Laser Light Therapy
Are you suffering from foot or leg pain which is stopping you from doing the things you love? At Advance Foot Clinic Podiatry, we now introduce Class IV Low-Level Laser Light Therapy, a cutting-edge treatment designed to shorten and ease your journey to pain relief. This comprehensive guide will explore the benefits, applications, and versatility of laser therapy, which we now offer to the Brisbane and Mount Isa communities across five convenient locations.
What is Laser Therapy?
Class IV Low-Level Laser Light Therapy, which is commonly known as laser therapy and light therapy, utilises specific wavelengths of light in order to stimulate cellular activity. By stimulating mitochondrial cell activity, it quickly reduces pain and helps injured tissue move through the stages of healing. Healing therefore happens more quickly than it would naturally. This revolutionary non-invasive treatment modality has gained prominence for its ability to accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain.
How does the Laser treatment work?
During a therapy session, the targeted area is exposed to focused laser light. This then stimulates cellular energy production, enhancing the body’s natural healing processes. The therapeutic effects extend to improved blood circulation, reduced inflammation, and accelerated tissue regeneration along with pain relief.
What conditions is Laser treatment used for?
1. Plantar Fasciitis
Laser light provides a targeted approach to alleviate the pain associated with Plantar Fasciitis. By stimulating cellular repair, it accelerates healing and reduces inflammation in the plantar fascia.
2. Neuropathy
Laser light treatment has shown promise in managing neuropathic pain by improving nerve function and reducing inflammation. It’s a valuable addition to comprehensive treatment for individuals with peripheral neuropathy.
3. Wound Healing
Laser treatment promotes efficient wound healing by accelerating tissue repair and reducing inflammation. It’s particularly beneficial for patients with diabetic foot ulcers or slow-healing wounds.
4. Tendonitis and Tendinopathy
Light therapy addresses various types of tendonitis and tendinopathy by promoting cellular regeneration and reducing inflammation. It offers a non-invasive alternative for those dealing with conditions like Achilles Tendonitis.
5. Arthritis
Individuals suffering from arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, can find relief through light therapy. It helps manage pain, reduce inflammation, and improve joint function.
Who is Suitable for Laser Light Therapy?
Laser light therapy is a versatile and safe treatment suitable for individuals seeking non-invasive pain relief. If you’re dealing with acute or chronic foot or leg pain, our experienced podiatrists will assess your condition and determine the suitability of the therapy for your specific needs.
What to Expect in a Laser Therapy Session
Before your light therapy session, our podiatrists will conduct a thorough examination to understand your condition. The therapy itself involves directing the laser to the targeted area. Sessions are typically painless and may last anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the specific condition being treated. Additionally, the number of sessions required will vary according to presenting problem and individual treatment response.
