Claim 0:
1. A method for treating a fibrous mass comprised of Morton's Neuroma in a human foot, the method comprising:
non-surgically delivering electromagnetic energy from a lasing device to the fibrous mass during a treatment of a plurality of treatments of the foot, each treatment including:
directing a beam of the laser having a frequency of about 7 Hz over a 5 mm diameter spot on a skin surface of the foot such that the beam irradiates the location of the fibrous mass;
adjusting a power of the laser such that the beam has an energy of up to 15 J/cm2 across an area of the skin surface impinged by the beam during irradiation of the fibrous mass;
delivering at least 1,000 pulses of the laser to the location, per treatment;
directing the beam onto the location to irradiate the fibrous mass for about 10 minutes; and
performing about 9 or more of the treatments;

wherein, as result of the plurality of treatments, a size of the fibrous mass is reduced and the fibrous mass is softened to an extent such that the patient is relieved of disability resulting from the Morton's neuroma beyond mere reduction in a pain level-associated with the fibrous mass.
