Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy
We utilize advanced and cutting edge therapies in combination with other treatment options to customize care based on the individual’s specific needs. Cold Laser is non-invasive and does not produce any thermal feeling when applied. The laser penetrates the skin and interacts with the cellular level of the body in order to promote healing at the affected tissues. During our initial examination and consultation, it will be determined if cold laser is the necessary therapy for your condition.
How Does It Work?
Once the light passes through all the layers of the skin and reaches that target area, it is absorbed by light-sensitive elements within the cell. This triggers a series of events in the cell that eventually lead to the normalization and repair of damaged tissue. As the tissues are repaired, patients experience a reduction in inflammation and pain. The use of cold laser therapy also promotes faster healing by increasing metabolism within the cells.
What Conditions Can This Benefit?
Cold laser therapy can be used to treat both superficial injuries and pain originating deep below the surface of the skin. Conditions commonly treated using cold laser therapy include: •Arthritis •Carpal tunnel syndrome •Back pain •Fibromyalgia •Neck pain •Knee pain •Tendonitis
