, Plantar fasciitis, Stress Fracture, Foot Stress Fracture, Navicular stress fracture, Fifth metatarsal stress fracture, Achilles tendon ruptures, Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy accelerates the healing process, recovery and pain relief.
Plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis causes pain on the inner and underside of the heel. It may be worse first thing in the morning. It can affect every one old or young. Athlete’s, particularly suffer if it results from a partial tear of the plantar fascia, this the term used for plantar fasciitis which is a ’heel spur.
Treatment with Cold or Low Level Laser Laser Therapy
Ankle Syndesmosis Sprain.
Syndesmosis sprains are ’high ankle sprains they affect the ligament between the two shin bones, which are called the Tibia and Fibula. There is very little swelling on tenderness and for this reason they are difficult to diagnose.
(View also our Cold/Low Level Laser Therapy for treatment))
Grade 1-2. Syndesmosis Sprains can last 5-10 weeks.
Grade 3. Syndesmosis Sprains may require surgery. The recovery period for these injuries is 4-6 month and less with Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy.
Ankle sprains
The ankle sprains are the most common ankle injury.
Treatment with Cold or low level laser therapy for recovery and pain relief.
Foot stress fractures
Foot stress fractures are debilitating, the injuries can be severe, and require lengthy recover periods. The severest stress fractures in the foot are to the navicular and 5th metatarsal. They may require plaster or surgery; they have a very high rate of recurrence, treatment with cold laser therapy for a quick recovery.
Navicular stress fracture
Navicular stress fractures are a running athlete’s nightmare. The navicular is a small bone at the top of the arch of the foot. It does not heal well. This is due in part to poor blood supply and mechanical load.
Treatment with Cold or low level laser therapy
Fifth metatarsal stress fracture.
This stress fractures is to the 5th metatarsal bone, on the outside of the foot. The bone develops the stress fracture at its base which is halfway down the outer side of the foot. Treatment with cold/low level laser therapy combined with rest will accelerate the recovery.
The Achilles tendon.
The Achilles tendon is the longest and thickest tendon in the body connecting the calf muscle group to the heel bone which is called calcaneus which can be found behind the ankle joint. These Injuries can be subdivided into partial tendon injuries, Tendonitis or partial tears and complete ruptures. Achilles tendon ruptures will require surgery. Achilles tendinopathy which means without rupture, can be subdivided into mid-substance or tendon injuries and insertional or tendon-bone junction injuries. Insertional injuries more than not involved calcification of the tendon
Treatment with Cold or low level laser therapy.
Achilles tendon rupture
Achilles tendon ruptures are renowned in sporting activity, with rapid acceleration movements can cause this injury.
Ankle posterior impingement
Ankle posterior impingement is common injury where the ankle is placed in full plantar (downwards) flexion. The impingement is caused by an extra bone called an os trigonum.
Treatment with Cold or low level laser therapy or surgery.
Ankle cartilage injuries
An ankle sprain can lead to an injury to the ankle cartilage lining and may cause prolonged disability.
Anterior ankle impingement
Anterior ankle impingement this condition is very common in football players. The condition consists of bone spurs forming at the front of the ankle after repetitive sprains or contact injuries. Symptoms are pain at the front of the ankle and a limited range of forward movement which is called the dorsi-flexion of the ankle.
Treatment with Cold or low level laser therapy to aid recovery.

Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy/Treatment
The lasers used at Central Chiropractic Clinic are certified as Cold Laser. For the past 30 years the technology of Cold Laser Therapy (also known as Low Level Laser Therapy) has been formally accepted in North America and in many other parts of the world such as Europe, Russia and Japan. In all this time there have been no recorded long-term adverse effects from low level laser therapy. It is considered to be non-invasive, painless and safe.
Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy uses laser light energy to stimulate cells to function optimally. In the body, light sensitive chromophores and other elements within the cell absorb energy, initiating a series of important photochemical changes such as increased production of ATP. The mitochondria and Kreb’sCyclestimulation initiates the production of ATP, providing the cell with the extra energy needed to accelerate the healing process and positively influence pain. These activities can occur in all types of cells and includes ligament, nerves, cartilage and muscle.
Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a Handheld, non-invasive, light-emitting medical device which is used over different areas of the body. It provides an unmatched advantage in the treatment of conditions such as;
Knee Heel and Foot pain and conditions and injuries, plantar fasciitis, Tendonitis, Ligaments and Tendons.
Athletic / sports Injuries.
Soft Tissue Injuries including Sprains and Strains, Tendonitis.
