LASER THERAPY

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 reaction that promotes regeneration.  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.

Doctors, dentists, physical therapists, and other medical professionals use cold laser therapy in a variety of ways. The main uses for cold laser therapy are tissue repair and relief from pain and inflammation.  

Minor injuries and sprains 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.

Doctors use it to treat inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other chronic autoimmune diseases.

Pain clinics use cold laser therapy to help people with acute or chronic pain from conditions such as fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel syndrome.

The use of cold laser therapy is growing in traditional medical practice and as a complementary or alternative therapy. It’s approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a number of conditions.   Cold Infrared Laser therapy is considered safe when performed under the care of a doctor or qualified practitioner.  On the plus side, it’s also non-invasive and painless. It doesn’t require medication or other preparation either.
