Laser Therapy

About Laser Therapy

At AMS Podiatry, we offer safe, evidence-based laser therapy to help reduce pain, inflammation, and promote healing. Laser therapy is non-invasive and suitable for both acute and chronic foot conditions, including fungal nail infections.

Laser therapy uses focused light energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes at a cellular level. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by targeted tissues, which triggers several beneficial effects:

Reduces Inflammation: Laser energy helps calm the inflammatory response, decreasing pain and swelling.
Promotes Tissue Repair: It stimulates cells to produce more energy (ATP), encouraging faster repair of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin.
Improves Circulation: Increased blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to tissues, enhancing healing.
Pain Relief: Laser therapy can temporarily block pain signals to the brain, providing relief during and after treatment.
Fights Fungal Infections: The light penetrates fungal nail tissue, reducing fungal activity and supporting healthier nail growth.
Supports Chronic and Acute Recovery: Whether it’s a recent injury or long-term condition, laser therapy can help improve mobility and reduce discomfort over time.

Treatment Process

Assessment: We first assess your condition to tailor the laser treatment.
Treatment Sessions: Typically, sessions last 10–20 minutes, depending on the condition and severity.
Frequency & Average Sessions: Most patients benefit from 1–2 sessions per week, with the average treatment course being 6–8 sessions depending on the condition.
What It Feels Like: Laser therapy is often painless, and most people describe the sensation as a gentle warmth over the treated area.
When Results Are Felt: Some patients notice pain relief after the first session, while for others improvement is more gradual over the full course of treatment.
Downtime: There is no recovery time required, so you can resume normal activities immediately.
