At Integrated Chiropractic, we are proud to offer a cutting-edge treatment known as Cold Laser Therapy. This advanced therapeutic technique utilizes low-level laser or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate healing and reduce pain. With its non-invasive nature and impressive results, Cold Laser Therapy has become a popular choice among our patients seeking natural and effective pain relief.
How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?
Cold Laser Therapy, also referred to as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT), involves the application of specific wavelengths of light to targeted areas of the body. These photons of light penetrate the skin and interact with cells, triggering a series of biochemical reactions.
The primary mechanism of action behind Cold Laser Therapy is the stimulation of cellular energy production within the mitochondria. The increased energy production promotes cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and enhances the body’s natural healing processes. It is believed that the therapy also has a positive effect on nerve conduction, immune function, and the release of endorphins, further contributing to pain reduction and improved well-being.
What Conditions Can Cold Laser Therapy Treat?
Cold Laser Therapy has shown great versatility in addressing a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. It can be used as a stand-alone treatment or as an adjunct therapy alongside chiropractic care, physical therapy, or other modalities. Some of the conditions that may benefit from Cold Laser Therapy include:
Musculoskeletal Pain and Injuries: Cold Laser Therapy can effectively alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue healing in cases of sprains, strains, tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, and more.
Sports Injuries: Athletes often turn to Cold Laser Therapy to accelerate recovery and enhance performance by reducing pain, improving joint function, and promoting tissue repair.
Neck and Back Pain: Cold Laser Therapy can provide relief from common conditions such as neck pain, herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic low back pain.
Joint Disorders: Conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can benefit from Cold Laser Therapy, as it helps reduce inflammation, improve joint mobility, and alleviate pain.
Nerve Pain: Cold Laser Therapy has been shown to have a positive effect on neuropathic pain, including conditions like peripheral neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome.
What to Expect During a Cold Laser Therapy Session
During a Cold Laser Therapy session at Integrated Chiropractic, you can expect a comfortable and relaxing experience. The treatment is painless, non-invasive, and does not involve any downtime. Your chiropractor will use a handheld device to direct the laser or LED light to the specific areas requiring treatment. The duration of each session may vary depending on the condition being addressed.
Many patients report feeling a gentle warmth or tingling sensation during the treatment, but overall, it is a pleasant and well-tolerated procedure. The number of sessions needed will depend on the individual and the severity of their condition. Your chiropractor will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
