Hello
You can take laser therapy for blood clots.

It takes a series of treatments, usually 8 to 30, depending on the severity and duration of the condition.
Patients often have to return to the doctor for treatments at least 2 to 4 times per week. Old injuries may be aggravated for a few days after treatments.


physiotherapy will help but temporary, pain relief is good with out side effects.But you may need to take for long time.
Ultrasound and TENS therapy may help.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
