What is Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser, or low level laser, is a therapy that uses low-level lasers to alter cellular function.  Non-thermal photons of light penetrate the skin to reach the targeted area. It is absorbed and interacts with the light sensitive elements in the cell that initiates a series of events in the cells that result in reduced inflammation, normalization of damaged or injured tissues, and increased intracellular metabolism-which reduces healing time.

Cold Laser Therapy is used to relieve pain for a wide variety of ailments that include:

• Frozen Shoulder

• Tennis Elbow

• Shingles

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Tendonitis

• Arthritis

• Bursitis

• Plantar Fasciitis

The Cold Laser Therapy is also pain free, drug free, and non-addictive, as opposed to most of the leading treatments, and is performed right in our office. Patients can use cold laser in conjunction with all of our other therapies, and generally are recommended to do so. This therapy only lasts between 10 and 15 minutes each time, which makes it convenient, as well.

Cold Laser Therapy has numerous benefits, as a therapy it:

• Is safe

• Is non-invasive

• Is non-toxic

• Reduces the need for surgery

• Is cost effective

Not only does it offer many advantages over alternative forms of treatment, Cold Laser Therapy is also a very versatile therapy. Not only does it provide increased circulation to the targeted area, promoting natural healing, but it also reduces inflammation and breaks up scar tissue. Patients find that cold laser therapy decreases healing time and severity of injuries.  It provides pain relief for over 300 issues. The greatest benefit of cold laser therapy is the opportunity to feel better, faster.

What is the difference between Red Light and Cold Laser Therapy:

Red Light Therapy encompasses a wide range of devices, from superficial, low-power "gadgets" and passive LED panels that offer minimal deep tissue penetration due to light scattering, to advanced Multi Radiance lasers. Unlike these less effective options, Multi Radiance lasers are applied directly to the skin to concentrate photon delivery, utilizing "Overpressure" to displace fluid and enable deeper penetration to tissues like tendons and bones. These professional devices combine multiple wavelengths (red, infrared broadband LEDs, and 905nm gallium arsenide laser diodes) with pulsing and super-pulsing in nanoseconds, and a static magnetic field. These features collectively drive photons deeper, prevents tissues from overheating, preventing tissue accommodation, utilizes sustain light thus, allowing for quick delivery of therapeutic energy (30-60 joules) to deep tissues, a feat not achievable by continuous, low-power red light therapy alternatives.
