Laser is just really a light source that can be varied to different wavelengths (these being visible and invisible). This can affect the body a few different ways, not only at a cellular level but also systemically. The awesome part is that because laser is a light beam, this eliminates nasty side effects.

Laser really is an amazing piece of technology, awakening your mitochondria at a cellular level, to increase energy, as well as your growth and inflammatory factors, to initiate a healing process.

Laser is used in clinic for:

• Muscle spasms and pain
• Wound healing
• Sports injuries
• Haematoma
• Oedema
• Knee Pain
• Hip Pain
• Lower back pain
• Sprains
• Arthritis
• Bursitis
• Tendonitis
• Sporting injuries

Treatment is generally quick and painless, and results are often felt after the initial visit. Treatments vary and are tailored around your pain and what we are trying to achieve.

Chronic pain results are often slower to see initially, but that can also be expected, having been there for a long period of time.

To recap: laser reduces inflammation and swelling, reduces pain, and reduces the amount of time your body would take to heal. Remember, podiatrists are a skilled subdivision of the medical team. We treat everything from the waist down, and have several tools at our disposal, to make it a more pleasant experience.
