What is cold laser therapy?
Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light that are applied to the affected area using a handheld device. Unlike surgical lasers, cold laser therapy does not cut or heat tissue.
What is cold laser therapy used for?
Cold laser therapy may be used as part of a broader treatment plan for muscle and joint discomfort, inflammation, sprains and strains, tendon irritation, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
What happens during a cold laser treatment?
The laser device is positioned directly over or near the treatment area for a short period of time. Most patients feel little to no sensation during treatment. Cold laser therapy can also be combined with chiropractic care, rehabilitative exercise, soft tissue therapy, and other physical medicine treatments when appropriate.
