Plantar Fasciitis (Fascitis)::
Permanent Solution Using the Avicenna High Power Laser
What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis develops because of repeated small tears to the flat band of ligamentous tissue that connects your heel to the bones of your toes. These tears weaken the arch that supports the foot. As the arch of the foot weakens, increasing strain is placed on the deeper ligaments and tendons of the foot and lower leg. Over time, Plantar Fasciitis can result in Chronic Pain, Heel Spurs and Degenerative Joint Disease (Arthritis).
Standard Medical Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis
Physicians typically treat Plantar Fasciitis with anti-inflammatories. These medications temporarily reduce the pain associated with Plantar Fasciitis but do not treat the cause of the problem.
The Solution: HEAL the Plantar Fasciitis with Laser Therapy
Permanent correction of Plantar Fasciitis requires two procedures.
1. Heal the Damaged Fascia
Ending the pain caused by Plantar Fasciitis requires stopping the cycle of inflammation. This is critical because chronically inflamed tissues block the flow of needed nutrients and oxygen to surrounding muscles and joints. Deprived of these building blocks, healthy tissue deteriorates and the inflammation spreads. More importantly, spreading inflammation chokes off blood flow to the nerves. The revolutionary Avicenna Laser establishes and promotes the permanent solution to inflammation by bypassing the blood stream and delivering bio-available infrared high power laser energy directly into the injured cells. This “focused” energy is then used by the cells to repair themselves. As the tissue heals, the inflammation subsides and oxygenated nutrient-rich blood flow is re-established.
2. Correct the Foot and Gait Mechanics
This involves stabilizing the arch. Stabilization is achieved by utilizing shoe inserts called Orthotics and implementing a simple series of specific strengthening and stretching exercises. Our office can supply you with expertly crafted inexpensive orthotics and teach you how to recondition the foot and lower leg.
High Power Laser Therapy: How Does it Work?
Research biologists describe the healing process in the following way.
1. Reduced blood flow deprives human tissue of oxygen and glucose.
2. The powerhouse of the cell (the mitochondria) needs this oxygen and glucose to manufacture energy (ATP.)
Without ATP (adenosine triphosphate) the cell cannot function (e.g. a muscle cell cannot contract or relax) and it cannot repair components of the cell that have been damaged.
Simply stated,
NO OXYGEN + NO GLUCOSE ⇒ NO ENERGY ⇒ NO HEALING.
The Solution
Laser therapy bypasses the blood stream and delivers laser energy to light receptors (photoreceptors) within the mitochondria. The mitochondria accepts this energy and uses it to create ATP, which the cell can use to power the healing process.
LASER STIMULATION OF MITOCHONDRIA ⇒ ENERGY PRODUCTION (ATP) ⇒ HEALING
Treatment with the Avicenna Laser is pain-free. The patient experiences only a gentle warming spa-like sensation over the surface of the skin.
