Cold Laser Therapy or LLLT (Low level laser therapy) is a painless, sterile, non-invasive, drug-free treatment which is used to treat a variety of pain syndromes, injuries, wounds, fractures, neurological conditions and pathologies.
How does Cold Laser Therapy work?
Cold Laser Therapy is a non-thermal laser capable of penetrating deep into tissue. Once delivered, the light energy promotes the process of photobiostimulation. In human tissue the resulting photochemical reaction produces an increase in the cellular metabolism rate that expedites cell repair and the stimulation of the immune, lymphatic and vascular systems.
What can I expect receiving Cold Laser Therapy?
The net result is the reduction of pain, inflammation, edema and overall reduction in healing time. Relief for muscle and joint pain, without resorting to using drugs.
Is Cold Laser Therapy painful?
No. You should not experience any pain during treatment, and no heat is generated by the light. After treatment, you should also not feel pain or discomfort.
