Get Rid for Toenail Fungus Swiftly and Effectively

If you spent the summer trying to keep your toes out of sight due to toenail fungus, laser therapy can put an end to your embarrassment. Typical patients with this condition experience:

  • Yellow or other discoloration of your toenails

  • Thickened or brittle toenails that may be peeling or chipping away at the corners

  • An unpleasant odor coming from the nail area

  • Pain

In addition to these unpleasant symptoms, toenail fungus can spread to other parts of your feet and to other people. It can also increase your risk for another painful condition: Ingrown toenails.  

Laser therapy penetrates the nail bed, killing the colony of fungus living there. Once this occurs, the nail bed can begin to grow a healthy new nail that you will not feel you have to hide next summer.

Pain Relief for Feet and Ankles

Podiatric pain can have many sources: bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Patients with chronic pain know how debilitating it is to live with foot pain daily. Laser therapy treats many of the conditions causing the pain. Some common ones include:

How Does Laser Therapy Work?

The laser light placed against the skin sends photons penetrating down several centimeters, where they are absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy-producing part of the cell. This is beneficial in several ways:

  • Decreased inflammation, which leads to pain relief

  • Increased blood circulation, which promotes healing

  • Restoration of normal cell function and acceleration of cellular reproduction and growth

Laser therapy is quick, easy, and produces no harmful side effects. The sensation of the laser is warm and soothing and not uncomfortable for the patient.
