  1. Thermoregulatory responses to LASER therapy • Aluminum Gallium Arsenide (Ga-Al-As) semiconductor laser was used. • Patients studied • Seven ankle sprains • Two tibia fractures • One elbow dislocation • Looked at temperature at the site of the injury and the periphery surrounding it.

  2. Treatment • Using the (Ga-Al-As) laser, each patient received three to five minutes of treatment with one minute on each site. • After each treatment the temperature was measured to see any changes. • This continued five days post injury.

  3. Results • Treatment showed to decrease the temperature directly surrounding the area and in the periphery. • It fell by an average of 3 degrees • Researchers concluded that LASER therapy improves circulation and helps reduce swelling and edema.
