Plantar Fasciitis is a frustrating and debilitating injury of the plantar fascia – the strong, connective tissue, made up of collagen fibres, that runs along the bottom of the foot connecting the heel to the base of the toes. It causes pain, tenderness and sometimes swelling in the heel and heel borders of the foot, typically after periods of sleep or rest only to worsen with increased activity again. If a heel spur forms this is not the cause of the pain; the pain is due to micro-trauma and small tears to the soft tissue.
Plantar Fasciitis can be successfully treated with LLLT improving pain and restoring function. LLLT is a complete therapy for a multitude of causes of Plantar Fasciitis that all have a common cause of inflammation resulting from:

GP, Dr Shikha Parmar, has a special interest in providing a drug-free safe, effective treatment solution in Melbourne for Tendonitis using low level laser light therapy also termed Photobiomodulation or PBM Therapy.
PBM Therapy appears too good to be true as it does many things, but really it does just one thing and it does it very well and that is, it reduces oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress is accepted as the underlying trigger for most diseases and degenerative conditions. It is also a component in the inflammatory phase of Tendonitis.
Unlike drugs and surgery, PBM Therapy
Over 400 Randomised Controlled Trials have been published using PBM Therapy devices, and the technology has featured in over 4,000 laboratory studies. PBM Therapy is used in thousands of clinics, hospitals and elite sports institutions in over 70 nations.
Low Level Laser Therapy uses red and near infrared light energy over injuries to stimulate cellular repair. LLLT has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect as well as a healing effect on the inflamed. LLLT is completely safe and has no effect on normal tissues. LLLT treats the underlying cause of the injury unlike pain medication which just masks the pain. Ligaments and tissues grow stronger than with unaided healing offering effective, long-term relief from aches and pains.
Users include British and US military, premier division soccer teams, Olympic teams, Formula 1, rugby and cricket team therapists as well as specialist pain clinics in the UK and USA.
By improving circulation and increasing cellular repair functions LLLT provides an environment for your body’s own natural healing processes to be activated and restored. Once normal immune processes are restored, the excessive inflammation is reduced and healing can begin.
Rest, activity modification, heat application and sometimes support splints assist in the healing process. As tissue repair proceeds graduated exercise is introduced to ensure new tissue growth is encouraged to be laid down in the correct orientation.
The end result is resolution of inflammation and restoration of healthy soft tissues. Once tissues are healed, pain is eliminated and normal range of motion and function is restored
