Method: Pain score was assessed on numerical analogue scale. 4 sessions of LASER were given to all acute and chronic foot and ankle conditions. Physical therapy exercises were also advised wherever indicated.
Results: Pain scores showed improvement after 4 sessions of LASER (p value less than 0.05).
Conclusion: LASER can be used in common ankle and foot conditions to reduce pain and improve tissue healing.
