Preparing for Your First Laser Therapy Session:
What to Expect

Undergoing laser therapy for the first time can be a new experience for many patients. Knowing what to expect can help alleviate any concerns and prepare you for a successful treatment session. Here's what you need to know before your first laser therapy appointment for plantar fasciitis:

• Consultation: Your session will likely begin with a consultation to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. This ensures the therapy is tailored to your specific needs.
• Treatment Plan: The practitioner will outline a treatment plan, including the number of sessions required to achieve optimal results.
• During the Session: You will be asked to relax in a comfortable position while the laser is applied to the affected area. The process is painless, and you may feel a gentle, warming sensation.
• Duration: Each session typically lasts between 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the severity of your condition.
• Post-Session Care: Following the session, you may be given specific instructions to maximize the benefits of the treatment, such as stretching exercises or recommendations for footwear.

Understanding the process and what to expect can help you feel more comfortable and confident as you begin laser therapy for plantar fasciitis, setting the stage for a positive treatment experience.
