Low-Level Laser Therapy: Benefits And Foot Conditions Treated
What is Low-Level Laser Therapy?
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is also known as cold laser therapy or photobiomodulation. This therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to treat affected tissues in the foot and ankle area.
This therapy stimulates cellular activity, reduces pain, and accelerates tissue repair. The wavelengths used in LLLT (typically between 600-1000 nm) can penetrate several millimeters into tissues, reaching cells in muscles, tendons, and joints in the foot and ankle.
Benefits of Low-Level Laser Therapy
Pain Relief
LLLT stimulates endorphin release and reduces nerve sensitivity. This helps in pain relief without any medication.
Reduced Inflammation
With more blood flow in the affected tissue, LLLT helps reduce swelling.
Quick Healing
This laser therapy for foot and ankle treatment aids fast cellular repair and regeneration.
Improved Circulation
Laser therapy enhances blood flow, supporting oxygen delivery to tissues, which ultimately helps with self-healing.
