Hi. Sorry about my poor English. I've a persistent pain in heel [apparently bursitis]. I've done more than 30 laser treatment sessions. Start feeling better but not completely healed. I'm a runner. When I run it came back. Now my friends are telling me that laser is bad to health,and that I should stop it. However, doctor says there is no problem. Should I continue using that laser?


Posted by:  AbhinandanPargal(Guest)  Posted on: 12/20/2011
nope u should not continue... u just try stimulation... called as faradic foot bath.. this will really help u... and use extra heels...

It seems there is calcaneal spur.YOU go for homoeopathic treatment.It will go permanently without any side effect.

can we use ift nd swd along with mild traction for lumbar canal stenosis patients..??


Posted by:  Dimple1991(Guest)  Posted on: 02/19/2012
NO.. u can only use either IFT or SWD only one after traction.. bcause both IFT n SWD r giving the same treatment which is Wave.. so after traction just give IFt, SWD or ICE treatment if u dnt have the machine above..



Posted by:  doctor-Physio  Posted on: 02/29/2012
no traction in stenosis is recomended.swd n ift can be given
