St. Louis Podiatrist Introduces New Laser Technology for Improved Care

Dr. Richard Wittock, podiatrist in St. Louis, is adding new laser technology to Ankle and Foot Institute for acute and chronic pain.

2012-11-22

FENTON, MO, November 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) When pain is experienced, it can often interrupt a person's daily activities. In order to help patients find relief from their acute and chronic pain, Dr. Richard Wittock, St. Louis podiatrist, is proud to announce the recent addition of new laser technology at Ankle and Foot Institute. The MLS M6 musculoskeletal laser from cutting edge CElasers.com is available to relieve various foot pain.

The MLS M6 musculoskeletal laser utilizes specific light wavelengths to treat painful and debilitating conditions. Light energy enters damaged cells and stimulates inter-cellular activity, which then reduces pain in the area and speeds the recovery of damaged cells. Dr. Wittock, podiatrist in St. Louis, can treat a patient's pain within minutes with this painless procedure.

"This laser technology is a non-surgical option that has the power to manage pain, reduce inflammation, increase mobility, and help to speed recovery. There is no discomfort experienced during treatment, and no known side effects, which helps to provide my patients with long lasting results," said Dr. Richard Wittock, St. Louis, MO podiatrist.

Whether patients are suffering from a sprain or plantar fasciitis in St. Louis, the MLS M6 laser works to provide patients with relief immediately. This procedure works by flooding the tissues with light photons of specific wavelengths to treat painful debilitating conditions by energizing the damaged cells and increasing circulation to the painful area. By doing this, it produces a cascade of healing responses in a patient's body, reducing inflammation, thereby reducing or even eliminating the pain. Treatment with the MLS M6 laser typically takes less than 15 minutes on average. However, therapeutic effect continues to soothe and heal the area long after the patient leaves Ankle and Foot Institute.

With this advanced technology, Dr. Wittock, podiatrist in St. Louis, MO, hopes to provide his patients with improved relief of their often-debilitating pain. Patients are encouraged to contact Dr. Richard Wittock at Ankle and Foot Institute by visiting the website at http://www.ankleandfootinstitute.com, or by calling the office at (636) 717-1100. Through this advanced laser technology treatment, Dr. Wittock, podiatrist offering orthotics in St. Louis, further proves his dedication to providing his patients with pain relief, once and for all.

About Ankle and Foot Institute: Dr. Richard Wittock received his doctorate from Barry University in Miami, FL, and earned Magna Cum Laude honors in both his undergraduate and doctoral degrees. He is also a specialist in reconstructive surgery of the ankle and foot. Dr. Wittock's post-doctoral training included a 3-year surgical residency at the Detroit Medical Center at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. He also completed a traumatology fellowship in Mainz, Germany and an external fixation fellowship in Kurgan, Russia.
