5 Foot Problems REMY Laser Therapy Helps Treat
Stubborn foot and ankle problems mean the pain just won’t quit. We at Goldsmith Podiatry feel that pain and are here to remind you that we have an innovative solution. When traditional methods hit a wall, advanced treatments like REMY Laser Therapy offer a powerful, non-invasive way to get you feeling better.
But as this article will reveal, this specialized laser isn't just for one thing; it targets inflammation and promotes recovery for a multitude of conditions ranging from plantar fasciitis to toenail fungus.
The Science of Remy Laser Therapy
At its core, REMY Laser Therapy uses light energy to penetrate the skin and target damaged tissues deep inside your foot and ankle. This light energy stimulates a process called photo biomodulation. Think of it as giving your cells a massive energy boost.
This extra energy helps your cells work more efficiently to reduce inflammation, speed up tissue repair, and alleviate pain. And all you’ll feel is a little warmth, no burning, until you can walk out of the office immediately after treatment.
REMY Laser Therapy for Chronic Pain and Inflammation
REMY therapy is excellent for conditions rooted in chronic inflammation and tissue damage:
Plantar Fasciitis: If you suffer from that sharp heel pain, this laser can be a game-changer. The light energy targets the micro-tears and inflammation in the plantar fascia and helps to reduce swelling and stimulate cell repair. You can find relief that helps break the cycle of morning pain.
Achilles Tendonitis: This tendon often struggles to heal because it has a poor blood supply. REMY laser therapy helps by increasing circulation to the tendon and encouraging the regeneration of healthy tissue.
Arthritis: For pain and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis or other types of arthritis in the ankle and foot, the laser works to reduce inflammation within the joint capsule.
REMY Laser Therapy for Healing Injuries and Infections
The laser's healing power extends to acute injuries and chronic infections:
Ankle Sprains: Once the initial swelling from a sprain has gone down, the laser can be used to accelerate the healing of damaged ligaments. It speeds up the repair process and helps reduce any lingering inflammation.
Toenail Fungus: But it’s not just for tendon or tissue issues. REMY Laser is also a highly effective treatment for infections. The laser energy travels safely through the nail plate and is absorbed by the fungus underneath it, which generates heat that is sufficient to destroy the fungus without damaging your skin.
Essentially, REMY Laser Therapy offers a non-invasive way to get your body's healing processes back on track. If you are struggling with persistent foot or ankle pain, asking us at Goldsmith Podiatry about REMY laser therapy could be your first step toward better steps!
