Up to one-third of us experience foot pain, and laser therapy offers relief for foot and ankle discomfort — often without surgery or pain-relieving medications.
Laser treatment is often used for chronic pain, sports injuries, or when go-to home remedies aren’t enough. Most sessions take less than 30 minutes, and you’ll likely need a few treatments to feel the full effects.
Laser therapy is gaining in popularity, and for good reason. If other options haven’t brought relief, laser therapy could be a worthwhile next step. Schedule an evaluation with Jason Armstrong, DPM, in Shenandoah and Humble, Texas, and discover the benefits of laser therapy below.
Laser therapy delivers focused energy to targeted tissues, stimulating new cell growth. This enhances healing naturally, without the need for invasive treatments or harsh and addictive medications.
Laser therapy also helps boost blood flow, reduce inflammation, ease stiffness and pain, and regenerate new cells that replace the damaged ones. It can also shorten recovery time after an injury or surgery by harnessing your body’s natural healing capabilities.
Laser therapy supports healing and relieves pain across a wide range of foot and ankle issues, including:
Laser therapy also promotes optimal healing after foot and ankle surgery.
Dr. Armstrong might recommend ice, rest, compression, elevation, laser therapy, physical therapy, bracing, custom orthotics, injections, surgery, or a combination of treatments tailored to your needs.
Dr. Armstrong determines which treatment best suits you by discussing your medical history and symptoms, examining your feet and ankles, and ordering blood testing, imaging procedures, nerve tests, or additional diagnostic testing.
If you’re a candidate for laser treatment, he applies laser energy beams to the affected area while you relax. The treatment isn’t painful, but you might feel a warming sensation during laser therapy procedures, which often last 15-30 minutes.
You may feel immediate relief without any downtime needed. Many require multiple laser treatment sessions to maximize pain-reducing results, which are long-lasting.
