Why Choose Podiatrists Over Technicians for Laser Nail Therapy 🦶

At laser nail therapy we have podiatrists conduct our laser treatments instead of technicians who work with machinery. In this video we will discuss the difference between podiatrists and technicians.

A medical technician is someone who is trained to use a piece of technology used in the medical field. They generally study laser technology, math, physics, and basic engineering and have a bachelor's degree.

A podiatrist is a physician/surgeon that specializes in treating health problems that occur below the waist. This includes the leg, foot, or ankle. They must go to podiatric medical school for 4 years as well as complete 3 years of residency training in a hospital.

The benefits of having a podiatrist conduct the treatment rather than a technician is that they are able to
Diagnose your condition before the treatment
Determine whether laser therapy is the right method for you
Provide procedure for post treatment care
Answer further questions or concerns regarding your foot condition

The downsides to not having a technician conduct the laser treatment is Podiatrists don’t go through as much training as technicians do for using laser technology However, this can easily be combated by training podiatrists to use the laser technology, especially since it is easy to use.
