What is Plantar Fasciitis, and how can laser therapy treat it?
Plantar fasciitis is a condition that causes heel pain. A person with this condition will find that the first step in the morning is similar to stepping on a tack. It is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot to support the arch. This inflammation may be caused by repetitive motion, overuse, or tight calf muscles. There are a few symptoms of plantar fasciitis to look out for before getting any treatment.
Heel Pain: This is the most common symptom of plantar fasciitis. If a person feels sharp, stabbing or aching in the morning, they must see a professional doctor. The pain may get worse after prolonged standing or any activity.
Stiffness in the heel: Plantar fascia can develop stiffness and tightness, particularly in the morning. This may make it impossible to flex your foot and hinder your movement.
Pain in the arch of your foot: Plantar fasciitis can cause pain that extends to the foot’s arch.
Pain that worsens with activity: Walking, running, jumping, and dancing are some activities that place a lot of stress on the plantar fascia and can worsen the pain.
Pain that improves with rest: Plantar fasciitis is often characterised by a dull, aching pain that goes away when one rests one’s foot.
Laser Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis
We at Dubai laser pain centre are concerned with giving the best treatment to our patients. We feel your pain; thus, by proper checkup, we suggest the best laser treatment. Laser treatment offers non-invasive and drug-free treatment to manage the plantar fasciitis. Our laser therapy class 4 and high-intensity work with advanced mechanisms, as
Photobiomodulation
When laser light hits the tissues in the plantar fascia, it induces a phenomenon called photobiomodulation. This process involves the conversion of light energy to chemical energy through the use of chromophores (light-absorbing molecules) in the cells. We make sure that our laser technology works on this mechanism.
Increased ATP Production
The absorbed light energy triggers the mitochondria to synthesize more ATP, the main currency of cellular energy. This additional energy is used in different cellular processes that are important for healing.
Reduced Inflammation
Our class 4 lasers help reduce inflammation. It also affects the production of inflammatory mediators. Laser therapy may help reduce inflammation and pain by decreasing the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines and enzymes.
Improved Tissue Repair
This results in an increase in the production of ATP and reduced inflammation, which is conducive to tissue repair. Laser therapy may help in the proliferation (increase in number) of the fibroblasts responsible for producing collagen, which is the major component of the connective tissues, such as the plantar fascia. It can also boost the function of growth factors that support wound repair.
Enhanced Blood Flow
Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels, another effect of laser therapy. This increased blood flow helps in circulation in the treated area, which is essential for the supply of nutrients and oxygen that are important in the healing process and the elimination of toxic wastes from the body cells.
