I did try a laser therapy machine, one that my podiatrist was trying out and I absolutely hated it. I did 3 treatments and it caused me to flare up very badly.

What is the machine is it you are thinking of trying?

The one I tried was an Infrared laser. My podiatrist sent it back to the manufacture because most people didn't find it beneficial.

There seems to be a lot of hype around laser machines for pain and I would be cautious about trying any other type of treatment on my affected foot after my last experience.


Gentle hugs.

Hi MsL,
Thank you for your reply. Sorry you had such a bad experience with the Infrared laser.
The ones I am thinking about is LiteCure which is Class IV and Thor which is Class 3. Both are Cold lasers. Info on both can be found on the internet. Putting laser therapy in Google brings up a lot of different ones.
