The AAOS guidelines are recommendations to help form clinical treatment procedures, according to a Sept. 16 news release. Laser therapy promotes the regrowth of tissue and improves blood circulation around the knee. It also triggers the release of endorphins.
The guideline says, “Patients should expect to experience improvements in pain and function with the treatment. There have been no reports of serious side effects from laser treatment for pain control.”
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
