Photobiomodulation therapy uses red and near-infrared light wavelengths to penetrate the skin and reach deeper tissues. This stimulates cells to improve circulation and repair damaged areas, helping reduce pain and inflammation in feet and ankles.
What foot conditions can photobiomodulation therapy help with?
Photobiomodulation therapy can assist with various conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, arthritis, neuropathy, and recovery from foot or ankle surgery. It helps reduce inflammation and promotes healing.
Is photobiomodulation therapy safe for everyone?
Generally, yes. Photobiomodulation therapy is non-invasive and safe for most patients. We evaluate your health history during your consultation to make sure it’s right for you, especially if you have photosensitive conditions or certain implants.
How long does a typical session last?
Sessions usually take between 10 to 20 minutes depending on the treatment area and condition severity. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
