Why use laser therapy for the feet?
Laser therapy for the feet works by accelerating healing, especially of soft tissue and tendons. Because light is a form of energy, foot lasers harness this energy and bring it to a level that energizes cells to encourage cell regeneration and tissue healing. The most popular type of foot laser treatment uses two lasers to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and stimulate circulation in the blood and lymphatic systems.
