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.

At Align Foot & Ankle Clinic, we will check with your insurance provider to determine coverage and provide you with information on any out-of-pocket expenses.
How soon can I expect to see results from laser therapy?
Many patients experience relief from pain and inflammation after just a few laser therapy sessions. However, the number of treatments needed and the time it takes to achieve optimal results can vary depending on the severity of your condition and your body’s response to treatment.
