EMS High Power Laser Therapy

At Active Step, our team uses High Power Laser to reduce pain without the need for anti-inflammatories and pain relieving medication and to accelerate our patients’ journey from getting back from injury to doing what they love.

High Power Laser Therapy

High Power Laser Therapy is a safe and effective treatment used to treat; superficial and deep injuries, manage painful symptoms and reduce swelling and inflammation in the joints and muscles.

Our clinical team use it to successfully treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions not limited to:

  • Heel pain e.g. plantar fasciitis
  • Tendon Injuries e.g. Achilles tendinitis/tendinopathy
  • Muscular aches and pains e.g. Calf strain, pulled hamstring
  • Ankle injuries
  • Osteoarthritis and joint pains in the shoulder, back, hips, knees, ankle, hands and feet
  • Post surgical swelling following hip and knee joint replacements, foot surgery
 

High Power Laser administers a 905nm wavelength for immediate pain relief, decreases acute inflammation and accelerates tissue repair. It’s 15 times more powerful than conventional low power lasers, reaching deep into the tissues. It also has a short pulse duration of 100ns to keep the treated area below the thermal threshold which avoids risk of burns to our patients.

If you are suffering from pain or injury then book a consultation with one of our expert clinicians who can diagnose your issue and get you back to pain-free living.

We got a same day appointment. Mike had fungal nail infection, an open wound and painful Athlete’s foot. These were all greatly improved after the initial visit. It felt quite miraculous! Not cheap but well worth the money.

I went to Active Step after trying over the counter products as well as other podiatrists for years while my condition was getting worse instead of better. The service I got at Active Step couldn't have been any better and I've just been discharged successfully after 12 months of treatment. Jim, Zoe, Sophie and the rest of the team are not only highly professional, but also very personable and I cannot recommend them enough.
