What is Cold Laser Therapy?

Near-infrared lasers use special wavelengths of light to penetrate skin up to 5 cm deep to encourage the regeneration of tissue and muscle. It creates a photochemical response in damaged tissues stimulating your own body's ability to heal.

The handheld device is used by our chiropractor and is a noninvasive way to help support the body's restoration process and reduce inflammation. The cold laser therapy treatments range from 30 minutes to longer depending on your unique situation.

Typically, multiple treatments are necessary depending on your condition. Since it involves no medications or preparations, it is a non-toxic and gentle way to treat pain, scar tissue, and injury. It's often used to strengthen joints due to the ability to accelerate collagen production.
