REMY Laser Therapy in Michigan — FDA-Cleared Treatment for Chronic Foot Pain

Break Free From Chronic Foot Pain — Without Surgery or Drugs

If you’ve been living with chronic foot pain for months and nothing has worked, REMY laser therapy could be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. It’s FDA-cleared, completely painless, and available right here in Michigan at Balance Foot & Ankle in Howell and Bloomfield Township. Book online or call (810) 206-1402.

What Is REMY Laser Therapy?

REMY is the class IV therapeutic laser we use — a dual-wavelength laser therapy system that simultaneously delivers 810 nm and 980 nm laser energy into damaged tissue. The two wavelengths work synergistically: the 810 nm wavelength reduces inflammation and promotes cellular repair, while the 980 nm wavelength provides analgesic (pain-reducing) effects and deeper tissue penetration. This combination produces results that neither wavelength achieves alone, and it’s why the REMY system is considered among the most clinically effective laser therapy platforms available.

How REMY Laser Heals at the Cellular Level

Laser energy at these wavelengths interacts with cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria — triggering increased ATP (energy) production in damaged cells. This accelerates the cell’s repair cycle dramatically. Simultaneously, the laser reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines, promotes neovascularization (new blood vessel growth into damaged tissue), and stimulates collagen synthesis. The net effect: faster healing, reduced inflammation, and meaningful pain reduction — without medication or surgery.

Conditions REMY Laser Treats

Plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain, Achilles tendonitis and tendinosis, peripheral neuropathy pain, diabetic foot wound healing acceleration, post-surgical tissue repair, ankle sprains with persistent inflammation, arthritic joint pain in the foot and ankle, Morton’s neuroma pain, soft tissue sports injuries, and chronic tendon disorders that haven’t responded to conventional treatment.

What a Session Feels Like

Nothing. Seriously — REMY laser therapy is completely painless. Most patients feel a gentle warmth at the treatment site. Sessions take 10-15 minutes. You can drive yourself, walk out of the office, and return to your normal activities immediately. No anesthesia, no medication, no recovery period. We typically recommend 6-10 sessions for optimal results, with sessions 2-3 times per week initially.

Who Is the Best Candidate for REMY Laser?

Patients who haven’t responded to rest, ice, NSAIDs, or cortisone. Patients who want to avoid surgery. Patients who cannot take anti-inflammatory medications (kidney issues, GI sensitivity, blood thinner interactions). Diabetic patients with wounds that are healing slowly. Athletes needing faster return to sport. Post-surgical patients wanting to accelerate tissue repair.

REMY Laser Therapy at Balance Foot & Ankle: Michigan’s Podiatric Laser Treatment Center

REMY class IV laser therapy at Balance Foot & Ankle uses the combination of two therapeutic wavelengths — 810 nm wave for anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, and 980 nm wave for tissue repair and edema reduction — to treat foot and ankle pain without injections, medications, or surgery. Unlike single-wavelength cold lasers, the REMY system’s dual wavelengths produce synergistic therapeutic effects that are clinically superior to either wavelength used alone. The treatment is painless — most patients feel mild warmth during the 8–12 minute session — and requires no recovery time afterward. Patients can return to normal activities immediately after each treatment.

We offer REMY laser at both our Howell and Bloomfield Township Michigan locations.
