3 Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy harnesses the power of low-level lasers to stimulate healing of damaged tissues. Cold laser therapy, sometimes called soft laser therapy, enhances the progress of healing while effectively reducing pain and inflammation.

Cold laser therapy emits special beams of light, known as photons, which stimulate your body’s production of certain enzymes, oxygen and nutrients at the treatment area, thereby creating a rich environment for healing. These cold laser photons also stimulate the development of fibroblasts and accelerate the synthesis of collagen, both important types of connective tissue, in the damage tissue. This means cold laser therapy provides fast, effective wound healing.

Cold Laser Therapy Provides Drug-free Pain Relief

Cold laser therapy relieves pain without the use of dangerous prescription drugs, which can produce serious side effects, including addiction and overdose. There are no side effects associated with cold laser therapy, and it does not require a prescription.

Cold Laser Therapy is Non-invasive

Cold laser therapy does not require a surgical incision, so there is no recovery time and zero risk for infection. There is no overnight stay in an expensive hospital, so cold laser therapy is convenient and cost-effective. Cold laser therapy can even reduce your need for surgery if you have a condition that may someday require an operation.

Cold laser therapy does not produce scars. In fact, the photons produced by cold laser therapy reduce the formation of scar tissue resulting from tissue damage resulting from cuts, scratches, burns, or surgery.

Cold Laser Therapy Enhances Chiropractic Treatment

Cold laser therapy and chiropractic treatment are mutually beneficial, with one treatment enhancing the therapeutic benefits of the other. Cold laser therapy reduces inflammation and pain in a way that optimizes the treatments provided by the chiropractor. Chiropractic treatment aligns bones and relaxes muscles to allow the laser light waves to penetrate properly and deeply into body tissues. Cold laser treatments then speed the healing process after chiropractic treatment.
