Low Level Laser Therapy

What is LLLT Used For?

LLLT is a versatile therapy that can be used to address a variety of conditions, especially in the realm of podiatry. Here are a few of the most common uses:

1. Pain Relief 

   LLLT helps alleviate pain by promoting the release of endorphins, your body’s natural painkillers. These endorphins interact with pain receptors, helping to soothe sore and inflamed soft tissue.

2. Wound Healing 

   For my patients with slow-healing wounds or ulcers, especially those with diabetes, LLLT can accelerate the healing process. The therapy stimulates cell regeneration and improves circulation, which helps in the repair of damaged tissues.

3. Inflammation Reduction 

   LLLT helps reduce inflammation, which is often a key cause of pain in soft tissues, by decreasing the production of pro-inflammatory chemicals in the body. This makes it an excellent option for helping conditions like arthritis and bursitis.

Why Consider Low Level Laser Therapy?

1. Non-Invasive and Painless 

   One of the biggest perks of LLLT is that it’s completely non-invasive. There’s no need for needles, incisions, or any other potentially uncomfortable procedures.

2. Low Side Effects 

   Another advantage of LLLT is its low risk of side effects. LLLT is generally well-tolerated by most patients. The procedure is non-toxic and does not involve any significant risks, making it a safe option for a wide range of individuals. However, like all therapies there are some contraindications due to certain medical conditions or pregnancy, and we will discuss these with you in person to make sure LLLT is the right therapy for you.

3. Natural Healing 

   LLLT works by enhancing your body’s natural healing processes. It can boost cellular activity, increase circulation, and promote tissue repair. It’s a natural way to support your body in healing itself.
