Laser therapy delivers pain-relief and addresses the inflammation in arthritic conditions.

With Rheumatoid arthritis, laser therapy influences small joints directly and large joints indirectly. It strengthens the antiphlogistic processes and depresses the autoimmune response. The effects in the early stages of the condition can be impressive, but with chronic conditions, although pain is eased on treatment, longer treatment courses measured in months are necessary in order to make a substantive differences to the condition. It has been reported that 6 months can be a turning point. It also appears that adding laser therapy to prescribed medication gives improved results over medication alone.

With gout, attacks can be curtailed and the symptoms reduced. Laser therapy inhibits inflammation, eases pain, reduces swelling and joint tenderness.

In cases of osteoarthritis, laser therapy may slow down the degenerative process as well as ease acute symptoms. In the case of large joints such as the hip joint, the therapeutic effects of laser are brought on by an improvement and strengthening of the surrounding tissues. Laser therapy activates the microcirculation and the metabolism, prevents oedema and triggers anti-inflammatory processes in the synovial membrane.

Laser therapy is effective across a wide range of conditions and therefore used in a variety of health care and veterinary disciplines. There is consequently a large body of research to be found on the clinical effects of low level laser both in vitro and in vivo. This is spread across many fields and many nations, with work from Russia, Israel, Italy, Spain Japan, Denmark and Australia amongst others.

In the UK, a large volume of controlled research has been carried out in centres of excellence such as Guy's Hospital Tissue Repair Unit, Oxford University, Ulster University, Cambridge Military Hospitaland Northampton School of Podiatry.

It’s commonly used for:

1. Herniated or Bulging Discs: When a spinal disc pushes out of place and presses on a nerve.
2. Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related disc wear and tear that causes pain and stiffness.
3. Sciatica: Pain that radiates down the leg due to compression of the sciatic nerve.
4. Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses nerves.
5. Facet Joint Syndrome: Irritation of the joints connecting the vertebrae.
6. Chronic Lower Back or Neck Pain: Especially pain that hasn’t improved with rest, medication, or physical therapy.

Spinal decompression is usually done using a motorized traction table.

Step-by-step process:

    1. You lie on a specialized table.

    2. A harness is placed around your hips (for low back) or neck (for cervical spine).

    3. The machine gently stretches and relaxes the spine in cycles.

    4. This creates negative pressure inside the discs.

What that negative pressure does:

    • Pulls herniated or bulging disc material back inward

    • Reduces pressure on nerves

    • Improves blood flow and nutrient exchange to damaged discs

    • Helps promote healing

Think of it like creating a slight “vacuum effect” inside the disc.

Most people describe it as:

•     A gentle pulling sensation
• Relaxing rather than painful
• Sessions typically last 20–45 minutes
•  A treatment plan often involves multiple sessions over several weeks

Some people report significant relief, especially for disc-related nerve pain. However:

    • Research results are mixed

    • It tends to work best when combined with physical therapy and strengthening exercises

    • It may not help structural problems that require surgery

1. Urinary Incontinence (Most Common Use)

Especially:

    • Stress incontinence (leaking when coughing, laughing, exercising)

    • Urge incontinence (sudden strong urge to urinate)

    • Mild to moderate mixed incontinence

2. Postpartum Pelvic Floor Weakness

After pregnancy and childbirth.

3. Age-Related Pelvic Floor Weakness

Common in women over 40, but men can also benefit.

4. Erectile Dysfunction (in Men)

Some clinics use it to improve pelvic muscle strength that supports erections.

5. Post-Prostate Surgery Incontinence

Helps men regain bladder control.

The device generates focused electromagnetic energy that:

    1. Penetrates deep into pelvic muscles.

    2. Causes rapid involuntary contractions.

    3. Strengthens and re-educates weak muscles.

    4. Improves neuromuscular control.

One 28-minute session is often said to equal ~11,000 Kegel contractions.

Over several sessions (commonly 6–8 treatments):

    • Muscle tone improves

    • Bladder support increases

    • Leakage episodes often decrease

•     A tingling or tapping sensation
• Strong pelvic muscle tightening
• No pain for most people
• No downtime — you can resume normal activity immediately

It’s generally avoided in people with:

    • Metal implants in the pelvic area

    • Pacemakers or implanted defibrillators

    • Active pregnancy

    • Certain neurological conditions

Studies and clinical reports show:

• Many patients see noticeable improvement after a full treatment series
• Results vary
• Maintenance sessions are sometimes needed

It works best for mild to moderate symptoms. Severe pelvic organ prolapse or advanced incontinence may require other treatments.

Gait analysis studies:

• How your foot strikes the ground (heel, midfoot, forefoot)

    • Pronation or supination (how much your foot rolls inward/outward)

    • Step length and symmetry

    • Hip, knee, and ankle alignment

    • Weight distribution during movement

Tools Used:

    • Video analysis (sometimes slow-motion)

    • Pressure plates or treadmill sensors

    • Motion capture systems

    • Clinical orthopedic tests

 A foot scan captures the shape and pressure pattern of your feet.

Types of Scans:

    1. Static scan – Standing still to see arch height and pressure points.

    2. Dynamic scan – Walking across a pressure plate to measure force and balance.

    3. 3D digital scan – Creates a detailed model of your foot for orthotic design.

The scan shows:

    • Arch type (low, normal, high)

    • Pressure hotspots

    • Asymmetries between left and right foot

    • Areas prone to overuse injuries

    • Plantar fasciitis

    • Flat feet (pes planus)

    • High arches (pes cavus)

    • Overpronation / oversupination

    • Heel pain

    • Shin splints

    • Knee, hip, or lower back pain related to foot mechanics

    • Diabetic pressure risk areas

Once your gait and scan data are collected, custom orthotics are designed to correct or support your biomechanics.

Step-by-Step Process:

    1. Data Collection

Foot scan + gait analysis + clinical exam.

    2. Prescription Design

Clinician determines:

        ◦ Arch support level

        ◦ Heel posting (tilt correction)

        ◦ Cushioning material

        ◦ Rigidity vs flexibility

        ◦ Shock absorption needs

    3. Digital Modeling

Software adjusts the 3D foot model to correct alignment.

    4. Manufacturing

        ◦ 3D printing

        ◦ CNC milling

        ◦ Layered foam/composite molding

    5. Fitting Appointment

Orthotics are adjusted for comfort and shoe fit.

They can:

    • Redistribute pressure

    • Reduce excessive pronation

    • Improve alignment of ankle, knee, and hip

    • Decrease strain on plantar fascia

    • Improve shock absorption

    • Reduce fatigue during standing or walking

They do not permanently “fix” foot structure, but they support better mechanics while worn.

    • Runners or athletes

    • People who stand all day

    • Chronic heel or arch pain sufferers

    • Flat feet with knee or back pain

    • Diabetics needing pressure offloading

    • Post-injury rehabilitation patients

Custom orthotics are different from:

    • Over-the-counter inserts (generic support)

    • Shoe store pressure scans (screening, not medical evaluation)

Medical-grade orthotics are prescribed based on clinical findings, not just arch shape.

Shockwave therapy (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, ESWT) is a non-surgical treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues.

It’s most commonly used for chronic tendon and soft-tissue conditions, especially when pain has lasted more than a few months and hasn’t improved with rest, physical therapy, or medication.

LLLT uses specific wavelengths of red or near-infrared light that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by cells. This can:

    • Increase cellular energy (ATP production)

    • Improve blood flow

    • Reduce inflammation

    • Accelerate tissue repair

    • Decrease pain signals

The light stimulates mitochondria (the “energy factories” of cells), helping damaged tissue heal more efficiently.

LLLT is used for:

    • Tendonitis and ligament injuries

    • Neck and back pain

    • Arthritis

    • Muscle strains

    • Nerve pain

    • Wound healing

    • Sports injuries

    • TMJ pain

    • Hair loss (in specific FDA-cleared devices)
