Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive, painless form of treatment used to reduce pain and inflammation in the body. It uses light energy in the form of low-level or “cold” lasers to stimulate cells, increase blood circulation and improve tissue healing. Cold laser therapy has become increasingly popular as a way of managing chronic and acute pain.
The laser light penetrates deep into the skin, where it stimulates cellular activity such as increased circulation. This helps promote an anti-inflammatory response that reduces both swelling and nerve conduction pain (like tingling or burning sensations). When cold laser therapy is applied to an area of injury or inflammation, it can give prompt relief from symptoms such as soreness, stiffness and tenderness.
Cold laser therapy is commonly used for conditions that cause chronic and acute pain such as:
• Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Neuropathy
• Postherpetic neuralgia
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• TMJ disorders
It is also beneficial in reducing inflammation associated with injuries like strains, sprains, tendonitis and bursitis. While cold laser therapy does not replace more traditional methods of treating these conditions, it can help speed up the recovery process by reducing inflammation faster than conventional treatments.
There are many benefits associated with cold laser therapy compared to other forms of treatment:
1. Non-invasive – Unlike some forms of treatments which require surgery or medications with side effects this one does not require any incisions or drugs.
2. Non destructive – The therapeutic effect comes without damaging tissues like high powered lasers do during some surgeries
3. Painless – Most people experience no discomfort during treatment
4. Quick – Treatment typically takes between 5 to 20 minutes depending on what part of the body is being treated
5. Safe – It has been around since the 1970s with safety records demonstrating its effectiveness
Cold laser therapy can be a safe, effective option for managing chronic and acute pain resulting from various medical conditions or injuries. If you are considering this form of treatment for your condition,
