Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

LLLT is the application of red and near infrared light over an injured site to promote tissue healing. It is also known as Medical Laser, Cold Laser or Photobiomodulation Therapy

How does Low Level Laser therapy work?

The laser light penetrates deeply into the tissue where it is absorbed by cells and converted into energy which then promotes a number of biochemical effects:

Anti-inflammatory – Through its positive effects on local immune mechanisms, LLLT has a powerful anti- inflammatory action. LLLT stimulates blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, improves oxygenation and nutrition to the area, and removes waste. Swelling is reduced rapidly and tissue-healing is accelerated. Scarring is reduced.

Accelerated Tissue Repair - Rapid regeneration of skin, muscle, tendons, ligament, cartilage, blood vessels, bone and nerves. Laser therapy stimulates energy production in cells, helping tissues to rebuild.

Pain relief – results of increased endorphin release, increased serotonin and suppression of nociceptor action. This aids the restoration of normal function.

Laser reduces inflammation, accelerates tissue healing, lessens pain and gets you moving again.

At Rugby Podiatry we have invested in the industry leading LLLT – The MLS Difference

Most lasers used for treating musculoskeletal pain are a Class 3 or lower and only have 1 wavelength emission.

The MLS (Multiwave Locked System) is Class 4 and generates a combined continuous and pulsed emissions at two wave lengths. The 905nm super-pulsed laser treats pain and promotes tissue healing, while the continuous 808nm beam simultaneously reduces inflammation and oedema.

Advantages:

Painless in operation - often immediate analgesic effect.
Dramatically shortened recovery time with rapid reduction of swelling. Used in acute and chronic cases.
Non-invasive. No adverse side effects.
Compliments body’s own ability to heal.
Ideal adjunct to orthotic therapy

Low Level Laser Therapy is well-researched.

Conditions treated: sprains, tendon injuries, muscle and joint pain, arthritis, heel and forefoot pain.

Testimonials

I have had an excellent experience here. Everyone was incredibly helpful, kind and they explained everything clearly throughout my appointments. I never felt pressured in any way, and the aftercare has also been excellent. They have really helped me and I highly recommend them.

I wish I had been to see Peter long ago!! Peter and Francesca are lovely, friendly people. It was a very professional service from the initial phone call, right the way through the process. Peter put me completely at ease throughout the surgery and helped with my fear of needles/injections. The process was pain free and I already feel so much better.

Ricky Stevens

I'm a new patient and was treated this morning for a very painful ingrowing toenail. The whole experience was fantastic. The receptionist and podiatrist were very friendly and clearly take a genuine interest in the patient. I felt reassured throughout and the work itself was quick and painless. I would highly recommend Rugby Podiatry.

Outstanding. From the friendly and helpful conversation on my initial phone call to experience of my appointment - a warm welcome from Francesca to the thoroughly professional treatment from Peter. So pleased I found Rugby Podiatry and I thoroughly recommend them to anyone who has a problem with their feet. Five very well deserved stars!

P Jones

Fantastic, friendly and effective service. Had suffered with painful toes for a number of years. After being fitted with bespoke orthotics and getting properly fitting shoes, the pain has significantly reduced in severity and frequency, my posture and ability to walk for several miles at a time are also so much better.

M Waring

Suffered with plantar fasciitis and other issues due to 12 hour shifts with flat feet and reliant on painkillers. Got fitted for some proper orthotics and within a couple of weeks my symptoms had gone! Worth every penny.

B Thompson

I have worn orthotics for years, but my visit to Peter Barrow for personal assessment and gait analysis was different from anything I had previously experienced. His approach is very professional, analytical and the custom made orthotics I now use have improved my ankle strength, knee pain and gait. At last I have stability in my feet and knees.
