Laser Therapy

Low level laser therapy, also known as cold laser therapy is a great frontline modality for reducing inflammation and pain, while speeding up the healing process. We use laser therapy to treat a wide range of painful conditions, ranging from heel pain, to forefoot pain.

Low-intensity lasers are directed at the treatment area. The emitted light is a wavelength that can penetrate skin and treat the injured tissue. The light interacts with damaged cellular structures, enhancing tissue repair and reducing inflammation. 

We typically schedule therapy once to twice weekly until pain/inflammation levels have reduced to an acceptable level. A session only takes a few minutes and is painless. We will often perform taping and/or padding at the same appointment if indicated.
