How Do Lasers Treat Nail Fungus?

Lunula Laser is a dual-diode, low-level laser device that delivers a multifaceted treatment to target nail fungus. Lunula laser follows the principles of photochemistry, the science of how light affects cell function and behavior. Lunula Laser uses two therapeutic wavelengths: 405 nm (violet) and 635 nm (red) and each wavelength performs a very specific function to provide a comprehensive treatment to target nail fungus. The laser is administered as a line-generated beam, which maximizes the treatment surface area covering hard-to-reach areas that fungus may reside in such as deep within a thickened nail or along the nail bed and root.

When Should I Be Concerned about Heel Pain?

You should be worried about heel pain when you experience severe swelling and pain near your heel and have severe heel pain right after an injury. Additionally, other causes of concern involve the inability to bend your foot downward, walk normally, or rise on your toes, and heel pain with tingling or numbness in your heel with a fever. You should seek medical attention if your heel pain continues when you are not walking or standing, and your pain lasts more than a couple of weeks, even after you tried ice, rest, and other home remedies.
