Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is an innovative and non-invasive treatment that utilizes the power of light energy to expedite the body's natural healing process. It is particularly effective in providing long-term relief from neuromusculoskeletal pain, discomfort, and inflammation. Cold laser therapy offers a quick and straightforward office-based solution with no known side effects and no required downtime. Treatment sessions are relatively short, typically ranging from five to 20 minutes, depending on the number of areas being addressed.

How Cold Laser Therapy Works:

The underlying mechanism of cold laser therapy involves the use of a specialized laser device that emits low-intensity light. This light penetrates the skin, delivering energy units called photons to damaged or compromised cells. When these photons reach the targeted cells, they are absorbed and subsequently stimulate the healing process. This stimulation occurs by increasing blood circulation to the area, which in turn brings more oxygen, water, and essential nutrients to support the healing process. Additionally, cold laser therapy helps reduce nerve sensitivity, inflammation, and pain. It encourages the release of the body's own pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins and enkephalins.

Common Issues Treated with Cold Laser Therapy:

Cold laser therapy has demonstrated its effectiveness in addressing a wide range of musculoskeletal issues. Some of the most common conditions treated with cold laser therapy at Discover Wellness Center include:

• Knee Pain/Arthritis
• Shoulder Pain
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Low Back Pain
• Hip Pain
• Tennis Elbow/Tendonitis
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Sciatica Pain
• Neck Pain
• Fibromyalgia Pain
• Stiffness Associated with Arthritis
• Muscle Spasms and Associated Pain

Sensations During Cold Laser Therapy:

Most individuals undergoing cold laser therapy typically report feeling little to nothing during the treatment session. Some may describe experiencing a slight tingling sensation. Importantly, the laser does not produce heat, and patients do not experience pain during the procedure.

Timelines for Relief:

Healing begins immediately after cold laser therapy, and some patients may experience immediate relief and improved range of motion. However, responses to treatment can vary. Some individuals notice benefits several hours after their session. It's important to note that the advantages of cold laser therapy are cumulative, and regular follow-up treatments can result in lasting and continuous improvement.

Cold laser therapy offers a safe and effective way to address various musculoskeletal issues without the need for surgery or medication. It harnesses the power of light to promote natural healing, alleviate pain, and enhance overall well-being. Consult with us today to explore the benefits of cold laser therapy.
