Low Level Laser Therapy in London for Pain Relief & Healing (Sydenham, Croydon, Covent Garden)

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)
• Achilles Tendonitis
  
• Metatarsalgia, Morton’s Neuroma, Capsulitis, and Intermetatarsal Bursitis
• Post-Operative Wound Care and Scarring
• Soft Tissue Injuries
• Hallux Valgus (Bunion Pain)

Whether you’re dealing with a new injury or a chronic condition, LLLT can help reduce pain and accelerate the healing process. Improvements are typically noticeable after 3-4 sessions, with more significant relief after a complete treatment course.
