What Is It?
Cold laser therapy (also sometimes referred to as low-level light therapy) uses specific frequencies of red and near-infrared light to speed healing. The injured tissues absorb the light, where it triggers a reaction in the mitochondria of the cells. This stimulates the body’s own healing response, which leads to increased blood flow and oxygenation, as well as removal of toxins from the tissues.
Who Is It For?
Dr. Anderson may recommend laser therapy for acute injuries, including sprains and strains, chronic conditions like tendinitis, and even wounds that don’t heal. If she thinks this service can help you, Dr. Anderson will explain what’s involved and how it may help, along with the cost.
What to Expect
Each laser session lasts from 5-15 minutes, depending on the area being worked on. This safe, non-invasive therapy is completely painless and relaxing. We typically recommend a series of 5-6 sessions for maximum results. However, patients typically begin feeling improvement after just one session.
Low level light therapy is an excellent adjunct to our other services. While chiropractic adjustments help restore proper movement to joints that have been “stuck,” the laser can help the associated soft tissues heal, so the joint doesn’t immediately become restricted again.
