Swift Microwave Therapy: A Revolutionary Approach to Verruca Treatment

you have tried the rest now try the best !

before and after of verruca treatment using swift microwave therapy, the verrucas have all resolved.

Verrucas, also known as plantar warts, are small, hard growths that appear on the soles of the feet. They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be incredibly stubborn to treat. Traditional treatments such as freezing (cryotherapy), acid applications, and even surgical removal often prove to be ineffective, leading to ongoing frustration for patients. However, there is a new innovative treatment method that shows promise in successfully eliminating verrucas: Swift Microwave Therapy.

Swift Microwave Therapy is a non-invasive and efficient treatment option for verruca removal. It utilises microwave energy to precisely target and destroy the infected tissue, without causing damage to the surrounding healthy skin. This method introduces controlled heat energy into the verruca, triggering an immune response that helps the body fight off the infection more effectively.

One of the most notable advantages of Swift Microwave Therapy is the speed at which it produces results. Unlike conventional treatments that require frequent and sometimes painful sessions over several weeks or months, Swift typically provides complete clearance in just three to four treatments, each lasting only a few seconds. This makes it an ideal option for individuals who can't afford to take time off work or who desire swift resolution of their verrucas.

Another significant benefit of Swift Microwave Therapy is its minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Unlike cryotherapy and acid applications that can be painful, Swift only generates a mild warming sensation during treatment. Additionally, there is no need for local anesthesia or wound dressings since the procedure does not result in any open wounds. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after each session, without any restrictions or significant inconvenience.

Swift Microwave Therapy is also a safe treatment option. Extensive clinical trials have shown that it is highly effective in treating verrucas and carries a low risk of complications. Unlike some surgical methods, there is no potential for scarring, infection, or nerve damage. This makes it an appealing option for individuals who are wary of invasive treatments or concerned about potential side effects.

As with any medical procedure, it is essential to consult with our qualified podiatrsits before starting Swift Microwave Therapy. We will assess the severity and suitability of your condition, and guide you through the treatment process. While the effectiveness of Swift Microwave Therapy is well-documented, some individuals may require additional treatments or may not be suitable candidates due to underlying health conditions.

In conclusion, Swift Microwave Therapy represents a significant breakthrough in the treatment of verrucas. With its quick and efficient results, minimal discomfort, and significant safety advantages, it has rapidly gained popularity among patients and healthcare professionals alike. If you have been struggling with verrucas and are looking for a more effective and hassle-free solution, consider exploring Swift Microwave Therapy as a viable treatment option. Contact us today to start your Swift Treatment and say good bye to your painful stubborn verrucas.

Neuropathy

 How do I get rid of numbness in my feet?  

Many people suffer from numbness in their feet and legs as a result of nerve damage. This uncomfortable problem is known as ‘neuropathy’ and is often referred to as ‘peripheral neuropathy’ when it affects the hands and feet. 

Symptoms are often numbness and/or tingling in the affected areas but may also include burning and sharp or shooting pains. Problems with balance, muscle weakness and co-ordination can also cause issues because of the way the nerves are affected.

Painful Foot

The causes of neuropathy can range from metabolic issues, medication, traumatic injury and hereditary conditions to vitamin deficiencies. Diabetes is one of the most common causes of neuropathy in the patients we see in clinic. 

If you suffer from this condition, the question on your lips is most likely, “how do I get rid of numbness in my feet (or hands or whichever part is affected)?”. We are here to help. 

Treating peripheral neuropathy can be tricky but there are things we can do to. Firstly, it is important to know what is causing your symptoms. This means we need to do a thorough assessment and ask lots of questions to understand what is going on and why. It may involve referring you for a blood test if we think there may be something systemic going on which needs to be identified. We will also test your circulation, sensation awareness (this won’t hurt!) and muscle strength to help us to understand better which specific parts are affected and to what extent. 

The treatment you get will really depend on the cause of the problem and may involve trying to balance blood sugars in the case of diabetes, getting supplements or injections to address vitamin deficiencies or drugs to treat systemic causes of neuropathy. You can find more information on the NHS website here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/peripheral-neuropathy/treatment/

In our clinic we have an MLS® laser which can be a great, non-invasive, non drug option to help us treat neuropathic symptoms. We can use our laser to stimulate sensation where there is numbness or to calm nerves down where there is pain. We can tailor our treatment to your own needs. It’s painless and could help you to feel better. We can use this alongside other treatment interventions where appropriate – we will discuss this with you and your doctor if necessary.

Laser therapy is a treatment option that may help reduce neuropathic pain. It is a painless, medication-free, noninvasive treatment. During laser therapy, different wavelengths of light are applied to an area of the body in order to promote tissue repair and reduce pain

Class IV therapeutic laser here in Kettering.

What is MLS Laser Therapy? 

MLS Laser therapy is a completely safenon-invasive and painless method of managing acute or chronic pain and inflammation including in the cases of arthritis or injury. The laser supplies light energy directly to your cells which encourages your body’s own healing process and reduces pain.

How Does it Work? 

The MLS laser delivers two wavelengths, 808nm and 905nm in a synchronised manner. Because the stronger 905nm wavelength is nanopulsed (this means it pulses on and off rapidly), any risk of thermal damage to your tissue is removed and the laser is completely safe to use. The 808nm wavelength targets tissue repair and regeneration and the 905nm wavelength has an analgesic effect and targets pain and inflammation. 

The laser works to create vasodilation (expansion of the blood vessels) in the area it is treating. This leads to an increase in oxygen, healing cells and anti-inflammatory proteins as well as a ‘wash out’ effect which helps to clear waste products and pro-inflammatory molecules. Laser therapy also reduces the speed of the transmissions of pain messages in the nerves and helps muscles to relax. Finally, laser can help to reduce swelling by flushing out and pushing through any fluid accumulations. 

How Many Treatments Will I need?

Laser treatment is cumulative which means each treatment builds upon the effects of the last. For this reason we try and see you as regularly as possible to maintain and increase the effects from each treatment. The number of treatments required varies because every body is different however depending on the condition and your body’s response you may need between 2-15 sessions. Generally, we work on an initial course of 6 sessions carried out at 2 sessions per week. Acute conditions may need fewer treatments with chronic issues potentially requiring more. Please attend each session as recommended by your podiatrsit so you can obtain optimal effect from your laser treatment. 

What Can I Expect? 

After an initial assessment to diagnose your issue and develop a treatment plan, we will begin your course of laser therapy. Your podiatrist will decide the appropriate settings for your condition and then the laser will be placed on or directed over the area of pain or injury. Once the laser is started you will most likely only be aware of the feeling of the wand moving across your skin or in the case of laser which is not in contact with your body, you may not feel anything. This can be strange as we expect to feel something (often pain!) as a method of healing. Trust us, the laser works without causing you any discomfort at all. 

Your treatment will be usually be anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes long (or even a little longer) depending on your issue and the treatment protocol required. 

Are There Any Side Effects?

Very occasionally a body will ‘over react’ to the laser treatment and will experience a temporary increase in inflammation, usually lasting 24-48 hours. This is rare however if it does happen, please don’t worry. It’s just the way your body has responded to the treatment which indicates that the treatment has caused cellular changes and a process is underway in your area of pain. You will most likely feel better after this rebound response than you did before. If this happens, please tell your clinician and they will reduce the settings on the machine for your next treatment. 

How Quickly Will It Work?

We often see results after 1-3 sessions. Remember that laser us cumulative and you’re most likely to see results as you go through your course of treatment. It’s also really important that you stick to any other elements of your treatment plan such as exercises, taping or activity modification etc to allow for the best results possible. 

Your Appointment

Please arrive promptly so we can make the most of our treatment time with you. It may be helpful for you to bring shorts or wear loose fitting clothing which can be rolled up or moved out of the way (eg shorts or skirt etc). We may need to treat a larger area than just the immediate point of pain so this is helpful for us and may be more comfortable for you. We expect your treatment to last for approximately 20-30 minutes we are proud to have this amazing technology in kettering and cannot wait to help you get pain free.

We look forward to getting underway with your laser treatments here at Next Step Podiatry.
