Just one more reason why one uses therapies to do a specific job but does not
use them at rides, etc.  The entire healing process must take place, and
although relieving the edema is an important factor, one does not rely on the
laser to replace Mother Nature and Father Time.  Also one more reason for
understanding how a particular modality works, so that one can apply it at the
appropriate time and quit when its specific job is done.
