Advanced Care. Personalized Treatment.

At Prime Podiatry, we understand that there is no single treatment that is right for every patient. Dr. Elias Logothetis evaluates your condition, symptoms, activity level, and treatment goals before determining whether Red Light Therapy may be beneficial as part of your treatment plan.

Depending on your diagnosis, Red Light Therapy may be used alone or incorporated alongside other treatment options available at Prime Podiatry, including:

Our goal is not simply to address your symptoms. We work to identify the underlying cause of your foot or ankle problem and create an individualized treatment plan designed to help you recover, move comfortably, and stay active.

In the Office — and at Home

RedVive technology provides the ability to support recovery both during treatment at Prime Podiatry and between appointments at home.

In-Office Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy may be used during office visits or following certain treatments or procedures as part of an individualized recovery plan.

Sessions are non-invasive and can be conveniently incorporated into your care.

At-Home Red Light Therapy
