Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, becomes inflamed. It is a common condition, affecting up to 10% of the population. It is most common in middle-aged adults and people who are overweight or have flat feet. Plantar fasciitis can be treated with various methods, including stretching exercises, night splints, and shoe inserts.
In some cases, however, these treatments are not effective. When this occurs, laser therapy may be an option. Laser therapy involves using a high-powered beam of light to stimulate tissue healing. It is a painless, non-invasive treatment effective in treating plantar fasciitis. If you are considering laser therapy for plantar fasciitis, you must consult a doctor or certified therapist to ensure that it is the proper treatment for you.
