Laser Therapy

Laser therapy employs low power or 'soft' laser light to aid the natural healing process of the body safely and effectively.  Laser therapy achieves improved outcomes in the treatment of plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, post op nail surgery, neuropathic pain, chronic oedema, diabetic ulceration, rheumatoid and osteo-arthritic joints. 

Treatment is quick, pain free and effective.  Appropriate probes are placed on the skin at particular points on or relating to the damaged area and light which is controlled for wavelength, power and duration passes into the tissue.  Depending upon the condition to be treated each clinic appointment will take between 5 and 15 minutes once or twice per week.

The patient will feel nothing at  the point of application.  but many report a relaxed feeling. 

Musculoskeletal conditions which have previously been managed with orthotics are regularly brought to resolution when laser therapy is introduced.  Patients respond quickly when treating soft tissue conditions and pain with results usually evident in the first 1-2 treatments.  Laser Therapy is extremely safe. Laser goggles are worn as a precautionary eye protection.
