What is a Cold Laser?
Cold laser therapy involves low-intensity light. The energy isn’t enough to heat your body’s tissue – hence the term “cold” laser – but it can penetrate the tissue to stimulate the light-reactive biological cell receptors in your body. This stimulation speeds up the healing process and helps treat inflammation while reducing pain and spasms. This therapy also improves the flexibility of the injured area so that it can eventually start moving normally again.
How Does the Treatment Work?
Cold laser therapy in Culver City, Van Nuys & Ontario takes about 10 to 15 minutes. The laser is aimed at the affected area to treat the damaged cells. The process is not painful and generally causes little to no sensation at all, to the point where you might even doze off. Your treatment plan for cold laser therapy might last several weeks, with 2 to 3 sessions a week. Once the therapy is complete, your body will be healed, and the pain will be gone.
Is Cold Laser Therapy Right for Me?
Cold laser therapy is a safe, non-invasive, painless treatment requiring no medication or other preparation. It’s recommended for arthritis, muscle pain, back pain, neck pain, nerve pain, and many other conditions. That said, it is not normally recommended for pregnant women, children, and people with heart conditions or dangerously high blood pressure.
