Are you struggling with tennis elbow or other persistent joint pain? Have a muscle strain that keeps coming back? Cold laser therapy is one of the most popular and valuable treatments for many injuries and strains.
Here at Central PA Spinal Health Chiropractic, LLC, we specialize in cold laser therapy, which can help you feel better without surgical intervention. Cold laser therapy is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to stimulate tissue and help accelerate your healing process. It is commonly used in sports medicine for professional athletes. Cold laser treatment can also be used on people suffering from acute and chronic conditions to eliminate pain and swelling, increase functionality, and reduce spasms.
How Cold Laser Therapy Sessions Work
Our educated chiropractor will place the cold laser directly on the injured area for a few minutes. At this time, the non-thermal photons of low-level light will be emitted from the laser and pass through the skin layers. The light can penetrate two to five centimeters below the skin at 90 mw and 830 nm.
When the light passes through your skin and reaches the injured area, the energy is absorbed and interacts with the light-sensitive elements in your cells. When cells absorb this light energy, it provides stimulation, which will assist with normalizing damaged or injured tissue, reducing pain, inflammation, edema, and overall healing time.
Who is Cold Laser Therapy Appropriate For?
This non-invasive treatment commonly treats muscle and joint pain, including arthritis symptoms and muscle spasms. Because laser therapy encourages cell regeneration and increases circulation, this tool is very popular among professional athletes and highly active persons who want to recover faster. The most common uses of cold laser therapy are:
- Inflammation
- Strains and Sprains
- Degenerative Joint Disease
- Osteoarthritis
- Post-Surgical Recovery
- Wounds
- Bone Fractures
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Laser therapy is a relatively simple and painless treatment that can provide a more comfortable and happy life for those who need it.
Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy
Are you struggling with slow recovery times or constant tension? Two major benefits of cold laser therapy are enhanced recovery times and muscle relaxation that can promote comfort and long-term healing. If you are looking for these kinds of benefits, then cold laser therapy is the treatment for you:
- Faster Recovery
- Endorphin Release
- Muscle Relaxation
- Decreased Inflammation
