LASER

THERAPY

At Gait & Rehab Clinic we use laser therapy to treat
a wide variety of musculoskeletal issues.

How does Laser Therapy work?

Podiatry laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment method that uses a focused beam of light to target specific tissues in the body.

For musculoskeletal pain, the laser targets the affected area, stimulating the body's natural healing process. The laser's energy penetrates deep into the tissue, promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and accelerating tissue repair. This therapy is often used to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and soft tissue injuries.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR APPOINTMENT

History

Your practitioner will take a full medical, medication & lifestyle history if you have never visited the clinic before, or review it if you have. All your information is taken in a private room and stored on our secure database for your privacy & security.

Assessment

Before any treatment, your practitioner will undertake a visual and sometimes physical examination of your condition and fully explain the treatment plan they will follow to achieve the best outcome in the minimum amount of treatments.

Treatment

Once you and our practitioner are happy with the treatment plan, you will be given protective glasses to wear during the treatment. Laser treatment is non-invasive and the typical treatment is less than ten minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

How many treatments will I need?

This depends on the nature of the condition being treated. For some acute conditions 4 to 6 treatments may be sufficient. Those of a more chronic nature may require 6 to 12 (or more) treatments. Conditions such as severe arthritis may require ongoing periodic care to control pain.

We frequently combine laser therapy with other treatments. Using extra corporeal shockwave therapy alongside laser has produced very positive results in our clinical experience.

We will often incorporate exercise and rehabilitation programs as part of your overall therapy. Compliance with your treatment plan will only enhance your recovery.

Are there any side effects or associated risks?

During more than twenty years of use by healthcare providers all over the world, very few side effects have ever been reported. Occasionally some old injuries or pain syndromes may feel aggravated for a few days following treatment, as the healing response is more active after treatment.

There are only a very small number of precautions, for example, laser is never applied to or near the thyroid gland and eye protection must always be worn by anyone in the laser treatment area during treatment.
