A laser therapy session’s time varies depending on what condition is being treated and the size of the area being treated.
Typically, a session’s duration can last anywhere between 10-30 minutes. The total number of sessions is determined by the individual’s severity of the injury.
The effects of laser therapy are generally minimal, however, some may experience bruising, redness, mild swelling or slight pain following the treatment. These symptoms usually subside a couple of hours after the treatment.
There is a possibility of the treatment causing skin irritation or allergic reactions, however, this is only in rare cases and the practitioner should discuss this before proceeding.
Yes, laser therapy is suitable for most individuals. However, there are some circumstances that are not suitable for laser therapy treatment, such as if you are pregnant, have active cancer and take certain medications.
It is important to speak with the healthcare professional before proceeding to determine whether laser therapy is the best course of treatment.
The effects of laser therapy vary depending on the type of condition, the individual’s response to the treatment, and if there is an underlying cause of the problem.
It is recommended that you discuss with your healthcare provider the expected duration of the effects of laser therapy treatment.
This depends on your insurance provider, policy terms and the specific condition which is being treated.
It may be best to check with your insurance if the treatment is covered before proceeding.
Shockwave can sometimes be mildly sore when treating and can last for a short while following treatment.
Whilst we are treating you we are asking for feedback all the time and will only work within tolerance levels.
It is true to say that the longer you have had the condition the more treatments you may require.
On average 6 treatments are required to see see the significant improvement however if conditions have not long started then possibly only 3 will be needed.
Our Shockwave is an EMS Radial Dolorclast shockwave. It has been consistently shown to reproduce force which doesn’t drop out during the treatment, therefore delivering consistent energy throughout the treatment and thus getting the best results.
Foot mobilisation is manipulations and mobilisations of joints and soft tissues to affect the facial which holds bones, muscles and joints together.
Over time when your feet aren’t function at their best they can become fixed in a poor position which then stops proper movement and causes pain.
Using FMT to help the fascial connective tissues release allows it to function better and as a result less pain and symptoms.
Foot mobilisation can help your feet function better by improving the range of motion in them. This helps to ‘reset’ the foot position and helps orthotics work much better. It can get you out of pain fast. Often when we do more activity than usual we can get a reactionary fascial tightening which can start the process off for us to become injured. FMT can stop this and ensure the fascia doesn’t tighten as a response.
We usually recommend a course of FMT of 4 treatments.
However we do often do one off FMT sessions to ensure maintenance whenever they are needed.
