Cold Laser Treatment is done with a handheld, noninvasive, light emitting medical device used in the treatment of several soft and connective tissue disorders and certain neurological disorders. Unlike other lasers that produce heat and thermo-destructive laser energy, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is also known as “cold laser.”

The FDA cleared Cold Laser Therapy as a form of phototherapy or light therapy. The cold laser device produces a beam of light, which is applied over the injured area to stimulate healing in a pain-free manner. The laser light triggers biological reactions in the cells producing chemical substances that are released into the blood flow and carried throughout the body causing some patients to experience relief in more than the treated area.

Here are some of the beneficial results of cold laser treatments:

• Reduces pain through the increase of natural endorphins.
• Reduces inflammation, swelling, redness, pain, and heat.
• Increases circulation and the natural healing process.
• Relaxes tight muscles.
• Allows bones to repair themselves more quickly.
