Laser light may soothe growing pains in young athletes

This study tests whether low-level laser therapy (a painless light treatment) can reduce knee or heel pain in active kids aged 10–17 with Osgood-Schlatter or Sever disease. About 30 young athletes will receive either real laser or a sham (fake) treatment over two weeks. Researchers will measure pain, function, and safety to see if the laser works better than placebo.
