How Laser Therapy Works
Laser therapy uses light to accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. The laser beam is applied to the affected area, where it interacts with molecules in the tissue to produce photochemical, photothermal, and photomechanical effects. These effects stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain, helping you recover more quickly from foot and ankle injuries and conditions.

How soon can I expect to see results from laser therapy?
