Low Level Laser Therapy in London for Pain Relief & Healing (Sydenham, Croydon, Covent Garden)
What is Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)?
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity infrared light to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. At Flawless Feet Podiatry & Laser Clinic, we offer this advanced therapy to help treat various musculoskeletal conditions, including tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, and wound healing.
Unlike traditional therapies, LLLT operates at a
low power that does not generate heat, making it safe and effective without causing damage to surrounding tissue. This innovative treatment accelerates healing and reduces pain through biochemical rather than thermal effects.
How Does Low Level Laser Therapy Work?
By targeting tissues with infrared light, the laser encourages repair in both acute and chronic conditions, helping the body recover faster and more effectively. Low Level Laser Therapy works by stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms in three distinct ways:
Common Causes of Musculoskeletal Pain and Injuries
Many patients seek Low Level Laser Therapy for relief from conditions caused by everyday activities or chronic
health issues.
Here are some common causes of the conditions we treat with LLLT:
Overuse & Repetitive Strain
Conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendonitis are often caused
by repetitive motions or overuse. These conditions commonly occur in people who participate in physical activities such as running, dancing,
or heavy lifting.
Improper Footwear
Wearing unsupportive shoes, especially in cases of Metatarsalgia or Hallux Valgus (bunions), can lead to
strain and discomfort in the feet and toes. This can exacerbate pre-existing conditions and cause pain that lasts for weeks or months.
Ageing & Degenerative Changes
As we age, arthritis and other degenerative joint conditions become more common. Joint pain, stiffness, and limited mobility are often the result of wear and tear on the joints, which LLLT can help alleviate by promoting tissue regeneration.
Trauma & Sports Injuries
Injuries sustained from sports, accidents, or falls can lead to soft tissue injuries, sprains, and strains. Low Level Laser Therapy is particularly effective in speeding up the recovery process for soft tissue injuries and reducing scarring.
Poor Posture & Body Mechanics
Improper posture or poor body mechanics can lead to musculoskeletal pain, including back, neck, and shoulder pain, and conditions like capsulitis or Morton’s Neuroma. LLLT can help address inflammation and promote healing in affected tissues.
Conditions Treated with Low Level Laser Therapy
Low Level Laser Therapy is highly effective for a variety of musculoskeletal problems, including:
-
Plantar Fasciitis & Plantar Calcaneal Bursitis (Policeman’s Heel)
-

-
Metatarsalgia, Morton’s Neuroma, Capsulitis, and Intermetatarsal Bursitis
-
Post-Operative Wound Care and Scarring
