Class IV Laser Therapy: Advanced Relief for Foot and Ankle Pain


When it comes to pain relief and healing, we know people want results without relying on medications or undergoing invasive treatments. At Perform Podiatry, we are proud to offer Class IV Laser Therapy—a safe, scientifically-backed treatment that helps your body heal faster and feel better, naturally.

Whether you're dealing with stubborn heel pain, a sports injury, or post-surgery soreness, laser therapy could be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.

What Is Class IV Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy works by using focused light energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes at a cellular level.

Our Class IV laser delivers dual wavelengths:

  • Deep-penetrating high-level laser energy to reduce inflammation and pain.
  • Superficial low-level laser energy to repair and regenerate tissue.

Together, they work like a supercharger for your cell's mitochondria (aka your cells’ energy factories), boosting ATP production—the fuel your body needs to recover.

What Are the Benefits?

This therapy isn’t just high-tech, it gets real results. Patients often report:

✔️ Rapid pain relief—without relying on medication

✔️ Reduced swelling and inflammation

✔️ Faster tissue healing and recovery

✔️ Improved movement and function

✔️ Completely non-invasive and drug-free care

Conditions We Treat with Laser Therapy

Laser therapy has been clinically proven to help with a wide range of foot and ankle issues, including:

  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Morton’s neuroma
  • Osteoarthritis and joint pain
  • Sports-related injuries
  • Nerve pain (like peripheral neuropathy)
  • Post-surgical healing support

What to Expect During a Session

  • Quick – Most sessions take just 5–15 minutes
  • Comfortable – No pain, just a gentle warmth on the skin
  • No downtime – You can return to your normal activities right after

 Is It Safe?

Yes! Our Class IV laser is FDA-cleared and used by leading health professionals worldwide, including in sports medicine, physiotherapy, and even veterinary care. It’s non-invasive, clinically researched, and safe for most people.

Who Should Avoid Laser Therapy?

While it’s safe for the majority of patients, laser therapy may not be suitable if you:

  • Are pregnant
  • To have active cancer or tumors in the area being treated
  • Are sensitive to light or taking photosensitive medications
  • Have active bleeding or untreated wounds in the treatment area
  • Have had a steroid injection in the area within the past 24–48 hours
  • Are wearing a pacemaker or electronic implant near the site

We explain the differences between walking and running shoes and how to determine which one is best for your feet.
