What is Cold Laser Therapy (Low Level Laser Therapy)?
Cold laser is a pure form of light energy of a specific color and wavelength that does not increase thermal temperature of what it is contacting. It WILL NOT burn or cut. 2. How does Cold Laser Therapy work? The laser light interacts with tissue causing the occurrence of certain photochemical reactions and stimulating the natural biological processes. Many of these reactions have beneficial effects including wound healing, tissue repair, swelling reduction, increased blood flow and pain reduction. This process is called photobiomodulation. (Many of the research papers substantiating these claims can be found at www.laser.nu) 3. Is Cold Laser Therapy painful? No. Low power lasers such as this do not generate perceivable heat. Most of our patients don’t feel anything during treatment. Occasionally there is a very slight tingling or warm sensation at the site of stimulation during the treatment of certain nerves. 4.
