Cold Laser Therapy Eliminates Pain for Utah Jazz Basketball Player
Cold Laser Therapy Eliminates Pain for Utah Jazz Basketball Player
Utah Jazz’s Earl Watson sought treatments to relieve pain and swelling from a sprained ankle after he had to sit out a game against the Clippers on February 2nd. Since the Utah Jazz’s team doctors’ don’t utilize cold laser therapy; Watson had to take a detour to visit his long time doctor in Los Angeles who performed the treatment on his ankle. After four cold laser therapy treatments the swelling and the pain in his ankle drastically reduced and he was able to play against the Lakers on Saturday.
The results? Watson scored eight points, and eleven assists. The Utah Jazz won 96-87 over the Lakers.
Jazz coach, Tyrone Corbin was asked about the treatment and he stated, “It looked like [cold laser therapy treatments] worked. His swelling is very down from what it was. He’s back on the floor. So that’s what I’m excited for.”
Watson stated, “I love to compete. So I’m not one to ever linger around any injury and sit out long times.”
He now insists that after cold laser therapy treatments he no longer has any ankle pain.
Dr. Schnee’s Opinion:
This article in the Deseret News shocked me because I couldn’t believe that the team doctors for the Utah Jazz weren’t using cold laser therapy to help their athletes. That just seemed so antiquated to me. Especially, since other professional sports teams have been using this type of treatment to help their athletes recover faster, with great success, for many years.
In my opinion, there is no valid reason why cold laser therapy shouldn’t be incorporated in EVERY sports team’s injury recovery regime.
The bottom line is…it appears as though the doctors’ working for the Utah Jazz need to start reading more research studies about new and effective treatments available to help their athletes. Of course the first order of business is to learn about cold laser therapy.
That is, if they want their players healthy enough to actually win games.
