PODIATRY
RELIEVE FOOT PAIN
Reduce pain in injured tissue.
Treating foot pain is front and center for most podiatry practices. This can be due to inflammation related to neuritis, plantar fasciitis, circulatory issues, and/ or diabetic related pathology to name a few.
Class IV laser therapy, via photobiomodulation, has been shown to quickly reduce pain and help injured tissue move through the stages of healing by stimulating mitochondrial activity. It is a powerful tool that can be used within a comprehensive plan of care to help treat many diagnoses common to podiatric practice.
CLINICALLY USED FOR:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Morton’s neuroma
- Diabetic Neuropathy
- Achilles tendon pathology
- OA related foot and ankle pain
- Joint swelling
- Pain with weight bearing
DRUG-FREE PAIN RELIEF
“As a podiatrist, I use the LightForce® laser daily for foot and ankle conditions. I use my laser as the first line of defense before I move up to invasive procedures or medicines like opioids or anti-inflammatories. With laser therapy, the reduction in pain and speed of healing is so many more times faster than the old technology of ultrasound or diathermy.”
