Cold Laser Therapy 

Cold laser systems emit infrared light that penetrates deep into the skin/tissue layers and stimulates the tissues at a cellular level to promote healing and tissue repair. It promotes circulation and metabolic activity, resulting in immune and nerve stimulation and tissue regeneration. Treatment also causes muscle relaxation and accelerated wound healing. It also stimulates the release of the body’s natural, pain killing and anti-inflammatory chemicals/hormones to facilitate pain relief and decrease inflammation. This non-invasive therapy is painless and treatment sessions last only 10-15 minutes.

What to expect...

Cold laser treatments do not require sedation and there is no pain associated with therapy. Improvement is often seen after the first visit; however, most patients require several treatments (3 to 8) for the greatest benefit. A sample treatment schedule might be every other day for one week (3 treatments), followed by once or twice weekly for two weeks, and then follow-up therapies as needed. Our cold laser unit can be rented out to clients for daily use if needed.
