Don't worry I'm not inventing the latest fashion trend, these are the safety glasses we need to wear when delivering LASER therapy.
You may not be aware, but we have a LASER machine here in clinic that I can use as a treatment tool to support healing and reduce pain following birth and breastfeeding challenges.
Low-level LASER may be used to help manage:
• Cracked or painful ni***es associated with breastfeeding
• Perineal tears
• Episiotomy scars
• Perineal wound healing
• Sensitive or painful scar tissue after birth
LASER works by delivering light energy to the tissues, which may help support tissue repair, improve circulation and reduce inflammation and pain. Treatment is non-invasive, quick and generally comfortable.
For breastfeeding mothers, LASER may help settle pain and support the healing of damaged ni**le tissue, making feeding more manageable while addressing contributing factors such as latch, positioning and feeding mechanics.
For perineal and episiotomy scars, LASER may help reduce scar sensitivity, discomfort with sitting or movement, and support tissue healing in the early postpartum period.
Importantly, LASER is only one part of treatment. A pelvic health physiotherapist will also assess factors such as pelvic floor function, scar mobility, pressure management, feeding support / referral to a lactation consultant and overall recovery to provide individualised care.
Feel free to reach out or contact me if you are wondering if LASER may help you with your recovery.
