What laser therapy is
Our clinic uses a Class IV K-Laser, a device held against the skin over a targeted area of the foot or lower limb. In podiatry it is one option a clinician may consider for certain complaints, chosen after assessment and used within a broader plan rather than on its own.
In a session
You sit or lie comfortably while the podiatrist moves the laser applicator over the area for a short period. The treatment is non invasive and generally comfortable, and some people notice a mild warmth. Depending on the complaint and the assessment, a course of sessions may be suggested.
Where it fits
Laser is one of several options we may use for selected musculoskeletal and soft tissue complaints of the foot and lower limb. It is chosen to suit the individual and combined with the rest of the plan, not used as a standalone answer.
Is it right for you
Laser is not appropriate for every person or condition. The podiatrist reviews your history and the area, explains what a session involves, and recommends it only where it is a reasonable part of your plan.
When we use it
We have a Class IV laser in clinic and use it selectively, where the assessment points to it as a sensible addition to your plan.
