Post-Surgical Pain and Complications

Post-surgical pain can occur immediately after surgery or during physical therapy. Complications such as scar tissue development can lead to further procedures. Joint replacement surgeries commonly result in swelling and inflammation, affecting the body's ability to heal. Laser therapy can be beneficial in promoting healing, reducing pain, and addressing scar tissue. Physical therapy and laser treatments can work together to enhance recovery, especially in cases like knee replacements.
