Cold Laser Therapy involves the application of low-power lasers to the body's surface to stimulate cellular function, reduce pain, and promote healing without generating heat.

The therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate tissues, where it's absorbed by cells. This absorption enhances cellular energy (ATP) production, leading to improved cell function and accelerated healing processes.
Cold Laser Therapy is effective in treating various conditions, including:
It's also used to promote wound healing and reduce inflammation.
Yes, Cold Laser Therapy is considered safe when administered by trained professionals. It is non-invasive, drug-free, and has minimal side effects. However, it's essential to avoid shining the laser directly into the eyes and not to use it over cancerous tissues.
Most patients experience little to no sensation during treatment. Some may feel a mild, soothing warmth or tingling at the application site. There is typically no pain associated with the therapy.
The number of sessions required varies based on the individual's condition:
Improvement is often noticed after a few sessions, but a full course of treatment may be necessary for optimal results.
Yes, Cold Laser Therapy aims to heal the underlying condition, not just mask the symptoms. This approach leads to long-lasting relief rather than temporary solutions.
Absolutely. Cold Laser Therapy can complement other treatments such as chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage, and post-surgical rehabilitation to enhance overall outcomes.
Cold Laser Therapy is non-invasive and typically free from significant side effects. Some patients might experience temporary soreness or an increase in pain after treatment, but these sensations usually subside quickly.
Cold Laser Therapy has been shown to be more effective than cryotherapy (ice therapy) in treating muscle strains and promoting recovery. It improves regional circulation and reduces pain without the discomfort associated with ice treatments.
Yes, Cold Laser Therapy is safe to use over medical implants or metal. It is a light treatment and does not involve heating, making it safe for post-operative wound healing and patients with hip or knee replacements.
Your Cold Laser Therapy session will be performed by a qualified chiropractor who has been specifically trained to administer Cold Laser Therapy.
Cold Laser Therapy can penetrate several centimeters into the tissue, depending on the wavelength, tissue type, and treatment technique. The therapeutic window for laser penetration is typically between 600-1200 nanometers, allowing the light to safely reach muscles, tendons, bones, and joints for effective treatment.
No, Cold Laser Therapy does not cause heat damage or cancer. Unlike high-intensity lasers used in surgical procedures, low-level lasers do not produce enough energy to damage cells or DNA. Instead, they stimulate natural healing processes without adverse effects.
Cold Laser Therapy is safe for most people, but it is generally not recommended for:
Always consult with a healthcare professional to determine if Cold Laser Therapy is right for you.
Yes, Cold Laser Therapy is backed by extensive clinical research and scientific studies demonstrating its effectiveness for pain relief, tissue repair, and inflammation reduction. It is widely used in sports medicine, physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and rehabilitation clinics worldwide.
