Class 4 laser is not painful but you may feel mild heat to the treated area.
This will vary from patient to patient , the podiatrist will provide further details based on your condition at the initial consultation.
Very few side effects have ever been reported. Occasionally some old injuries or pain syndromes may feel aggravated for a few days, as the healing response is more active after treatment.
There are thousands of published studies demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of Laser Therapy. Among these, there are more than one hundred rigorously controlled, scientific studies that document the effectiveness of laser for many clinical conditions.
The Class IV is at the heart of our treatment program. It provides a safe, effective, non-invasive, painless solution for heel pain, achilles tendon pain and injury.
It has been shown that shockwave is an effective option for treating chronic Achilles tendinopathy and heel pain.
Class 4 Laser Treatment refers to any laser light therapy emitting power in excess of one watt. The FDA has approved this form of laser therapy to reduce inflammation, reduce pain, and promote healing. This concentrated light energy stimulates the body’s natural healing process and increases blood flow for faster healing and natural pain relief. It also encourages the relaxation of muscles and reduces muscle spasms, reduces inflammation, and temporarily relieves stiffness in joints.
Every patient requires a individual treatment plan, however generally 6 sessions are required for fungus nails with class 4 laser treatment.
The largest double-blind study into the effectiveness of Shockwave Therapy was conducted by Gerdesmeyer in 2008. It conclusively proved this is a safe and effective treatment for recalcitrant (recalcitrant means not responding or simply being stubborn to heal) plantar fasciopathy (heel pain) and we subsequently have had NICE guidelines from 2009. The complex biomechanical nature of the foot can make it a difficult area to treat but the results are among the most successful of any Shockwave treatment.
Class 4 laser therapy is effective in treating verrucas because it triggers the body’s own healing process, helping it to beat the virus. It usually takes approximately 2-5 sessions to get rid of the verruca, however in some cases it can take more sessions.
