"I can also give a very interesting example of using the BTL High Intensity Laser. A patient was diagnosed with ankyloses of the knee joint and pronounced stiffness. After the first procedure, the High Intensity Laser increased joint mobility by 45 degrees. After the first treatment! It was very impressive. In my opinion, the main advantage of the High Intensity Laser and Shockwave therapy is that they prevent surgery. The therapies are non-invasive, more comfortable, have no recovery period, which there always is after surgery. That is, that this procedure contributes to better quality of life. 

The BTL High Intensity Laser has been part of my practice for a bit of a shorter time than Shockwave, but we have found a differentiation in use between the High Intensity Laser and Shockwave therapy. The Shockwave therapy is particularly suitable for the treatment of chronic conditions. As to avoiding pain medication we recommend the High Intensity Laser for cases of acute pain and acute traumatic injuries. This is my recommendation."
