COLD LASER THERAPY
Our infrared light therapy has been cleared by the FDA to provide topical heating for temporary increase in blood circulation; for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pain and stiffness and relaxation of muscles; and for muscle spasms and minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.
Cold laser therapy offers a non-intrusive option and non-addicting treatments. Cold lasers are widely used for treatment of:
- Acute and chronic pain
- Ligament sprains
- Muscle strain
- Soft tissue injuries
- Tendonitis
- Arthritis
- Tennis elbow
- Back pain
- Bursitis
- Fibromyalgia
Benefits of cold lasers include:
- Easy to apply
- Extremely safe
- Non-toxic
- Non-invasive
- No side effects or pain
- Highly effective in treating ailments
- Alternative to analgesics, NSAID’s and other medications
- Reduces the need for surgery
- Works synergistically with other modalities
General therapeutic laser biological effects include:
- Increased Cell Growth: Laser photons accelerate cellular reproduction and growth.
- Increased Metabolic Activity: Photons initiate a higher output of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells and thus greater production of the basic food source for cells, Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP).
- Faster Wound Healing: Cold laser photons stimulates fibroblast development and accelerates collagen synthesis in damaged tissue
- Anti-Inflammatory Action: Laser photons reduce swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints resulting in enhanced joint mobility.
- Increased Vascular Activity: Laser photons induce temporary vasodilation that increases blood flow to effected areas.
- Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation: Laser photons reduce the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from: cuts, scratches, burns or post surgery.
- Stimulated Nerve Function: Laser photon exposure speeds the process of nerve cell reconnect ion to bring the numb areas back to life.
- Pain Reduction: Almost all systems have a mode of operation specifically designed to reduce pain.
