PODIATRIST USES MLS LASER POST OP TO REDUCE EDEMA AND PAIN

According to John Sigle, DPM, founder of the Foot & Ankle Center of Illinois and Illinois Laser Center, many NFL, NBA, MLB and college teams use laser treatments to help injured players. “We have had this technology in our clinic for nine years and the results have been impressive,” Dr. Sigle explained.  [Approximately] 80-90% of the laser patients get major relief from pain and improved mobility. We are fortunate to be able to offer patients an alternative to injections or other invasive treatment when traditional modalities are not producing relief.

“Whenever possible, we also use the MLS laser for all surgical patients to reduce swelling and pain and to speed up healing,” he added. “Most surgical patients recover better and are able to and return to work faster if they have laser therapy.”
