Foot pain typically responds to early podiatrist evaluation, conservative treatments like supportive footwear and targeted stretching, and—when needed—custom orthotics. Most patients see improvement within 4-6 weeks of starting a treatment plan. Severe or persistent symptoms warrant in-person assessment to rule out structural issues. Contact our Howell or Bloomfield Township office for a same-week evaluation.

Key takeaway: REMY Laser Therapy uses dual-wavelength technology to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue repair simultaneously. It is FDA-cleared, completely painless, and requires zero downtime — most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
How REMY Laser Therapy Works: The Dual-Wavelength Advantage
What sets REMY class IV laser therapy apart from other laser treatments is its dual-wavelength delivery system. The device simultaneously emits two therapeutic wavelengths — 810 nm and 980 nm — that work together to address both pain and inflammation at the cellular level.
The 810 nm wavelength penetrates deep into tissue to provide an anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effect, reducing swelling and improving circulation in the treatment area. Meanwhile, the 980 nm wavelength delivers a powerful analgesic effect by interfering with pain signal transmission along nerve fibers. When these wavelengths are delivered together, the therapeutic effect is significantly greater than either wavelength alone — this is the principle that gives REMY its name and its clinical advantage.
At the cellular level, the laser energy is absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria, stimulating increased ATP production — the energy currency your cells need for repair. This process, known as photobiomodulation, essentially recharges damaged cells and accelerates the body’s natural healing process. The result is faster tissue repair, reduced inflammation, and significant pain relief without medication or surgery.
Conditions We Treat with REMY Laser
At our Howell and Bloomfield Township offices, Dr. Tom uses REMY laser therapy for a wide spectrum of foot and ankle conditions. The most common applications include plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain, Achilles tendinitis and tendinopathy, peripheral neuropathy pain and nerve regeneration, ankle sprains and ligament injuries, post-surgical healing acceleration, and toenail fungus (as adjunctive therapy).
REMY laser therapy pairs exceptionally well with EPAT shockwave therapy for stubborn chronic conditions. While EPAT stimulates a mechanical healing response through acoustic waves, REMY laser enhances the biological healing response through photobiomodulation. Many of our patients with chronic plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinitis benefit from combining both modalities for maximum results. We also frequently combine laser therapy with custom 3D orthotics to address both the symptoms and the underlying biomechanical cause.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each REMY laser session takes approximately 10-15 minutes. You will sit comfortably while the laser applicator is positioned over the treatment area. Most patients feel a gentle warmth — the treatment is completely painless. There are no needles, no incisions, and no anesthesia required.
A typical treatment protocol involves 6-12 sessions scheduled 2-3 times per week, depending on your condition and severity. Many patients report noticeable improvement in pain and mobility after just 2-3 sessions. There is absolutely zero downtime — you can drive yourself to and from appointments and resume all normal activities immediately. This makes REMY laser an ideal option for active patients who cannot afford time away from work or their daily routine.
Frequently Asked Questions About REMY Laser Therapy
