How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?

Cold laser therapy, or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), might sound like a sci-fi invention, but it’s a widely adopted practice for treating both acute and chronic conditions. So, what is Cold Laser therapy exactly?

Cold lasers resemble a handheld flashlight or a small cold laser therapy machine. They use specific light wavelengths to stimulate cell regeneration. Your chiropractor places the laser directly over the affected area of your body for a few minutes. This light energy reaches the targeted area, enhancing cell function and promoting healing.

Here’s a simple breakdown of how it works:

1. 1. Equipment and Preparation: Cold laser therapy uses a small, handheld device about the size of a flashlight. The chiropractor places this device directly over the affected area, usually ranging from 30 seconds to several minutes, depending on the size of the area and the dosage provided by the cold laser.
   2. Light Penetration: The device emits non-thermal photons of light, which pass through the skin layers, including the dermis, epidermis, and the tissues underneath.
   3. Cellular Interaction: Once the light reaches the target area, it interacts with light-sensitive elements in the body’s cells. This process is similar to photosynthesis in plants, where the sunlight is absorbed by plants and converted into energy.
   4. Cell Stimulation: This light energy helps to repair damaged tissues and reduce pain and inflammation. It stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms on a cellular level, resulting in faster wound healing and pain reduction.
   5. Outcome: Cold laser therapy can help eliminate pain and swelling, reduce spasms, and increase functionality.

Remember, each patient’s experience with cold laser therapy might be slightly different. However, this therapy is a safe, non-invasive tool in managing various conditions and promoting cellular function and health.

What Conditions Can Cold Laser Therapy Help With?

Cold laser therapy helps alleviate pain, reduces swelling and spasms, and increases functionality. It’s a completely safe treatment, effectively used for most musculoskeletal injuries. Conditions like temporal mandibular joint pain (TMJ) and fibromyalgia can also see significant improvement with cold laser therapy.
