"My name is James Walker, and I live here in Lee's Summit. I was looking for a podiatrist to kind of take care of some of the foot pain that I've had kind of a nagging pain for quite some time and really couldn't get much relief as far as foot soaking in ice, and a few of those things brought little relief. I got to a point where it just really wasn't improving much anymore, and just by chance, I gave the office [of Joel Foster] a call here.
With the first treatment of laser therapy, I didn't really know what to expect,. To be honest, I wasn't expecting a whole lot because all the things that I had tried in the past weren't very successful, but I wanted to give this a shot. Being a newer technology, something that I haven't heard much about, Dr Foster and the staff helped me through it. My favorite part about the laser therapy was the fact that there weren't any ill side effects. The worst that could've happened is maybe you just don't get the results, and then you could try something different, but as far as side effects or something negative, it was just non-existent.
I thought this was a wonderful option, starting with the first therapy. After I left a very short, quick therapy, it was an immediate change for me. It almost felt as if it were my foot had been iced from the inside if that makes sense, and this lasted between 20 and 30 minutes. Even after the first one, that portion for that 20-30 minutes I felt complete relief, which I hadn't had for a long time. Of course, that faded a bit as far as the complete relief, but I could tell something was changing versus just doing the same thing over and over and getting a little relief from the ice and then nothing. There were small changes and improvements even from the very beginning, and I'd say by the third treatment, I could tell for sure that this was something that was making a difference. Give it a shot if you've tried all other things, as it's a really good option."
