Laser Treatments

Laser Therapy, or photo biomodulation, uses focused light wavelengths to stimulate cells, reducing pain, inflammation, and edema while accelerating tissue healing. It encourages the body’s natural healing processes without drugs, commonly treating musculoskeletal injuries, chronic arthritis, and skin conditions in sessions lasting few minutes.

Laser Treatments On the other hand, has the benefit and power to concentrate narrow beam of light (or energy) to a specific target area, such as skin, hair follicles, or tissues. This light energy is absorbed by target molecules called chromophores (pigment, blood, or water), generating heat that destroys, shrinks, or stimulates healing in the targeted tissue without damaging surrounding areas.

LASER MLS

Have you tried everything to manage your pain? Want to get off the drugs? The FDA IN 2002 approved the latest Laser Therapy called MLS and is currently being used by a variety of medical specialties, as well as professional sports teams, including the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Cavaliers. It is excellent for patients who has injuries and chronic pain by jumpstarting. The results are amazing. Most people experience positive results from MLS Laser Therapy in 1 to 3 treatments, with the average course of treatment being 7 to 10 sessions.

Swelling is greatly reduced and there is rapid relief of pain. Acute conditions usually subside quickly, typically within one phase of treatments, while chronic conditions can be controlled with regular treatments.

The effects of MLS Laser Therapy are cumulative; therefore, expect to see improvement as you proceed through your treatment plan. It is critical that once you start, you complete the course of treatments recommended by Dr. Sommer, or symptoms are likely to recur.

How Do Lasers Work?

Laser energy stimulates cells to remove toxins, like histamine and cytokine, out of cells. This same laser energy allows oxygen and food loads to enter the cells, block pain signals to the nociceptors in the brain, releases endorphins and encephalin.

Laser light increases ATP production and cell growth. It brings blood flow to the area and increases angiogenesis of capillaries.

MLS Laser Therapy can actually decrease healing time by 30-40%. In fractures, it will increase osteoblast production within the first 10 days only.

In a nutshell, the MLS Laser stimulates the mitochondria in cells to jump-start the body’s own healing process. Like an antibiotic, each treatment is cumulative in its effectiveness, building off the previous treatments.

LASER FUNGUS NAILS

Fungal Nail Infections

Fungal infection of the toenails is a common health condition, although many people assume it’s only a minor problem. If a fungal infection is ignored, it could spread and impair your ability to walk.

Why are my toenails thick and yellow?

Thickened, brittle, discolored nails often indicate a fungal infection.
Fungal infections may not be painful in the beginning. The nail may begin to show small patches of white or yellowish-tan color. It may become brittle and split. As the infection progresses, the nail becomes thicker and deformed and may begin to grow at an angle. Pain may develop as the deformed nail causes pressure inside shoes.

What causes a fungal infection?

Fungi, along with dirt and debris, become trapped under the toenail and penetrate the softer nail bed. Nails attacked by fungus thicken, discolor and may separate from the nail bed or even crumble away.

How is it treated?

Your podiatrist can recommend appropriate treatment, depending on the severity of the infection. Medication is often prescribed. In some cases, surgery may be needed to remove the infected nail.

How can I prevent fungal infections?

Fungal infections, like athlete’s foot, develop in warm, damp environments. Keep your feet clean and dry. Always wear clean socks and let your shoes dry out between wearings. Also try not to walk barefoot in community areas.

LASER SPIDER VEINS
