| Description | Treatment of multiple finger sprains is sometimes long and painful. Patients experience problems with pain, swelling and limited movement of joints. Results of lasertherapy are, in general, antiflogistic, biostimulating and analgetic. Combination with magnetotherapy seems to be also very useful. In case of finger sprains we recommend to start with physiotherapy before changes in the tissues become chronic. |
