What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy is a chiropractic treatment that uses a low-intensity laser to eliminate swelling, reduce spasms, and accelerate natural healing. The technique is “cold” because the laser isn’t powerful enough to heat your body tissue.
The use of cold laser therapy provides a variety of pain relief benefits without the risks of surgery or anti-inflammatory medications. The procedure is safe, painless, and free of harmful side effects.
Cold laser therapy can also be accompanied by other chiropractic treatment options, such as chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression therapy. The treatment lasts about 10-15 minutes per session, making it convenient to add to any regular appointment.
How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?
Cold laser therapy provides healing effects without the need for painful surgery or drugs with harmful side effects.
During treatment, our chiropractors Dr. Jere & Dr. Philip points the cold laser device directly at the skin. The device then sends a rapid light pulse that lasts between 30 to 60 seconds.
Cold laser therapy helps relieve pain by stimulating the body’s cellular activity and natural healing processes. The device uses low levels of energy that painlessly penetrate the skin without heating or cutting. The light permeates deep within the joints, producing healing energy that helps damaged cells and tissues heal.
Cold laser therapy is not a one-off treatment and can take as few as eight or as many as 30 treatments to see results.
How Long Does Cold Laser Therapy Take?
The typical course of treatment is 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area. Length of treatment varies on injury severity and the patient’s overall health. Patients often return for treatment at least two to four times a week.
Keep in mind — while you may experience immediate pain relief, this doesn’t necessarily mean your injury is healed. To ensure long-term success, Dr. Jere & Dr. Philip may recommend a complete course of chiropractic treatment, such as adjustments, muscle testing, or nutritional counseling.
