Cold Laser Therapy

Cold Laser Therapy is a treatment whereby a cold laser is utilized to treat chronic and acute pain. Cold laser therapy is used for persons suffering from back and neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, joint pain associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, busiitis, neuropathy, achilles tendon pain, migraine headaces, sprains and strains, carpal tunnel and other associated pains. Cold laser therapy also treats conditions such as TMJ, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) and other inflammatory and scarring conditions.

Cold laser therapy increases ATP levels which allow the body to heal itself. Cold laser therapy is painless and noninvasive. Cold laser therapy is one of the most effective healing therapies in the medical community today. Cold laser therapy is not only significant in reducing treatment times, it is actually cost effective as well.

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a Handheld, noninvasive, light-emitting medical device which is used over different areas of the body. It provides an unmatched advantage in the treatment of conditions such as:

" Athletic Injuries
" Lower Back Pain
" Knee and Foot Pain
" Shoulder Injury
" Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
" Arthritis, Muscle Spasm
" Relief of Muscle and Joint Pain
" Skin infections, including cold sores
" Relief of Stiffness, the Promotion of Muscle Relaxation, and Cell Restoration
" Wound Management, Including Skin Ulcers, Pressure Sores and Burns
" Soft Tissue Injuries, Including Sprains and Strains, Tendonitis and Haematomas
" Joint Disorders and Conditions, Including Arthritis, and Tenosynovitis
" Chronic pain, including

Trigeminal Neuralgia and Chronic Neck and Back pain

"Diabetic Neuropathy"

What is Low Level Laser Therapy?

Low level laser therapy is painless, sterile, non-invasive, drug-free treatment used to treat a variety of pain syndromes, injuries, wounds, fractures, neurological conditions and pathologies. Unlike high power lasers that use heat and destroy tissue, Low Level Laser therapy can be used anytime a patient requests or needs a drugless procedure for the control of pain. It may also be used when conventional therapies have been ineffective or when the acceleration of healing from injuries is desired.

The red light it produces is between 630-650 nonometers(ideal is 635) and at present this is the only range that is effective.

How does it work?

It triggers the body to prodice ATP which is the energy that cells, tissue and organs need to function. Increased levels of ATP energy and DNA synthesis will benefit acute and chronic musculosketetal aches, pains and inframmation as well as autoimmune diseases.

Lasers are therapeutic, because they allow living tissue to maintain or return to normal without damaging tissue.

Are there side effects?

There are over 4500 published studies and not one of them demonstrated negative side effects.

Since the laser can achieve such miraculous results without side effects or risks, Low Level Laser therapy is here to stay. The future for laser therapy appears to extend past our present knowledge, but could hold the answer for many conditions once thought untreatable.

Better than Physical Therapy

Conditions that previously required physical therapy now can be treated faster and painlessly with low level laser.
