Laser therapy is a non‑invasive treatment that uses targeted red and infrared light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. When applied to injured or irritated tissues, the light energy is converted into biochemical energy within the cells, helping them repair, regenerate, and function more efficiently.
This photo bio‑stimulation leads to:
-Pain relief through temporary inhibition of nerve conduction
-Accelerated tissue repair in skin, muscle, tendons, ligaments, bone, and nerves
-Reduced inflammation, allowing improved mobility and comfort
At Feet First Podiatry, laser therapy is an excellent option for both acute and chronic foot and lower‑limb conditions, including:
-Growing pains (Sever’s, Osgood‑Schlatter)
-Ankle sprains
-Shin pain
-Wound healing support
-Tendinopathies (Patella, Peroneal, Achilles)
-Muscle sprains and strains
-Morton’s Neuroma
-Forefoot and heel pain
-Post‑operative pain and swelling

Laser therapy is offered as a treatment block at $400, which includes up to 6–10 sessions depending on your podiatrist’s clinical recommendation. For best results, 2–3 sessions per week are typically required.
Your podiatrist will guide you on the ideal treatment schedule based on your condition and goals at your initial appointment.
What is laser therapy?
Laser therapy uses red and infrared light to stimulate healing within the body. The light energy is absorbed by cells and helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate tissue repair.
Does it hurt?
No. Laser therapy is completely painless. Most patients feel nothing or a gentle warmth.
How long does a session take?
Most treatments take between 5 and 15 minutes depending on the area and condition.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies by condition. Acute injuries may respond within 2–4 sessions, while chronic conditions may require a longer course.
Is laser therapy safe for children?
Yes. It is commonly used for growing pains such as Sever’s disease and Osgood‑Schlatter.
Can I combine laser therapy with other treatments?
Absolutely. It works well alongside exercise therapy, orthotics, footwear changes, and manual therapy. Laser therapy will heal cells and tissues but does not change structure or function of muscles and joints which is an important part of a treatment plan too.
What conditions does it help with?
Laser therapy is effective for tendon pain, muscle strains, ankle sprains, heel pain, neuromas, shin pain, wound healing, and post‑operative swelling.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare and mild. Some patients may experience an initial I increase in pain in the first 24 hours and a very few feel a tingling on application
How soon will I feel results?
Many patients notice improvement within a few sessions, though results vary depending on the condition.
