Here’s a quick question: if you could heal your foot or ankle injury faster, with less pain—and without pills—wouldn’t you want to?

Laser therapy does just that. And no, it’s not science fiction. It’s science-backed. And at Peak Podiatry in Galway, we use it every day to help people move better, feel better, and heal smarter.

If you’re struggling with a stubborn foot injury, ankle sprain, or ongoing pain, here’s what you need to know.

What Is Laser Therapy, Anyway?

Laser therapy—also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation—uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate your body’s natural healing response.

The laser doesn’t cut, burn, or hurt. It simply energises your cells—especially the ones involved in reducing inflammation and repairing damaged tissue. Think of it like charging a battery, but for your body’s healing systems.

Who’s It For?

If you’ve ever had one of these, laser therapy could help:

• Plantar fasciitis

• Achilles tendonitis

• Ankle sprains

• Post-surgical recovery

• Heel pain

• Sports injuries

• Nerve pain (like burning or tingling in your feet)

It’s a go-to for athletes, but also great for anyone tired of limping through their day.

Why It Works (and Why It’s Fast)

Injured tissues are inflamed, stiff, and often starved of oxygen. Laser therapy works by:

• Reducing inflammation – less swelling = less pain.

• Increasing blood flow – more nutrients reach the injury.

• Speeding up cell repair – damaged tissues heal faster.

• Stimulating nerve regeneration – great for chronic pain or nerve injuries.

Most people notice improvements after just a few sessions. And while it’s not magic—it feels pretty close when you go from hobbling to walking freely again.

Is It Safe?

Absolutely. Laser therapy is non-invasive, drug-free, and approved for use in clinical settings. There’s no downtime. No side effects. Just targeted treatment that fits into your routine—often in under 20 minutes.
