Ding, dong! It’s our Alexandria, VA, podiatrist Dr. Gregory Cardinal at the door.

How Does Laser Physical Therapy Work?

Lasers are concentrated beams of light that the body's cells absorb and then use to trigger the body’s natural healing response, whether to repair tissue, fight inflammation or boost circulation. If you are dealing with foot pain that isn’t going away with home care and rest, it may be time to speak with our Alexandria, VA, podiatrist to find out if laser physical therapy is right for you. Most individuals will require multiple sessions to see optimal results.

What Conditions Does Laser Physical Therapy Treat?

At Podiatrist in Motion, Dr. Cardinal uses the Hyperblue Plus laser therapy system, which uses visible and infrared light to relieve common foot and ankle aches and pains. While this laser system is known for its ability to treat and kill toenail fungus, Hyperblue Plus can do so much more. Laser physical therapy can be used to treat,

• Muscle spasms
• Joint pain
• Muscle pain
• Stiffness
• Plantar warts
• Arthritic feet

Many individuals see that their recovery time is improved when adding this laser physical therapy to their current treatment plan. It can also promote a faster healing time for post-operative recovery and rehabilitation. Plus, unlike painkillers and other medications, the Hyperblue Plus system boasts virtually no side effects.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

You and Dr. Cardinal can discuss how many sessions you’ll need during your initial consultation. This often depends on the type and severity of your symptoms and the foot problems you are dealing with. Most individuals can benefit from one or two weekly sessions for multiple weeks. Laser physical therapy only takes about 10-15 minutes to complete.
