Cold Laser Therapy
What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Low-level laser therapy, also known as cold laser or low level laser, modifies cellular function. Light photons that are non-thermal enter the skin and travel to the desired location. It enters the cell, interacts with the light-sensitive components there, and sets off a chain of events that lessen inflammation, restores function to injured or damaged tissues, and boost intracellular metabolism, all speeding up the healing process.
Cold laser is used to relieve pain for a wide variety of ailments that include:
- Frozen shoulder
- Tennis Elbow
- Shingles
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Tendonitis
