Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy that stimulates healing on a cellular level while using low levels of light. The red and near-infrared light cause a reaction, and the damaged cells respond with a physiological reaction that promotes regeneration to the body’s tissue.

Although you’ll feel the laser device touching your skin, the procedure is painless and noninvasive. There will be no sound and you’ll feel no vibration or heat. Each treatment typically takes only a few minutes.

Many practitioners often use cold laser for conditions such as:

Sprains/strains
Tendonitis / bursitis
Pain associated with muscle spasm
Neck/low back pain
Inflammation
Joint / soft tissue healing
Inflammation caused by RA or other chronic autoimmune diseases
Fibromyalgia
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Tennis elbow
TMJ

The potential for new applications for cold laser therapy is virtually limitless. Researchers are studying its use in hopes that it can help treat a variety of ailments and conditions, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
