Laser Treatments
Although laser therapy is relatively new to medicine, Dr. Wright adopted the technology because he has seen the benefits in his patients. Especially for those who want to avoid surgery, laser therapy can be a conservative yet highly effective alternative.
Laser therapy has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, which means less swelling and pain and improved movement. It is beneficial for healing wounds such as foot ulcers, sores, and diabetes-related foot problems. Lasers are also great for treating nerve pain and discolored toenails.
Receiving a laser treatment is painless. The technician or doctor shines a gentle laser light on the treatment area for a few minutes. A specific wavelength of light is used to accelerate tissue repair and cell growth and improve circulation. All the work is done under the skin at the cellular level. The results from this unique, non-invasive treatment will amaze you! Even after one treatment, patients can tell it’s working.
Utah Foot and Ankle has a variety of lasers available for different types of problems, including the MLS Laser, HyperBlue Laser, and the Tenex FAST procedure.
