Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy that stimulates healing while using low levels of light.

During this procedure, different wavelengths and outputs of low-level light are applied directly to a targeted area. The body tissue then absorbs the light. The red and near-infrared light cause a reaction and the damaged cells respond with a physiological response that promotes regeneration.

​

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

​

Chiropractors, sports medicine, and physical therapy practices often use cold laser therapy in the treatment of minor injuries and sprains, such as:

​

• Ligament sprains

• Muscle strains

• Tendonitis

• Bursitis

• Tennis elbow

• Neck pain

• Lower back pain

• Knee pain

• Pain associated with muscle spasms

​

It’s also used to help reduce swelling and promote healing of the joints and soft tissue.
