Laser Therapy in the medical field is a form of treatment that uses high-energy laser light to stimulate tissue healing, reduce pain and inflammation, and promote recovery.
The high-energy laser Bonciani Laser (Bonciani Method) is a high-power laser that utilizes the benefits of defocused light. By mixing the various available wavelengths, emission mode, exposure time (and therefore the Joules administered), and power, it allows for the definition of the effects of the method itself: J=W x s.
By combining medical therapy and podiatric therapy, excellent results can be achieved in a short amount of time.
The collaboration between the Medical Doctor and the Podiatrist creates a direct and synergistic relationship between the two medical professionals, offering specificity and quality of treatment for foot disorders.
The doctor evaluates and diagnoses the problem, the podiatrist processes it, and then they proceed by developing a therapeutic plan, combining mechanical adjustments such as those from orthotic insoles with laser therapy aimed at anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and biostimulatory purposes.
Foot disorders are often related to overload, overuse, postural and functional imbalances, which is why collaboration and continuous interaction between the two specialists is essential: the podiatrist must accurately identify the type of issue by performing both static and dynamic evaluations of the foot, searching for any functional deficits to potentially correct with orthotic therapy or targeted therapeutic exercises.
Generally, when dealing with tendinitis and peritendinitis (e.g., posterior tendon, peroneal tendon, Achilles tendon, common extensor tendon, anterior tibial tendon), an anti-inflammatory approach is used; however, when addressing issues like tendinosis, fasciosis, and Ledderhose nodules (e.g., Achilles tendinosis, posterior tendon tendinosis, plantar fasciosis), a biostimulatory action is also applied.
For conditions such as heel pain, Haglund's deformity, spurs, and calcifications, we use a mixed therapeutic protocol combining anti-inflammatory and biostimulatory actions.
