We take a holistic approach to treatment, using different techniques to maximize results.

What is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy uses light wavelengths. It differs from other forms of laser therapy because it does not heat the area. The laser device is applied to the area that needs to be treated. The light penetrates the body's tissues and causes a reaction. This reaction stimulates the body to regenerate and heal itself. 

When you get cold laser therapy, you will only feel the device against your skin. You will not feel vibration, heat, or pain. 

Conditions Treated with Cold Laser Therapy

Laser therapy can treat a wide variety of conditions. They are often used to aid in wound healing and reduce inflammation. This treatment is effective for many conditions that cause pain.

These include:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Arthritis
  • Muscle spasms
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Low back pain

Laser therapy reduces swelling and encourages healing in soft tissues, joints, and ligaments. This makes it a great treatment for acute and chronic issues. It is particularly helpful for chronic pain, because it can provide relief without the side effects of pain medication. It is also ideal for difficult to treat conditions like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. 

Laser Therapy for Acupuncture

Traditional acupuncture uses needles to stimulate the body's energy meridians.  Acupuncture can relieve pain, boost immunity, and increase energy. The needles are inserted into the skin, and the process shouldn't be painful, but some people aren't comfortable with the use of needles. Cold laser therapy can be used in place of needles to stimulate and balance the energy meridians. 

Acupuncture can treat many of the conditions as standard cold laser therapy. These include arthritis, back pain, fibromyalgia, and carpal tunnel syndrome. It is also an effective treatment for myofascial pain, headaches, nausea, allergies, and asthma. 

Advantages of Laser Therapy

This treatment offers several advantages. When performed by a trained chiropractor or acupuncturist, there are no major side effects to treatment. Since it is noninvasive, there is no recovery period needed for the procedure itself.

It can be used as an alternative to medication, or as a complementary treatment with medication. It can also be used with chiropractic treatment and physical therapy.
