Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy is effective in treating:

• Surgical and traumatic wounds and lesions
• Mobility issues caused by muscle strain, fractures, joint disease and injuries to tendons or ligaments
• Arthritis
• Nerve damage

Protons within the laser beam aid healing by increasing cellular function to help with better absorption of nutrients and improved cell reproduction. Cold laser therapy works by:

• Reducing inflammation of soft tissue
• Increasing blood flow
• Releasing fluid build-up in body tissue (edema)
• Easing pain
• Decreasing bacteria

Depending on the medical situation, a series of applications, spaced over days or weeks, is usually recommended for full treatment.
