LASER THERAPY (CLASS VI) IN BIRMINGHAM

LASER THERAPY CONDITIONS & TREATMENT

What is LASER Treatment?

Medical LASER can aid in the treatment of a variety of ailments, including those linked to podiatry and physiotherapy musculoskeletal conditions.  Chronically injured cells such as in osteoarthritic/degenerative joint usually are short of energy which limits their ability to heal and repair. By increasing the energy inside cells they can repair damage.

How Does It Work in Physiotherapy & Podiatry?

Class IV LASER help block pain pathways and increase the blood flow to injured tissue therefore accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, increasing metabolic activity and reducing fibrous tissue formation. Arthritis destruction also causes inflammatory molecules to be released. Class IV LASER decreases these molecules which helps reducing pain. After 6 visits (once or twice a week) most people feel improvement in their pain and stiffness. Likewise they have better pain free movement, less daily stiffness and soreness.

Any Risks?

Class IV laser therapy is a great option for decreasing pain symptoms. Most people do better with treatment. There are no any significant risks with Class IV LASER therapy, which is why it is a great option for pain relief and tissue healing following injury.

Advantages of Laser Treatment

Laser treatment is used for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Most individuals can benefit from LASER treatment because it has few side effects.

  • In many circumstances, it can yield obvious results after only a few treatments.

  • Most LASER treatments cause little to no pain or discomfort.

  • LASER treatment does not usually necessitate a lengthy recovery period.

Many patients claim that LASER treatments are more satisfying than therapies that involve traditional equipment or drugs.

LASER Treatment Recovery Process

With most forms of LASER treatment, the patient's skin is never injured during the LASER treatment process. As a result, there is no need for a recovery time. A transient sensation of warmth on the skin is felt by patients during LASER treatment.

What Kinds of Issues Can Be Addressed?

The most prevalent use of podiatry LASER treatment is to treat fungal nail infections, particularly onychomycosis. The look and texture of the nails gradually change as a result of this illness. It causes a distinctive discoloration that might be yellow, white, or brown in appearance.

LASER devices can partially or completely remove the discolouration as well as the fungus that causes it. Although there's still a potential the illness can resurface, the same can be said for all of the other treatments now available. The body's natural healing reaction in and around the joint muscle and tendons can also be stimulated with a LASER treatment. LASER light wavelengths have been linked to improve blood flow, healthy cellular turnover, and tissue repair. As a result, it could be used to treat a variety of disorders involving arthritis, pain relief and tissue repair and healing.
