High Technology Low Pain Techniques: I am now pleased to offer electrical stimulation therapy and infra-red light therapy. These are two painless physical therapy modalities which are excellent for relieving pain. Research suggests that light therapy is effective in treating pain associated with tarsal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, wounds, post-surgical pain, and inflammation. While only recently cleared by the FDA for use in the United States, light therapy has been used extensively throughout the world for more than 20 years. Also known as cold laser or phototherapy, light therapy is backed by extensive research with over 500 published studies covering a wide range of conditions. Treatments are fast and easy to apply. With treatment times generally less than five minutes, light therapy is a perfect complement to traditional soft tissue treatments. Preferably, treatments are administered 2-3 times per week for optimal results. Laser Technology: I was the first in Frederick to offer the flash lamp pulsed due laser. This is one-of-a-kind laser technology which successfully removes most warts. This is a relatively painless procedure, and most patients require no anesthetic whatsoever and are able to return to normal activities almost immediately. With more satisfactory results that the carbon dioxide laser, this laser leaves very little scarring which may accompany other treatments.
